Here is a brief profile from 1940 of the man President Roosevelt preferred over 33 other generals of higher grade: General George C. Marshall (1880 - 1959):
"His most spectacular military feat occurred during the [First] World War, when, as operations chief of the First Army, he moved 500,000 men and 2,700 pieces of artillery from one battlefield to another without a hitch and without letting the enemy get wind of what he was doing."
