BY General Bradley

bright unshaded light. On the
deck the big funs of the Augusta
Numbered to the world that u
secret was out. 1 pushed through
the canvas tarp and turned my
glasses toward the Normandy
coast.
At that point there was nothing
for me to do. The plan had taken
over; the invasion was on. For
the moment there was nothing any
general could do but trust in the
plan and in the men who would
carry it through. Not until later in
the day could l hope to control or
influence our forces ashore. The
attack was in the hands Of the
assault platoons.
All that morning we waited. And
yet even during those crucial hours
/ never detected the slightest sus-
picion that we would not get
ashore-almost precisely as we had
planned. The invasion had been
built on confidence-on confidence
in the plan and in our ability 10
made it work. 1t was won On faith,
on the faith of commanders in the
courage of their troops and on the
faith of those troops in the skill Of
their leaders.
That faith never wavered. And
because it held, the invasion was
never for a moment in doubt.
When I look back three years
ago to D-Day. in France l cannot
help but contrast the certainty we
felt then with the uncertainty that
troubles so many Or III now.
Perhaps because we v ad-
mitted the possibility Of failure. it
never crossed our minds. During
the long, tiresome montns OF plan
ming and trainig, we prepared an
invasion with the certainty that 1t
would crack the Atlantic wall. We
never talked of anything but JUG
cess. There were no defeatlsts. no
doubters in our camp. If a man
had suggested that he was less
than completely convinced OF his
ability to do the job, l would have
gotten rid of him and sent him
home. We wanted men who were
sure of themselves, sure of their
ability, sure of u troops. We
wanted troops who we're sure OF
their training, sure OF the plan'
sure of their ability to make 1t
work.
Today it seems strange that in
an operation as risky as a cross
Channel Invasion, We could keep
that confidence in success-Wnlle
in an Undertaking as full of prom
Use as peace should be, we sur
render so easily to our doubts ana
fears.
And it seems strange that a
soldier could face the ordeal OF
invasion with certainty in his abll-
itv to smash the Atlantic Wall and
now as a veteran finds himself
forced to confess uncertainty N
his ability to find a secure job.
l wonder if the people OF the
world-and if Americans in par
| ticular-are not badly in need of
| stronger faith in themselves. l
wonder if those who talk so gllbly
of another and inevitable war are
not tragically in need of trust N
the ability of nations to achieve
a realistic peace
And l wonder if those ~defeatists
who warn us that another depres-
sion is on the way, those doubterS
who tell us that America lacks
the resources. the unity, the
| strength 10 create prosperity in
peace as well as in war, are not
terribly in need of faith in the
people Of this nation.
For sometimes 1 am afraid the
| doubters have taken hold, that We
are sailing into this post war

In the drafty, metallic war room
that had been improvised en- the
after deck of the cruiser Augusta,
the Gagged lights shivered under
the conclusion of our naval guns.
It was cold that morning-June 6,
1944-and the blackout tarp over
the thin steel door to the deck
closeted the oily smell OF u i'm
pregnated CT clothes.
There were seven OF us from the
Army: Bill Kean, my chief of staff,
and a handful of principal plan
