"'Andrew Higgins..'..Eisenhower said..'..is the man who won the war for
us.' My face must have shown the astonishment I felt at hearing such
a strong statement from such a source. Eisenhower went on to explain, 'If
Higgins had not designed and built those LCVPs, we never could have landed
over an open beach. The whole strategy of the war would have been
different.'"
