...late July Lieut. General Omar Nelson Bradley briefed war correspondents and made them a promise. His pledge: give him three hours of good flying weather any forenoon and he would break out of Normandy.

Perhaps Lieut. General Omar Bradley's victory on the Cotentin peninsula last week was something more than the breaking of a stalemate.

By last week, Eisenhower's censors had also released the names of most of the top commanders in Lieut. General Omar Bradley's U.S. First Army.

("General Gee") Gerow, 1943 commander of U.S. ground forces in Britain, and the VII Corps, under crisp, enthusiastic Major General Joseph Lawton Collins, former commander of the 25th Division, which relieved...
