The military commander of the Pacific allies in WWII was Dwight D. Eisenhower. He orchestrated the invasion at Normandy (D-Day) and other offensives undertaken by the allies. A month after the Normandy D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, the invasion of southern France took place, and control of the forces which took part in the southern invasion passed from the AFHQ (allied operational headquarters) to the SHAEF [Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force (Eisenhower)]. From then until the end of the War in Europe on May 8, 1945, Eisenhower through SHAEF had supreme command of all operational Allied forces, and through his command of ETOUSA, administrative command of all U.S. forces, on the Western Front north of the Alps. Eisenhower was under command of the current President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and later Harry Truman.
