- What do you mean?

Demand the Supreme Command

in the West.

Hand Hitler an ultimatum. He needs you.

You are loved.

Do I need to force him?

If you want to prevent the invasion.

You do not know the Fuhrer.

That would be counterproductive.

If you resign, the people will also

understand that the war is lost.

It's better to stay silent Speidel.

I just want to be Chief of Staff.

Here.

- They generously allow us to live here.

- You mean frivolously.

Rest assured the French nobility fears

the Bolsheviks more than us.

The Count worships the Fuhrer.

That young man there is her son.

The same age as my Manfred.

My son is in the Air Force in Ulm.

He came up with the idea

to join the Waffen-SS.

I forbid him.

Now you may ask why,

but you know,

I've heard horrible stories...

of mass executions.

About the massacre of the Jews

in the occupied territories.

You've been on the Eastern Front.

Can you confirm that?

The Jews are still being

deported in France.

The SS are allowed to search for all

the Jewish children in institutions.

How do you know?

There are people who do not like it

at the military administration in Paris.

Now, Now, come on, boy. That is the kind of

news you need to get use to as a soldier.

Our Manfred cried too

when he was photographed.

Come Stulpnagel. Did I come here

to soothe children?

No, Field Marshal.

A Mansion near Paris - May 14th, 1944

In this extreme case, we have to

remove Hitler by force.

What do you mean by force?

Arrest and prosecute him

for the crimes he has committed ...

in the name of the German people.

That would be military coup,

Herr Stulpnagel.

Do you think there's a General

willing to do such a thing?

There is already a group formed of

prominent men at our disposal .

There are already plans for a coup.

Some who are willing to give their lives

to liberate us from Hitler.

Give their lives?

- You are referring to an attack?

- In an extreme case.

You knew about this?

Only Berlin knows the details.

- What you're asking of me is treason.

- Hitler has betrayed Germany.

If we do not make peace with the

British and Americans ...

Russians will be in Berlin in the Fall.

Don't forget that you've sworn an oath.

Now, it will get back to the Fuhrer.

How long have you known

about these plans?

For some time.

You know what is required of me

as a obedient soldier?

Do what you have to do.

Damn.

Give it here.

It can be repaired.

France, the Channel Coast - May 20th, 1944

Go!

Watch out! They're coming,

they're coming. It begins.

Missed! Damn.

Speidel, what's going on?

Have the English landed?

- A British raid has been averted near Calais.

- On the Channel coast?
