How George Marshall's 1939 “Paper Pusher” Purge Made America’s Army Crush WWII

#WorldWarTwo #WW2 #WarStories General George Marshall stood before a list of 600 names—every senior officer in the U.S. Army. It was 1939, and America's military was a disaster. The same colonels who'd fought in the Spanish-American War were still commanding regiments. Promotion took 23 years on average. The entire Army ranked 17th in the world, smaller than Romania's. But Marshall had just been handed something no Army Chief of Staff had ever received: total authority from President Roosevelt to fix it. What he did next was unprecedented and brutal—he fired nearly half the Army's senior leadership in less than two years. This is the untold World War 2 story of how one man's ruthless "purge" transformed America's broken military into the force that would crush Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Marshall promoted unknown captains to general, bypassed 150 senior officers to elevate Eisenhower, and destroyed the careers of West Point legends who couldn't adapt to modern warfare. Officers who'd spent 30 years climbing the ranks were forced into retirement overnight. The old guard called it a witch hunt. History would call it genius. This WW2 documentary reveals how Marshall's controversial 1939 decisions—firing paper-pushers and promoting warriors—built the military leadership that won World War II before America even entered the war.
