Danish-born American general and auto industry legend presents documentary on D-Day
William S. Knudsen, Danish-born American general and auto industry legend, presents documentary on invasion of Normandy 1944.
From Wikipedia about Knudsen:
“William Signius Knudsen (March 25, 1879 - April 27, 1948) was a leading automotive industry executive and an American general during World War II. His experience and success as a key senior manager in the operations sides of Ford Motor Company and later General Motors led the Franklin Roosevelt Administration to directly commission him as a lieutenant general in the United States Army to help lead the United States' war materiel production efforts for World War II.”

Try to get a copy of his biography, written by Norman Beasley. "Freedom's Forge" draws heavily on it. (He's my hero too.)
