1
00:00:26,252 --> 00:00:31,632
London is calling.
From the French to the French.
2
00:00:34,177 --> 00:00:42,185
OCCUPIED FRANCE
THE FIFTH YEAR OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR
3
00:01:31,526 --> 00:01:35,404
Look at it!
4
00:01:35,571 --> 00:01:41,786
The pride of the Third Reich. He's coming
with coffee for the men.
5
00:01:41,953 --> 00:01:45,206
And they call themselves gentlemen.
6
00:01:45,373 --> 00:01:47,083
Damn it!
7
00:02:01,430 --> 00:02:07,311
FIELD MARSHAL VON RUNDSTEDT
Commander-in-Chief, OB west
8
00:02:22,201 --> 00:02:26,122
JANINE BOITARD
French Resistance, Caen
9
00:03:26,515 --> 00:03:31,312
ALEXANDRE RENAUD
Mayor of Sainte-Mère-Eglise
10
00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:34,690
Not even in the darkest hour -
11
00:03:34,857 --> 00:03:38,736
- and in the deepest night we despair.
12
00:03:38,903 --> 00:03:43,824
FATHER LOUIS ROULLAND
13
00:03:45,660 --> 00:03:49,956
Each one of us must
stand firm in your faith.
14
00:03:50,164 --> 00:03:52,667
Liberation will come.
15
00:03:56,295 --> 00:04:00,216
MAJOR WERNER PLUSKAT
352nd Coast Artillery Division
16
00:04:19,735 --> 00:04:23,281
I want mines and obstacles
along the entire coast.
17
00:04:23,447 --> 00:04:29,120
On every beach,
on every dune, on every cliff.
18
00:04:29,328 --> 00:04:34,083
- How many have been deployed so far?
- About four million, Field Marshal.
19
00:04:34,250 --> 00:04:36,627
FIELD MARSHAL ERWIN ROMMEL
Commander, Army Group B
20
00:04:36,794 --> 00:04:40,715
- I want six million!
- The men are exhausted.
21
00:04:40,881 --> 00:04:44,343
They don't even manage to hold exercises
or rest.
22
00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:51,434
Dear von Salruth, what do you guys think
prefer? To be tired or dead?
23
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,188
Look here, gentlemen.
So calm and peaceful it is.
24
00:04:56,355 --> 00:05:02,528
A narrow strait between England
and the continent...the allies and us.
25
00:05:02,737 --> 00:05:08,534
But beyond the peaceful horizon
there is a beast.
26
00:05:08,743 --> 00:05:12,705
Countless men, ships and planes -
27
00:05:12,872 --> 00:05:16,876
- which is waiting for
to be unleashed upon us.
28
00:05:17,043 --> 00:05:21,047
But no one shall be allowed to set foot here,
gentlemen.
29
00:05:21,255 --> 00:05:25,343
Not a single Allied soldier.
30
00:05:25,509 --> 00:05:31,265
No matter when and where
this invasion comes -
31
00:05:31,432 --> 00:05:35,853
- along this coastline,
shall we turn it back.
32
00:05:37,063 --> 00:05:38,606
Believe me, gentlemen.
33
00:05:38,814 --> 00:05:42,276
The first 24 hours
becomes absolutely decisive.
34
00:05:42,693 --> 00:05:46,489
For both Allies and Germans -
35
00:05:46,655 --> 00:05:50,826
- it will be the longest day.
The longest day.
36
00:06:15,309 --> 00:06:19,855
GENERAL GÜNTHER BLUMENT RIDE
The German headquarters in France
37
00:06:25,653 --> 00:06:28,489
The poem by Verlaine?
38
00:06:29,407 --> 00:06:33,202
Play it!
39
00:06:34,620 --> 00:06:39,041
COLONEL HELLMUTH MEYER
Chief of Intelligence, 15th Army
40
00:06:40,626 --> 00:06:43,838
London is calling.
From the French to the French.
41
00:06:45,047 --> 00:06:49,468
First some personal messages.
42
00:06:51,762 --> 00:06:55,933
"The long sobs
from autumn's violin."
43
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:57,143
I repeat:
44
00:06:57,351 --> 00:07:01,188
"The long sobs
from autumn's violin."
45
00:07:01,939 --> 00:07:05,359
Are all commands notified?
