If only Eisenhower had a military mind like you on his staff.

He never realized that all it took was a few commandos to take down the Nazi costal defenses. If only he had your wisdom D-Day would have been a walk in the park.

Eisenhower did have a bunch of commandos running around making a mess of things in France.
But Ike couldn’t buy his commandos airline tickets into occupied France and Germany, nor could they get tourist or business visas, so it was bit harder for them.
Nor was Ike ‘Pearl Harboring’ the Germans, who were expecting his arrival at any time.
