The Army newspaper Red Star published Eisenhower's picture, and described the American commander's "great success" in the North African invasion and his leadership in the Italian campaign before he was made supreme commander of the main Allied invasion forces. Fifty other American Army, Navy and Merchant Marine officers and men were decorated by the Russian government for outstanding conduct in the war against Germany.
