General Dwight D. Eisenhower's Order of the Day for the D-Day invasion, issued on June 5, 1944, was a motivational message to Allied forces embarking on the "Great Crusade" to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny. The order acknowledged the difficulty of the task and the strength of the German military but expressed full confidence in the troops, stating that nothing less than "full victory" would be accepted. The message emphasized the significance of the operation for oppressed peoples and the importance of courage and duty in achieving this "noble undertaking".
