Days of Might: The Bet Is Called
People of Western Europe! A landing was made this morning on the coast of France by troops of the Allied Expeditionary Force.… Citizens of France! I am proud to have again under my command the gallant forces of France. Fighting beside their Allies, they will play a worthy role in the liberation of their homeland.
