"10,000 Allied Soldiers Died"

He'd prepared a "Failure Message" which, of course, was Never delivered ...
"Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops.

If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."
It is chilling to contemplate how World Events might've played out had the Supreme Commander, European Theater Of Operations been forced to deliver That message.
