Dwight D. Eisenhower

President of the United States 1953-61. Born in Texas.

1915 graduated from West Point
1916 married Mamie Geneva Doud
1935 U.S. Military mission to the Philippines
1942 Commander, Allied Forces, North Africa

1944 Commander, Allied Invasion of Normandy
1948 President, Columbia University
1950 First Military Commander, NATO
1952 Elected President of the United States
1956 Re-elected President

Both Norfolk House in St James's Square and the Bushy Park site of the European HQ of the US Army Air Forces claim to be the place where Eisenhower planned the WW2 Normandy landings and Operation Overlord.   We believe the planning for the Normandy landings was started at Norfolk House and then moved to Bushy Park.
