troops. Which sentence indicates the occasion of the speech?
Soldiers, Sailors, and Alrmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forcel
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The
hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts,
you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and
security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy Is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 19441 Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great
defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the
ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great
reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
