Product Details

AN ORIGINAL AND IMPORTANT SIGNAL FROM EISENHOWER TO MONTGOMERY, DATED 25th JUNE 1944,
classified as 'SECRET URGENT' and sent to Montgomery on the eve of Operation Epsom, it reads "I learn that your attack on the east flank started this morning. All luck in the world to you and Dempsey. Please do not hesitate to make the maximum demands for any air assistance that can possibly be useful to you. Whenever there is any legitimate opportunity we must blast the enemy with everything we have. I am hopeful that Bradley [Gen. Omar Bradley] can quickly clean up the Cherbourg mess and turn around to attack southwards while you have got the enemy by the throat on the east. I am sure that Bradley understands the necessity of hitting hard and incessantly. Again good luck."
