		By the end of 1943, Eisenhower had been named Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, ultimately responsible for planning and directing the impending invasion of Normandy, the possessor of awesome power and responsibilities.
		Even in the so-called "good war", hundreds of thousands of allied soldiers died as a direct result of the arrogance, the impetuousness, the sheer incompetence of their commanders and D'Este pulls no punches in chronicling these.
		And yet the war was eventually won, despite the personalities involved, the bitter rivalries, the failures in command, the increasingly divergent aims of the British, the Americans and finally, the Russians.

	History, Chief of Staff to Supreme Allied Commad
		It was expected that the Supreme Commander ultimately to be appointed would be a BRITISH general and that he would have an AMERICAN deputy, so the nomination of the Chief of Staff was decided on parallel lines.
		He desired the ultimate Supreme Commander's staff to be modelled on that employed by Marshal FOCH at the end of the war of 1914-1918: "a really small body of selected officers who dealt with the major decisions on broad lines, the day-to-day work of the war being delegated completely to commanders of army groups".
		The Supreme tallied Commander was to be responsible for the co-ordination of planning and would control the execution of the operation as a whole.

		On the night of 5 June, after he'd given the final order for the Allied invasion to proceed, he took a scrap of paper from his pocket and wrote out the text of the press release he hoped he'd never have to give.
		Any inkling of where and when the Allies were going to land would have certainly produced disaster, enabling the Germans to bring the full force of their fire to bear at the very moment that Allied forces were at their most vulnerable, as they landed on the beaches.
		Key to this Allied surprise was extreme secrecy, aided by a brilliant deception campaign that convinced Hitler that the main thrust of the attack would be in the Pas-de-Calais area - not Normandy - and at a later date.

		Lloyd George had long formed a mistrust (bordering on detestation) of both Haig and his prime supporter in London, developing grave reservations concerning their military strategy which grew in the wake of successive debacles at the Somme from July 1916 and at Passchendaele from late July 1917.
		At the Rapallo Conference of 5-7 November 1917 he proposed the establishment of the Supreme War Council (based at Versailles) intended as a co-ordinated Allied effort to oversee military strategy, initially directed at Italy, with a leading military figure from each Allied nation appointed to sit on the council.
		The financial cost of the war is said to have amounted to almost $38 billion for Germany alone; Britain spent $35 billion, France $24 billion, Russia $22 billion, USA $22 billion and Austria-Hungary $20 billion.
