That is how it is.
Americans respect military uniforms.
I have to choose between "examinations"
and "fatigue".
Save me more!
This will all go very well.

The leadership of our allies destroyed.
Hopefully we'll get through.
Thank you.
Sir.
Good. Let's go, gentlemen.
Your Majesty, gentlemen.
This is our last discussion
the attack on the German
Occupying troops in the north of France.
We have only three days,
before the tides change
and thus hinder our ships from landing.
The risk is therefore high,
but when we get through,
we have great opportunities,
to win the war.
We are already very advanced,
but as usual I am for
any criticism of the plan open.
We must all work together,
to create it.
Mr. Prime Minister?
This will be the biggest ever
Militraktion of our allies.
Operation overlord
200,000 vehicles need,
a fleet of 7,000 ships,
Swarms of aircraft
and above all a quarter million men.
All this will be on
a place.
The German army

but as far as his risks are concerned,
he is foolish.
- Great God.

If overlord fails,
which can happen only too easily,
we will have a blow one

Who will then defend England?
Let us do nothing while the Nazis

No! I want us to do more!
We must divide the advance,
to spread the risk.
- No.
- Do not you see it?
We could be Hitler's
Armed forces into the Aegean Sea,

Coast of France.
The plans for the D-Day
exist for over a month.
For five years

to endure the hardships of the war.
They have their burden
with heroism.
But I have such
Beach landings already experienced.
In the first war.
The danger of a disaster is too great.
We must not hurry.
We have to think
and we need this
unripe plan correct,
before it ends in a tragedy.
Well, that sounds more like

Brooke, are you going with me?
Bastard.
- Why?
- Do not look so shocked
