The main leader of D-Day in Europe was General Eisenhower. There where a few others who helped from the British forces. Obviously the above answer is from an American. Actually General Bernard Montgomery was the Ground Forces Commander in Chief (21st Army Group). The senior U.S. Commander was Lieutenant-General Omar Bradley Commander U.S. 1st Army (composed of the 1st U.S. Infantry Division, the 4th U.S. Infantry Division, the 29th U.S. Infantry Division, the 82nd U.S. Airborne Division and the 101st U.S. Airborne Division). while Lieutenant-General Mike Dempsey Commanded the 2nd British Army (composed of the 3rd British Infantry Division, the 6th British Airborne Division, the 50th British Infantry Division and the 3rd Canadian infantry Division under Major-General R.F.L. Keller)