46
00:07:15,369 --> 00:07:18,873
If Berlin is right...
47
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:25,546
...invasion begins 24 hours after
that we have heard the second line.
48
00:07:25,713 --> 00:07:30,134
- Give me the second line.
- Verlaine!
49
00:07:43,647 --> 00:07:49,111
“Hurts my heart
with a monotonous apathy."
50
00:07:49,278 --> 00:07:54,325
We've intercepted hundreds
of messages in the past year.
51
00:07:54,492 --> 00:07:57,453
Each time I have increased my preparedness.
52
00:07:57,620 --> 00:08:01,624
Why should this poem by Verlaine
be something different?
53
00:08:01,832 --> 00:08:03,292
Tell me:
54
00:08:03,501 --> 00:08:08,297
Gives the poem some hint as to where
and when the disembarkation will take place?
55
00:08:08,464 --> 00:08:13,719
Of course not. I have half a million
man under my command.
56
00:08:13,928 --> 00:08:20,100
I can't maintain discipline
and morale in constant alertness.
57
00:08:20,267 --> 00:08:24,980
Just because a fool in Berlin
pick up a poem!
58
00:08:26,232 --> 00:08:29,985
No, Blumentritt.
No alarm preparedness.
59
00:08:30,945 --> 00:08:33,280
Especially not in this kind of weather.
60
00:08:34,615 --> 00:08:36,951
- Anything more?
- No, Field Marshal.
61
00:08:55,219 --> 00:08:56,720
Good morning, Field Marshal.
62
00:08:56,971 --> 00:08:58,847
- Anything new?
- Not much.
63
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:02,101
Pas-de-Calais was bombed yesterday.
64
00:09:02,268 --> 00:09:06,272
The storm prevented all business
last night.
65
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:12,736
The storm is what interests me.
It came suddenly, out of thin air.
66
00:09:12,903 --> 00:09:16,282
It broke my roses.
67
00:09:16,490 --> 00:09:23,372
Meter-high waves in the Channel,
winds of 50-60 meters per second.
68
00:09:23,539 --> 00:09:28,586
According to the Luftwaffe, it is the worst
the June storm in the Channel in 20 years.
69
00:09:28,752 --> 00:09:33,382
- Has Berchtesgaden confirmed the agreement?
- No, Field Marshal.
70
00:09:33,549 --> 00:09:38,804
General Jodl is in a meeting with the Leader.
We will be notified.
71
00:09:40,055 --> 00:09:46,312
- Are you going to Germany in that case?
- Can you find a better occasion?
72
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,317
This weather is expected to continue
for another week.
73
00:09:53,193 --> 00:10:00,951
ENGLAND
ONE OF 1108 ALLIED FORCES
74
00:10:40,115 --> 00:10:44,495
Up with the speed. Easy on the paws.
75
00:10:47,623 --> 00:10:52,419
- Shall we eat this butter again?
- I don't care what you do with it.
76
00:10:52,586 --> 00:10:58,092
Eat it or throw it away.
I get paid to make it.
77
00:11:00,135 --> 00:11:03,389
Up with the speed. Easy on the paws.
78
00:11:03,597 --> 00:11:09,311
- Haven't you slept?
- I haven't slept since we got here.
79
00:11:10,437 --> 00:11:13,357
I have guaranteed information.
80
00:11:13,524 --> 00:11:18,153
- It will be tonight. That's for sure.
- Yes, then...
81
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:23,867
I played dice yesterday with a guy
from the F company. He is ordinance...
82
00:11:24,034 --> 00:11:26,787
Come on!
83
00:11:29,623 --> 00:11:34,002
Hutchy! I want to ask you something.
84
00:11:34,169 --> 00:11:39,633
Hutchinson? Do you think I can write
home? If it is very important?
85
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:45,264
Hardly. The security, you know.
I don't think Churchill trusts us.
86
00:11:45,431 --> 00:11:49,643
- The wife will soon have a child.
- Is it your first?
87
00:11:49,810 --> 00:11:55,899
It's not mine. But I'm worried
for her. She's not that strong.
88
00:12:20,716 --> 00:12:24,261
What a stench!
89
00:12:24,428 --> 00:12:29,057
Diesel oil, clogged toilets,
vomit...
