The Algiers radio tonight broadcast a special “get ready” warning to occupied countries from what it described as “the Allied High Command, London.” The message said:
“It is time .for you to prepare all your actions and perfect all your preparations. All elements ready to contribute to the success of eventual operations on French metropolitan territory mu’st be fully equipped for their tasks. Every one of you must ask yourself what you can possibly do on the day when you hear the call of the Inter-Allied High Command. We urge you to perfect all your preparations most speedily, but with the greatest care. The people of the occupied country which will be chosen to be the first to welcome the Allies will be notified at the last minute. In the past you have heard similar messages from Allied Headquarters. You have just heard one of the greatest importance.” General Eisenhower stated in Algiers: “We are ready to go at any minute.”
