what was the military situation
when this conference took place
I shall take the facts from the
diary of Captain Harry C Butcher,
who vas naval aide to General
Eisenhower. On Jan. 20. 1914,
which was shortly after the decis-
i've conference at Tehran, he notes
that "the length of the front line
in Russia as measured on the map
is slightly more than 1900 mile
80. Our intelligence shows the
Russians have 430 divisions and
the Germans 2o0-plus On the Rus
sian front" We were fighting in
Italy; the great offensive into
France was set to take place four
months later. Mr.. Roosevelt was
commander-in-chief, and he was no
less interested than was General
Eisenhower Or the combined chiefs
of staff m seeing to it that the 200
plus German divisions pinned down
on the Russian front were not wait
ing for our troops on the beaches
Of Normandy.
For, as Captain Butcher tells us
in an entry On March 10, 1914, the
estimate of land forces which
would be available on May 81 for
the landing were ten British in
fantry divisions and thirteen Amer
icaa. A month later. six weeks
before our landing, the intelligence
services reported that the Germans
had 1886 divisions in Europe. Of
these fifty-one we're in France and
the Low Countries, tWenty-three
were in Italy, and about 235 were
on the eastern front or in countries
of eastern Europe.