90
00:12:29,224 --> 00:12:34,354
And there is nowhere left
to throw up. The garbage bags are full.
91
00:12:34,521 --> 00:12:38,233
The fire buckets are full.
92
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,570
We only have our helmets left.
93
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:45,115
June...
94
00:12:47,618 --> 00:12:52,206
Every year in June the gammern used to
to take me on a camping trip.
95
00:12:53,874 --> 00:12:57,419
Up in the Blue Mountains.
96
00:12:57,586 --> 00:13:02,216
We hunted and fished all day.
97
00:13:02,382 --> 00:13:05,135
And at night...
98
00:13:05,302 --> 00:13:08,472
...we slept under the stars.
99
00:13:10,557 --> 00:13:13,894
We didn't even need a wool blanket.
100
00:13:17,439 --> 00:13:18,982
June...
101
00:13:24,112 --> 00:13:28,492
Wind and rain, wind and rain...
Will it never end?
102
00:13:28,659 --> 00:13:31,620
I just want to get away.
103
00:13:31,787 --> 00:13:37,251
It can blow as much as it wants. If we saw
lands in Paris, on the Eiffel Tower…
104
00:13:37,417 --> 00:13:41,004
The colonel wants to talk to us.
All together.
105
00:13:49,054 --> 00:13:54,309
COLONEL BENJAMIN VANDERVOORT
US 82nd Airborne Division
106
00:13:54,476 --> 00:13:58,730
After the review, everyone must participate
in ground tactics and deployment.
107
00:13:58,897 --> 00:14:01,859
In this weather, sir?
108
00:14:02,025 --> 00:14:09,449
Well, Harding, if you can guarantee
sun when we land in France...
109
00:14:09,616 --> 00:14:14,162
It's not the weather. That's the wait.
The men are eager to go out.
110
00:14:14,371 --> 00:14:20,419
I hardly need to remind you
that the war has been going on for almost five years.
111
00:14:20,586 --> 00:14:25,841
Over half of Europe is occupied.
We are newcomers to the relationship.
112
00:14:26,008 --> 00:14:30,429
England have gone through the blitz
with the knife at the throat since 1940.
113
00:14:30,596 --> 00:14:35,017
They are probably also impatient
and eager to get out.
114
00:14:35,183 --> 00:14:38,604
- Is it understood?
- Yes, sir.
115
00:14:38,770 --> 00:14:42,524
There are three million men
on this island.
116
00:14:42,691 --> 00:14:46,695
All over England it is
layouts like this one.
117
00:14:46,862 --> 00:14:50,866
We stand on the threshold
to the most important day of our time.
118
00:14:51,033 --> 00:14:55,245
Three million men are out there.
Tense.
119
00:14:55,412 --> 00:14:59,458
They are just waiting for the big step.
120
00:15:00,918 --> 00:15:04,463
We are not exactly alone.
121
00:15:04,630 --> 00:15:09,134
Tell the men.
Full unpacking and equipment, at 2 p.m.
122
00:15:09,843 --> 00:15:13,013
GENERAL NORMAN COTA
US 29th Division
123
00:15:13,347 --> 00:15:17,184
I prefer the life belt.
It is easier to move in.
124
00:15:17,351 --> 00:15:21,146
And you can get it off quickly.
125
00:15:21,313 --> 00:15:26,526
- Now?
- It will be tonight, as planned.
126
00:15:26,735 --> 00:15:29,279
- Unless the weather gets worse.
- Can it be?
127
00:15:29,446 --> 00:15:33,450
Ike has called a conference
at half past ten.
128
00:15:33,617 --> 00:15:38,872
I'm not Eisenhower, just
ass. division manager. I know nothing.
129
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:42,626
But he can't cancel it again.
130
00:15:45,545 --> 00:15:47,631
Turn off that radio.
131
00:15:47,798 --> 00:15:51,802
Four thousand ships await,
soldiers stand ready -
132
00:15:51,969 --> 00:15:57,391
- eleven thousand planes are on the starting line,
18,000 paratroopers...
133
00:15:57,557 --> 00:16:00,352
Standard! Relax.
134
00:16:01,812 --> 00:16:07,401
- According to the RAF, the wind can stop suddenly.
- They said that yesterday and the day before yesterday too.
135
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:10,153
Norm.
