Read the following passage.

Since the outbreak of war, Stalin was demanding an all-out effort to liberate France from German occupation. An invasion force greater than any in the history of the world was slowly amassing in southern Britain toward that end. Just after midnight on June 6, three airborne divisions parachuted behind enemy lines to disrupt paths of communications. As the German lookout sentries scanned the English Channel at daybreak, they saw the largest armada ever assembled in history heading toward the French shore. There were five points of attack. . . . Still, by nightfall a beachhead had been established. Eventually, German troops retreated.

Which American leader was responsible for leading the attack described in the passage?

George Patton
Harry S. Truman
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Dwight D. Eisenhower
