The politics of WWII in the European and African theaters was something else with all the countries involved. Day one the French were shooting at us in Africa, and day 2 we're on the same side. Everyone wanted credit for the successes, but few wanted to take on the risks. Eisenhower had some serious A-type personalities to deal with. I cannot imagine the stress and frustrations he had to handle even among our own troops.