136
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:16,201
We are all equally committed to this
like you. Just as eager to get out.
137
00:16:16,368 --> 00:16:21,581
Ike too. If he cancels this
again, he knows what he's doing.
138
00:16:21,790 --> 00:16:27,254
Of course he does. I know that.
I'm just thinking about the stormtroopers.
139
00:16:27,421 --> 00:16:32,050
There are 200,000 in those ships,
and they are probably damned seasick.
140
00:16:32,217 --> 00:16:36,430
Some of them have been on board
in the bathtubs for almost three days.
141
00:16:36,596 --> 00:16:41,184
I think we should go out.
No matter what the weather is like.
142
00:16:47,899 --> 00:16:52,904
- Give me $50. I'm broke.
- I'm not doing so well myself!
143
00:17:01,246 --> 00:17:04,124
Can you lend me 50 dollars?
144
00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:11,256
- Can you lend me 20 dollars?
- Quit.
145
00:17:16,636 --> 00:17:19,598
Can I borrow ten dollars?
146
00:17:36,656 --> 00:17:39,618
Six! That's the way it should be!
147
00:17:39,785 --> 00:17:44,164
Seven pots in a row.
It's just not logical!
148
00:17:55,258 --> 00:17:57,928
Just wait a bit.
149
00:17:58,095 --> 00:18:01,932
- Use this one.
- You don't think that I...?
150
00:18:02,099 --> 00:18:07,771
I don't believe anything. I just want to
hear the sound of dice in a cup.
151
00:18:12,984 --> 00:18:17,197
Now show what you can do. Beat.
152
00:18:17,364 --> 00:18:21,785
- Seven! That's what I want!
- Who brought that cup to the game?
153
00:18:21,952 --> 00:18:25,038
Next man. Whose turn is it?
154
00:18:25,205 --> 00:18:30,168
He bets a hundred dollars.
Keep your bets in order.
155
00:18:31,545 --> 00:18:35,048
Do you have any letter for me? Schultz.
156
00:18:36,341 --> 00:18:39,886
There it is. Thanks, mate.
157
00:18:47,394 --> 00:18:53,233
- How much did you run them for?
- Not so much. Only $2,500.
158
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,902
2500?
159
00:18:56,069 --> 00:18:59,072
Two thousand five hundred?
160
00:18:59,239 --> 00:19:03,243
Too bad you had to win right now.
161
00:19:03,410 --> 00:19:07,205
What if we crash tonight?
What are you going to do with them?
162
00:19:07,372 --> 00:19:12,002
Five hundred I'll take to Paris,
for ladies and wine.
163
00:19:12,169 --> 00:19:17,424
I'll leave a thousand until I arrive
back. The rest I send to mother.
164
00:19:39,529 --> 00:19:44,743
Gosh. 2500... And then Paris.
But you've always been lucky.
165
00:19:44,910 --> 00:19:48,079
Do you remember that night at Fort Bragg?
166
00:19:49,539 --> 00:19:52,250
Yes, I do.
167
00:19:52,417 --> 00:19:58,924
I think I will also play a little.
Why not, what have I got to lose?
168
00:20:01,635 --> 00:20:03,720
Damn it.
169
00:20:04,971 --> 00:20:08,934
Why did he have to mention Fort Bragg?
170
00:20:10,143 --> 00:20:14,314
Of course I was lucky
when we played dice.
171
00:20:15,607 --> 00:20:19,152
The next day I broke my leg.
172
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:22,489
I was lying down for two months.
173
00:20:32,916 --> 00:20:36,836
Two thousand five hundred dollars.
174
00:20:38,546 --> 00:20:42,509
I've never had so much money before.
175
00:20:46,263 --> 00:20:49,599
But I know…
176
00:20:49,766 --> 00:20:52,519
...I just know...
177
00:21:04,197 --> 00:21:08,994
I wonder how long it will take
to lose $2,500.
178
00:21:12,330 --> 00:21:16,209
PILOT DAVID CAMPBELL
Fighter pilot in the RAF
179
00:21:20,672 --> 00:21:23,383
A beer, Ted.
180
00:21:30,682 --> 00:21:35,228
- Hey, Dave. Have you seen Johnny?
- Yes.
181
00:21:35,395 --> 00:21:37,564
Where is he?
