Abstract: Abstract Thus did Montgomery describe D-Day. But success in Normandy was by no means foreordained. Brooke’s war diary for 5 June 1944 reads: I am very uneasy about the whole operation. At best it will fall so very very far short of the expectation of the bulk of the people, namely all those who know nothing of its difficulties. At worst it may well be the most ghastly disaster of the whole war. I wish to God it was safely over.2
