Watch this movie - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401504/
Ike: Countdown to DDay
It stars Tom Selleck and he is amazing in this. This goes through every major problem they faced. The immensity of the responsibility on Ike's shoulders. The political machinations all around him (They paint Charles De Gaulle as a real douche). The interplay between his generals and other commanders. The role of the weather. Most of the historical points are pulled from the memoirs of his Chief of Staff Beedle, which includes Ike writing a note for the press taking full responsibility for the DDay failure, written on the day of the landing. They show him writing it and handing it to Beedle near the end of the movie. Beedle's house keeper (I think) found it in his uniform decades later.
i don't know how many times I've watched this. It is a great movie and you'll learn a lot.
