On this day of commemorating D-Day, they just read out on the radio the message Eisenhower would have given had the invasion plan failed:
Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based on the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.
I listened to it and then wondered what AP's version would have been.