182
00:21:39,399 --> 00:21:45,071
Say it, Dave. I must have my boots.
Johnny borrowed them.
183
00:21:45,238 --> 00:21:47,365
Where is he?
184
00:21:47,532 --> 00:21:52,329
At the bottom...of the Channel.
185
00:21:59,878 --> 00:22:04,257
Do you mean...that he has failed?
186
00:22:04,424 --> 00:22:06,926
Shot down over Calais.
187
00:22:07,135 --> 00:22:11,348
He jumped out,
but the parachute did not open.
188
00:22:19,272 --> 00:22:22,192
Then it's just you
of the squadron.
189
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,946
Of the old gang from 1940,
I mean.
190
00:22:27,155 --> 00:22:32,702
What worries me about being one
of the few, is that we are getting fewer and fewer.
191
00:22:34,287 --> 00:22:37,624
Yes...poor Johnny.
192
00:22:39,501 --> 00:22:42,420
Bad luck that it happened just now.
193
00:22:42,629 --> 00:22:47,133
He was in the Battle of Britain,
just like you!
194
00:22:47,342 --> 00:22:52,806
And the big show begins
tonight, so he can't join.
195
00:22:52,972 --> 00:22:57,977
- Can you shut up about him?
- Yes, of course, sorry.
196
00:22:58,144 --> 00:23:03,316
- Have you heard anything about last night?
- No, I haven't heard anything.
197
00:23:03,483 --> 00:23:07,153
- What are you talking about then?
- It's just...
198
00:23:07,362 --> 00:23:11,574
- Go ahead.
- I feel that it will be tonight.
199
00:23:11,741 --> 00:23:15,745
Emotions. Go somewhere else
with those feelings of yours.
200
00:23:15,912 --> 00:23:21,584
- I have a letter to write.
- I've had the feeling since this morning.
201
00:23:21,751 --> 00:23:27,006
I've been wearing it all day.
I can't shake it off.
202
00:23:27,173 --> 00:23:30,260
It will be tonight.
I know it will be.
203
00:23:30,427 --> 00:23:33,847
Well, it will be tonight.
It suits me well.
204
00:23:34,013 --> 00:23:37,434
Tonight, this afternoon, now!
205
00:23:38,685 --> 00:23:44,190
I mean...as soon as I have
drank this beer.
206
00:23:58,288 --> 00:24:01,833
- General? Do you have a moment?
- Of course.
207
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,670
- Shall it be a cup of coffee?
- No thanks.
208
00:24:05,837 --> 00:24:10,925
GENERAL JAMES GAVIN
US 82nd Airborne Division
209
00:24:16,639 --> 00:24:19,726
- Is it still raining?
- It's a thunderstorm.
210
00:24:19,934 --> 00:24:24,355
- Wondering which side God is on.
- What?
211
00:24:24,522 --> 00:24:28,735
Sometimes I wonder which side
God is on, I say!
212
00:24:28,902 --> 00:24:33,072
A good question.
What's on your mind, Van?
213
00:24:33,239 --> 00:24:37,494
I am concerned because of the location
of our drop zones.
214
00:24:37,660 --> 00:24:41,664
It's damn late
to come up with something like that now -
215
00:24:41,831 --> 00:24:47,086
- but you gave me
a hard nut to crack.
216
00:24:47,253 --> 00:24:52,217
Sainte-Mère-Eglise is located next to it
the only way into our north flank.
217
00:24:52,383 --> 00:24:54,928
It must be taken,
so the Germans don't come.
218
00:24:55,094 --> 00:24:58,556
And it must be kept.
219
00:24:58,723 --> 00:25:03,269
That's why I gave you that job,
Used to.
220
00:25:04,604 --> 00:25:07,732
Can I borrow a board?
221
00:25:11,486 --> 00:25:15,031
Here is the city, which is well fortified.
222
00:25:15,198 --> 00:25:18,576
Down here are the marshlands.
223
00:25:18,743 --> 00:25:22,956
In between is our drop zone.
224
00:25:23,122 --> 00:25:28,378
If we fly too short, we land in the marsh
and gets stuck.
225
00:25:28,545 --> 00:25:35,051
If we fly too far, we fall down
like clay pigeons in Sainte-Mère-Eglise!
