Clay, Director of Materiel speaks about the importance of steel in the production of US war materiel for World War 2.

We must depend on our home front, to exert its best effort, to collect the huge tonnage of scrap. The steel industry must have the scrap if our arms services are to obtain the high quality of steel needed for invasion. The collection of steel scrap is a vital part of our war supply program” Major General Lucius D. Clay says as he concludes his speech.

Interview with General Omar Bradley about Operation Cobra (WW2)

"The Big Picture” host Alexander Scourby interviews General Omar Bradley, the architect of Operation Cobra in Normandy during World War II. General Omar Bradley recounts his experience with handling Operation Cobra in Normandy. Omar Bradley attributes several factors for Operation Cobra’s success such as the aggressive and strong fighting spirit of the American troops, the teamwork displayed by the combat armies and air force, the alertness of subordinate commanders such as General Collins. On Martin Blumenson’s book, “Breakout and Pursuit”, General Omar Bradley says that reading the book sounds like “traveling down the road in the daylight than is the time you had taken it in the dark. It is generally familiar, which is always interesting to see the whole picture- part of which is hidden before”. General Omar Bradley gives a positive review on the historicity and veracity of “Breakout and Pursuit”. General Omar Bradley speaks about the value of military historians studying the events of World War 2. “Despite the fact that the weapons of war changes, the principle of war remain the same” said Omar Bradley. “War was a big thing in all our lives. We’ve been reading about the Revolution, the Civil War for a long time, to get a clear picture of ourselves as a nation. The Army is giving us the ability to do that now. The greatest war we have ever fought in our history” said General Bradley as he concludes the interview.
