Why Marshall Removed 600 Officers Before America Fired a Single Shot

On the first day of September 1939, the very same morning when German tanks began rolling across the Polish frontier, a fifty-eight-year-old brigadier general named George Catlett Marshall entered the War Department building in Washington and took an oath that would fundamentally alter the trajectory of history. He deliberately wore a white civilian suit that day, intentionally avoiding military uniform so he wouldn't appear eager for the war that had just erupted across Europe. At half past ten that morning, inside Secretary of War Harry Woodring's office, Marshall was officially sworn in as Chief of Staff of the United States Army and simultaneously promoted to the rank of full general. He had received word about the German invasion at three-fifty that morning. By the time he formally took his oath, Warsaw was already experiencing bombardment from German forces. 💬 If you have stories about World War II or your ancestors shared them with you, share them below. 🔔 Follow to see more real moments where respect is shown through actions, not words. #WW2 #Patton #MilitaryHistory #Hitler #ThirdArmy #WorldWar2 #History #GeneralPatton #Wehrmacht #HistoricalDocumentary
