In 1943, during the campaign in North Africa, Bradley made his mark while in command of II Corps, which he then led into Sicily. Selected to command First Army for the Normandy landings in June 1944, he held the initially precarious right flank of the OVERLORD beachhead. On 1 August 1944 he was given command of the massive Twelfth Army Group which he took across France and into Germany, meeting up with Soviet forces on the Elbe.
Gen. Omar Bradley was Ground Commander of all US forces in Europe after the D-Day landings.
