Prime Minister to Sir Alan Lascelles 4 Mar 44

You should see the Home Secretary’s minute about a national day of prayer for “Overlord”. I think there are serious dangers in drawing attention to the coming shock in this way, especially as no one can know when it is going to be. We have to be very much on our guard against unduly depressing the troops.*

* See minute of February 22.
