Notes about Dwight David Eisenhower

Dwight David Eisenhower was born in Denison, Texas, United States, on October 14, 1890. The son of a modest rural family in Kansas, he was educated with strict discipline following the family religion. Eisenhower was promoted to general and in 1942 he obtained his first command post of the troops that landed in North Africa, alongside the British, in the so-called Torch operation, organized to stop the German occupation. Then General Eisenhower oversaw the invasion of Sicily and the subsequent campaign in Italy. However, its main military operation was the organization and direction of the landing in Normandy, destined to definitely open a western front to defeat the troops of Nazi Germany, in the so-called Operation Overlord, in 1944. The success achieved with the risky and complete landing operation in Normandy on June 6, 1944 contributed to accelerate the end of the war and the general to gain prestige and popularity. Eisenhower led the final victorious offensive against the Third Reich across France. A month after the landing, the coast of southern France was taken. In May 1945, after the fall of Berlin, the Germans finally surrendered.
