Almost immediately after France fell to the Nazis in 1940, the Allies planned a cross-Channel assault on the German occupying forces.
1940 年法国落入纳粹手中后，盟军几乎立即计划对德国占领军发动跨海峡进攻。
At the Quebec Conference in August 1943, Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt reaffirmed the plan, which was code-named Overlord.
在1943年8月的魁北克会议上，温斯顿·丘吉尔和富兰克林·罗斯福重申了这一计划，该计划的代号为“霸王”。
Although Churchill acceded begrudgingly to the operation, historians note that the British still harbored persistent doubts about whether Overlord would succeed.

The decision to mount the invasion was cemented at the Tehran Conference held in November and December 1943.
1943 年 11 月和 12 月举行的德黑兰会议巩固了发动入侵的决定。
Joseph Stalin, on his first trip outside the Soviet Union since 1912, pressed Roosevelt and Churchill for details about the plan, particularly the identity of the supreme commander of Overlord.
约瑟夫·斯大林自 1912 年以来首次出访苏联，他向罗斯福和丘吉尔施压，要求提供有关该计划的细节，特别是“霸主”号最高指挥官的身份。
Churchill and Roosevelt told Stalin that the invasion “would be possible” by August 1, 1944, but that no decision had yet been made to name a supreme commander.
丘吉尔和罗斯福告诉斯大林，到 1944 年 8 月 1 日入侵“是可能的”，但尚未做出任命最高指挥官的决定。
To this latter point, Stalin pointedly rejoined, “Then nothing will come of these operations.
对于后一点，斯大林尖锐地反驳道：“那么这些行动就不会产生任何结果。
Who carries the moral and technical responsibility for this operation?” Churchill and Roosevelt acknowledged the need to name the commander without further delay.

The largest armada in history, made up of more than 4,000 American, British, and Canadian ships, lay in wait.
由 4,000 多艘美国、英国和加拿大船只组成的历史上最大的无敌舰队正在等待。
More that 1,200 planes stood ready to deliver seasoned airborne troops behind enemy lines, to silence German ground resistance as best they could, and to dominate the skies of the impending battle theater.
超过 1,200 架飞机随时准备将经验丰富的空降部队运送到敌后，尽最大努力压制德军地面抵抗，并主宰即将到来的战区的天空。
Against a tense backdrop of uncertain weather forecasts, disagreements in strategy, and related timing dilemmas predicated on the need for optimal tidal conditions, Eisenhower decided before dawn on June 5 to proceed with Overlord.
在天气预报不确定、战略分歧以及需要最佳潮汐条件的相关时间困境等紧张背景下，艾森豪威尔于 6 月 5 日黎明前决定继续实施“霸王”行动。
Later that same afternoon, he scribbled a note intended for release, accepting responsibility for the decision to launch the invasion and full blame should the effort to create a beachhead on the Normandy coast fail.
当天下午晚些时候，他写下了一张准备发布的便条，承认自己对发动入侵的决定负有责任，并在诺曼底海岸建立滩头阵地的努力失败时承担全部责任。
Much more polished is his printed Order of the Day for June 6, 1944, which Eisenhower began drafting in February.
艾森豪威尔于 2 月份开始起草 1944 年 6 月 6 日印刷版的每日勋章，其精美程度要高得多。
