The Elbe River, April 25th, 1945. Two young lieutenants — one American, one Soviet — meet on a shattered bridge and shake hands. Germany has been cut in two. The war in Europe is effectively over. The American soldiers on that bridge belong to the First United States Army. Now try to name the general who commands them. Almost nobody can. His name is Courtney Hicks Hodges. He is the only man in the American Army to rise from private to four-star general and command the largest fighting force in Europe. From the grocery store floor in Perry, Georgia, where a West Point reject swept floors after failing geometry, to the competitive examination that earned him a commission, to twenty hours of ceaseless struggle across the Meuse in 1918 that won him the Distinguished Service Cross, Hodges simply did the work. He gave exactly one press conference in three hundred and thirty-seven days of continuous combat. While Patton performed for the cameras and Bradley cultivated the press, Hodges fought the war and went home. This is the story of the quietest general in the European Theater — and why history nearly forgot him. 00:00 – The broken bridge on the Elbe 08:00 – West Point reject and the grocery store 16:00 – The competitive exam and the commission 28:00 – Twenty hours on the Meuse 42:00 – First Army from Omaha Beach to Torgau If your father or grandfather served in the First Army — in the 1st, 4th, 9th, 28th, 29th, or any of the eighteen divisions under Hodges — leave his name and one memory in the comments.
