List of items The was published by the Federal Register Division National Archives and Records Service General Services Administration. From Wikipedia: "The Public Papers of the Presidents contain the papers and speeches of the Presidents of the United States that were issued by the Office of the Press Secretary. The series constitutes a special edition of the Federal Register. The Public Papers of the Presidents series was begun in 1957 in response to a recommendation of the National Historical Publications Commission. An extensive compilation of messages and papers of the Presidents covering the period 1789 to 1897 was assembled by James D. Richardson and published under congressional authority between 1896 and 1899. Since then various private compilations have been issued but there was no uniform publication comparable to the Congressional Record or the United States Supreme Court Reports. Many Presidential papers could be found only in the form of mimeographed White House releases or as reported in the press. The Commission therefore recommended the establishment of an official series in which Presidential writings addresses and remarks of a public nature could be made available. The Commission s recommendation was incorporated in regulations of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register issued under section 6 of the Federal Register Act 44 U.S.C. 1506 which may be found in title 1 part 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations." The Public Papers series is compiled and published by the Office of the Federal Register National Archives and Records Administration. Each volume generally covers a 6-month period of a given administration and presents content in chronological order with headings providing the dates of the documents or events. In instances when the release date differs from the date of the document itself the date of public release is shown in the textnote. Remarks are checked against an audio recording if available or read aloud against official transcripts if no audio source is available and issued documents are checked against the original with exacting attention paid to preserving the integrity of the signed document. Textnotes and cross references are provided by the editors for purposes of identification or clarity usually of notable people referred to by the President or others participating in an event. Speeches are assumed to have been delivered in Washington DC unless otherwise indicated in the item heading. The times noted are assumed to be local times. All materials printed in full text in the book are indexed in the subject and name indexes and listed in the document categories list. With few exceptions deceased people are not indexed by name. The notes are intended for the general reader and specific criteria govern decisions about inclusion in or exclusion from the note with an eye toward keeping references standardized succinct and useful.

EISENHOWER, Dwight DBiblio.com

Report by the Supreme Commander to the Combined Chiefs of Staff on the Operations in Europe of the Allied Expeditionary Force 6 June 1944 to 8 May 1945.

1946Best.-Nr. 190508Washington DC: US Government Printing Office 1946. Presented to his "oldest and best friend" a key commander at D-Day First edition presentation copy specially bound for Leonard T. Gerow and inscribed by Eisenhower on the initial blank "To 'Gee' one of the outstanding battle leaders of World War II with the admiration and gratitude of his old friend Ike". Gerow 1888-1972 was in command of the V Corps at Omaha Beach on D-Day and became the first American general to enter Paris after its liberation in 1944. "Gerow was his oldest and best friend in the theater and V Corps headquarters would provide a haven in moments of anxiety more than once" Eisenhower p. 176. The careers of the two men were closely intertwined. "Eisenhower and Gerow were opposites. Gerow trim and meticulous was a chronic worrier. Eisenhower hale and robust had a gregarious and confident manner. But the two men shared similar thinking and tastes and had similar prewar professional reputations as staff officers. In the summer of 1916 Eisenhower and Gerow had first served together in the 19th Regiment based at San Antonio. In 1926 they had been classmates at the Leavenworth Command and General Staff School. They had formed a two-man study group in Eisenhower's tiny attic" Eisenhower pp. 176-7. It was Gerow that introduced Eisenhower to his future wife Mamie. Gerow originally headed the War Plans Division until the role was reassigned to Eisenhower due to Gerow's failure to foresee Pearl Harbour. Eisenhower was gracious to Gerow acknowledging it was only fortune that led to his taking the position; afterwards Eisenhower's career was to inevitably eclipse that of his old friend but Gerow still rose to a highly respected position eventually leading the Fifteenth and Second Armies. The book prints Eisenhower's official report of his role leading the Allied liberation of western Europe and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Eisenhower had copies bound for presentation to close family and military leaders the Eisenhower library have his brother's copy in the same binding; we could trace no other example on the market. Folio. With 11 colour maps of European battle theatres. Original black morocco front cover lettered in gilt silk endpapers. Housed in a custom black cloth solander box. Spine and front inner hinge neatly repaired light rubbing and wear at extremities. A very good copy. David Eisenhower Eisenhower at War 1986. hardcover

Operation Overlord was the codename for the Battle of Normandy the Allied operation that launched the successful invasion of German-occupied Western Europe during World War II. The operation was launched on 6 June 1944 with the Normandy landings. A 1200-plane airborne assault preceded an amphibious assault involving more than 5000 vessels. Nearly 160000 troops crossed the English Channel on 6 June and more than two million Allied troops were in France by the end of August. The Falaise Pocket or Battle of the Falaise Pocket German: Kessel von Falaise; 1221 August 1944 was the decisive engagement of the Battle of Normandy in the Second World War. A pocket was formed around Falaise Calvados in which the German Army Group B with the 7th Army and the Fifth Panzer Army formerly Panzergruppe West were encircled by the Western Allies. The battle is also referred to as the Battle of the Falaise Gap after the corridor which the Germans sought to maintain to allow their escape. The battle resulted in the destruction of most of Army Group B west of the Seine which opened the way to Paris and the Franco-German border for the Allied armies on the Western Front. The Battle of the Bulge also known as the Ardennes Counteroffensive was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front during World War II and took place from 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945. It was launched through the densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia in eastern Belgium northeast France and Luxembourg towards the end of the war in Europe. The offensive was intended to stop Allied use of the Belgian port of Antwerp and to split the Allied lines allowing the Germans to encircle and destroy four Allied armies and force the Western Allies to negotiate a peace treaty in the Axis powers' favor.
