DZ Season 064 Part 29. End the War in 44 – Only Human – Bradley 14 – Saving General Bradley.

Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “Learn from the mistakes of others … You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself!”

It was almost a pity, which would have been of world altering consequences, that General Omar Bradley didn’t live by these words of wisdom. He chose instead to make the mistakes himself. The lesson that Bradley and Eisenhower should have learned was one of great note. One that both Bradley and Eisenhower had to have known about but, it seems, had simply dismissed.
