Following his arrival in London, Major General Dwight D. Eisenhower takes command of U.S. forces in Europe. Although Eisenhower had never seen combat during his 27 years as an army officer, his knowledge of military strategy and talent for organization were such that Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall chose him over nearly 400 senior officers to lead U.S. forces in the war against Germany. After proving himself on the battlefields of North Africa and Italy in 1942 and 1943, Eisenhower was appointed supreme commander of Operation Overlord–the Allied invasion of northwestern Europe.
Eisenhower, it seems, never set foot in Africa to fight anyone.
Let's take a look at the man who picked Eisenhower, let's take a glance at George C Marshall......a different view of Marshall, a view from the inside.
Take a look at Stalin's Secret Agents, p. 130-133.
"If Marshall ever had a chance to do Chiang in, God help him." Yeaton
Eisenhower was picked by Marshall because Eisenhower was a pussy.
I follow Yeaton. Take a look at Yeaton's Chart. You can take it to the bank.
