Eisenhower’s D-Day Decisions

Step into the shoes of General Dwight D. Eisenhower as he faces three critical decisions that could determine the success or failure of the D-Day invasion! In this interactive, graphic novel-style program, participants become the Supreme Allied Commander, examining the same information and challenges Eisenhower faced while planning one of the most daring military operations in history. At each turning point, participants must weigh the risks, consider their options, and make a decision. Will your choices lead to Allied victory on the beaches of Normandy—or result in disaster? Discover the extraordinary pressure of command and how Eisenhower’s decisions helped shape the course of World War II.
