Stay away from the perilous D-Day landing, William Donovan was warned in 1944. He ignored that order, however, hitting the Normandy beach in France alongside David Bruce, European head of the OSS.
Under heavy enemy fire, Donovan assured Bruce: "If we are about to be captured, I'll shoot you first. After all, I am your commanding officer." |
