Rommel Page #5

A British military officer was arrested.

He was handed over to the Gestapo.

- In Paris?

- You know the chain of command.

SS Headquarters in Paris - May 21st, 1944

They tried to blow up a coastal battery.

Good work, Lieutenant General.

We'll take him.

Rommel wants to talk to him.

You know the Command's order.

He must be executed ...

- after he talks.

- He hasn't talked yet.

Leave him here, then you will

know within 12 hours,

when and where the invasion occurs.

No doubt, but we have

our own methods.

I hope you tell me about

your methods someday.

I'd love to.

Take him away .

Watch out.

- Here is the British lieutenant.

- Take off his handcuffs.

How's my friend

Montgomery? Translate.

He understands you just fine.

- So the British now want to fight?

- This won't be like Africa.

That will be a skirmish in comparison

to what we can expect now.

Sit down.

Do you know, Lieutenant ...

we really have the same enemy?

And that is Russia.

- Why do not we fight side by side?

- That would difficult.

We Brits think that certain things

you Germans do is disgusting.

What do you mean?

The way you treat the Jews.

This is politics. As soldiers,

we have nothing to do with politics.

That your Fuhrer is exterminating

an entire people...

is just politics?

- We can change that.

- It's too late for that.

- Countess.

- What will happen to him?

He'll be sent to a camp

for British officers.

And what about the command order,

then?

- How did you know about that?

- One hears things.

Nothing will happen to him.

That I guarantee.

- Can you?

- Yes, I am the commander in chief here.

There are many commanders

in France.

And then there's the SS.

Countess, wait a minute.

Excuse me...

but can you get hold of

these here in Paris?

- It's my wife's birthday soon.

- You have good taste.

Your uncle hopes that we

can hold off the enemy.

And you?

- What about you?

- We are lost in any case.

Given our defenses,

the morale of our troops ...

the new armament and the weapons we have been given,

Normandy France - May 30th, 1944

we can wait calmly for

what is about to happen.

We have no doubt the

outcome will be successful.

And I do not believe that the English...

6 days before the invasion.

will attempt a second venture.

6 days before the invasion.

- Was it good?

- Excellent, Field Marshal.

- Very convincing.

- If you say so.

I heard that a British soldier

was captured in Calais.

Do you think the invasion will be there?

The place where you least expect it?

Then they'll come this way.

They'll go to church on Sunday, will set sail

on Monday ...

and will be here on

Tuesday in Normandy.

- Why do you say that?
