Patton and Rommel: The Missing Generals of D-Day lecture

Did you know two of the most important men of D-Day… weren’t even there? Dr. Kim Holien returns with another fascinating behind-the-scenes look at D-Day. Dr. Kim Bernard Holien was a professional historian with the U.S. Army for 34 years, receiving commendations from the late John Marsh, Secretary of the Army, and President Ronald Reagan. He is the recipient of the 2008 Joseph L. Harsh History Award from the Northern Virginia Association of Historians and the co-recipient of the 2016 T. Michael Miller Alexandria History Award from the Alexandria Historical Society. His father served as an Army medical officer during the Second World War and took care of many D-Day wounded on their return to England, later serving on President Dwight Eisenhower’s Medical Staff.
This lecture was presented by the Alexandria-Caen Sister City Committee, part of the Office of Historic Alexandria, for their annual D-Day commemoration events.

Yeah and he tried blaming the British for their codes being broken in North Africa .
It was the American attachés incompetence that caused the intelligence leaks.
He was removed from North Africa soon after
