Marching Orders: The Untold Story of How the American Breaking of the Japanese Secret Codes Led to the Defeat of Nazi Germany and Japan

by Bruce Lee

Everything is based on the logistical reasoning for OVERLORD says Marshall. He appears to be somewhat at a loss for words as he watches the situation worsen. King comes to Marshall’s rescue. He points out there is a problem and it will have to be worked out. But the planning for OVERLORD is so far advanced at this point that it isn’t practicable to accept any change in OVERLORD’S deployment. It all goes back to the ports in England says Marshall. There must be a scheme for disengaging OVERLORD at any stage of development in order to comply with the political considerations now being outlined by the President. Roosevelt says it is his idea for our military to use as many troops as possible from America for the occupation of Germany. They can be shipped around the northern end of Scotland.
