Show Invasion Secret Kept One of the interesting revelations revela-tions of Winston Churchill's re-I re-I cent address to the House of Com-t Com-t mons was a statement that in ; April, 1943, the British and A-! A-! merican Planning Staff planned the invasion of France, selecting select-ing the beaches for attack and presenting the main operations of the scheme. i M.'. Churchill carried the plan to Quebec, where it was studied by President Roosevelt and the combined British and American chiefs of staff, and approved. j The secret was entrusted to "scores and very soon to hundreds hun-dreds and ultimately to thousands thou-sands of people" but it never leaked out either in the United States or in Great Britain. In the words of the British Prime Minister, this was "rather ; remarkable" and reflects credit upon the Anglo-American team. |
