Answer 3

You're asking the wrong question.

The question you want to ask is, "who was the commander of all allied forces in western Europe during world war 2?"

Eisenhower commanded the allied forces in western Europe.

Montgomery (among others) commanded the British Army in North Africa.

Patton (among others) commanded the American Army in North Africa.

Zhukov commanded the Russian army.

MacArthur commanded the allied forces in the Pacific.

Answer 4

There was no one man who commanded all allied forces during the war. Eisenhower was named Supreme Allied Commander in Dec 1943 and then named Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) until the end of the war. He commanded all Allied forces in the Western Europe Theater of Operations. Josef Stalin was nominal head of Russian forces and Douglas MacArthur and Chester Nimitz were Supreme Commanders in the Pacific Theater of Operations, MacArthur in the Southwest Pacific, Nimitz in the Central Pacific.

Answer 5

Eisenhower was commander in Europe. President Roosevelt was the Commander in Chief. Gen. George Marshall was head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Answer 6

There was no overall commander. Eisenhower was only the commander for the invasion and operations in Western Europe.
The Soviet Union had their own commanders and the war in the Pacific had other commanders

Answer 7

i comprehend that Albanian Muslims did lots and saved exceedingly much their finished Jewish inhabitants from the Nazis. different than that... Denmark replaced into staggering, yet i think you do no longer propose this u . s . a . by using fact it replaced into no longer an 'enemy' of the Jews. edit... hmmmmm..... nicely, you relatively have me intrigued now! The worldwide places that I continuously heard had a bad history of anti semitism have been Poland, Austria, and France. So i will wager....Poland? (Or Austria?!) Hopeless, thank you very lots for those hyperlinks. i chanced on that so exciting. particular, it does look that this prepare is illustrating to Iranian human beings some issues that we Jews experienced. the only destructive element is the place there's a branch between Israel, and Jews, by using fact of direction Israel is the Jewish state. yet ordinary, the programme seems having a favorable result, and something which could foster extra effectual family is robust. :) So, is the answer to the question in actuality Iran?

Answer 8

For everybody everywhere, there was no one person. When Ike had overall command for Operation Torch and later Operation Overlord and following, he had overall command of the forces involved, but he was answering to George Marshall in his own chain of command, and there were other theater commanders of roughly equal level across the globe.

Answer 9

the last poster, Bob Mc gets it right.......while Ike was Supreme Commander Allied Forces Europe that only meant in Western Europe; he commanded the Brits Americans Canadians and French.......the Russians were run by Russians, head guy was Zhukov

and in the Pacific, the theater was split in two....Supreme Allied Commander SouthWest Pacific was MacArthur, commanding American Brit and Australian forces in the defense of Australia and the conquest of New Guinea and the liberation of the Philippines; the rest of the Pacific was run by Chester Nimitz and covered Guadalcanal, Midway, Guam, Saipan, Iwo Jima, Okinawa ...back in Washington, Admirals William Leary and Ernest King and General George C Marshall were the Joint Chiefs, nominally superior to Mac, Nimitz and Ike but they wisely kept their distance and let one great General.....Mac......one fair general and good politician...Ike... and one brilliant Admiral.....Nimitz, with Halsey and Spruance as his fighting admirals.......run the show

Answer 10

Like Rollo said Ike was Supreme commander in the European Theater of Operations, and it was Macarthur in the Pacific.
