Southwick House is on a military base but we were able to gain access to see the war room where D-Day was planned and the Supreme Commander General Eisenhower gave the order on June 5th 1944 to execute operation overlord on June 6th. We learned that the next predicted open weather was predicted in mid-June and had Eisenhower waited it could have been catastrophic because one of the worst storms hit the Normandy coast line. Bruce’s picture was in the window thought to be where Eisenhower gave the go ahead.
