June 6, 1944 order of the day
- ... that Dwight D. Eisenhower's June 6, 1944 order of the day stated "we accept nothing less than full victory!"? The whole speech is quoted in Eisenhower, Dwight David (1970). Selected Speeches of Dwight David Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States: Selected from the Three Principal Periods of His Life: as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe During the War Years, as Supreme NATO Commander [and] as President. U.S. Government Printing Office. p. 2.
- ALT1:... that Dwight D. Eisenhower's reading of his June 6, 1944 order of the day has been compared to Clark Gable? Source: "His voice, reminiscent of the actor Clark Gable’s, marched briskly across the air as he snapped off each syllable like a crisp salute." from: Rives, Timothy. "General Dwight D. Eisenhower's D-Day radio address to the Allied Nations (June 6, 1944)" (PDF). Library of Congress. Retrieved 16 June 2020.

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I have no idea about the copyright status of the audio clip. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:10, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks Cwmhiraeth. The clip is a recording made by Eisenhower in his role as supreme commander and comes from the US Army Youtube channel. As such it is a work by a US Army employee in an official capacity and is public domain as a work of the US federal government - Dumelow (talk) 06:58, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
