Bernard Montgomery document signed outlining the D-Day orders that he issued in April 1943. Sourvenir document is signed ''Montgomery of Alamein F.M.'' The British officer controlled Allied land operations in WWII. This is his 5-point plan for D-Day, with highlights reading in part: ''...It was during April that I issued the last tactical instruction to the two Armies which were to land in Normandy...In Operation OVERLORD an uncertain factor is the speed at which the enemy will be able to concentrate his mobile and armoured divisions against us for counter-attack. The best way to interfere with the enemy...will be to push forward fairly powerful armored-force thrusts on the afternoon of D-Day...The whole effect of such aggressive tactics would be to...cause alarm in the minds of the enemy. To be successful, such tactics must be adopted on D-Day; to wait till D-Day plus 1 would be to lose the opportunity...'' Runs 2pp. Measures approximately 8.5'' x 11''. Housed in grey cloth boards with gilt lettering. Fine.
