General Dwight D. Eisenhower was the commanding officer of the European Theater. He was ultimately responsible for the Normandy Invasion and the battles from that point on. He was not the only one to master mind the plans. He had many generals under him. The most notable were General Omar Bradley and Field Marshal Montgomery.