226
00:25:35,218 --> 00:25:39,806
So we have trained on jumping from a low height
near the villages in the area.
227
00:25:40,014 --> 00:25:42,559
I have heard it.
228
00:25:43,810 --> 00:25:50,275
The municipal council in Bexhall has complained.
Some men supposedly landed in the city.
229
00:25:50,441 --> 00:25:56,447
- They scared the wits out of the population.
- That is true, sir. I was among them.
230
00:25:56,614 --> 00:26:01,744
A gust of wind swept us over the trees
and scattered us all over the city.
231
00:26:03,413 --> 00:26:09,252
- Where did you end up?
- In the courtyard of a nunnery.
232
00:26:09,419 --> 00:26:12,589
Now relax, Van. Sit down.
233
00:26:12,755 --> 00:26:17,176
The last few months have been hard
for all of us.
234
00:26:17,343 --> 00:26:24,267
I have heard that you drive yourself and
the battalion hard, almost without rest.
235
00:26:24,434 --> 00:26:30,940
Now that the time is almost here, you can
give yourself and the guys some slack?
236
00:26:31,107 --> 00:26:34,861
Sometimes a battalion can
drilled too hard.
237
00:26:35,069 --> 00:26:38,865
Sometimes that can also happen
with a commander.
238
00:26:42,827 --> 00:26:46,789
If there are further delays...
239
00:26:46,956 --> 00:26:50,543
...then I request to propose
new drop zones.
240
00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:55,965
Make it official and in writing.
That is your privilege.
241
00:26:56,132 --> 00:27:01,387
But I can tell you that Ike has called
to meet at Southwick House this evening.
242
00:27:01,554 --> 00:27:07,393
We should get the go-ahead around ten thirty.
The chance is greater than 50 percent.
243
00:27:07,602 --> 00:27:12,899
Forget everything I said. I have the division's
best battalion, and they are ready!
244
00:27:14,817 --> 00:27:20,073
CAPTAIN J.N. STAGE
RAF Meteorological Service
245
00:27:28,498 --> 00:27:31,626
Here is the latest report.
246
00:27:49,435 --> 00:27:52,772
- Southwick House, sir.
- Stay here.
247
00:27:52,939 --> 00:27:57,360
Yes, sir. The new front comes in
much faster than we thought.
248
00:27:57,568 --> 00:28:01,114
Yes, it definitely looks better.
249
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,450
I'm coming, sir. Half past ten.
250
00:28:09,872 --> 00:28:15,044
- Would you like more tea, sir?
- Coffee, and black. Thanks.
251
00:28:15,211 --> 00:28:18,005
One moment, Colonel.
252
00:28:18,172 --> 00:28:22,468
- He should be court-martialed.
- He has shot down 132 planes.
253
00:28:22,635 --> 00:28:26,139
GENERAL WOLFGANG HÄGER
Headquarters, Luftwaffe West Group
254
00:28:26,472 --> 00:28:29,475
Don't try your "dear Pips"!
255
00:28:29,642 --> 00:28:33,229
You were a lousy pilot, Hans.
256
00:28:33,396 --> 00:28:36,816
You are just as miserable behind a desk!
257
00:28:37,650 --> 00:28:39,986
What are you saying?
258
00:28:40,236 --> 00:28:44,699
I'm sitting on
the godforsaken airport in Lille.
259
00:28:44,866 --> 00:28:49,704
We only have two flights left.
Two damned planes!
260
00:28:50,997 --> 00:28:56,753
Yes, your order has been processed.
Søren knows where my three squadrons are.
261
00:28:56,919 --> 00:29:02,383
There is nothing left here!
What the hell are we going to do?!
262
00:29:02,550 --> 00:29:08,055
Now listen, my dear Pips.
We had to regroup!
263
00:29:08,222 --> 00:29:12,351
See what happened to
the airstrips around Pas-de-Calais.
264
00:29:12,518 --> 00:29:16,189
It's pure madness!
265
00:29:16,355 --> 00:29:19,942
We will not back down now!
266
00:29:20,151 --> 00:29:25,198
I know they are unlikely to invade us
in this weather.
267
00:29:25,364 --> 00:29:28,326
But what if they do anyway?
268
00:29:28,534 --> 00:29:32,705
But you know I can't come
there with my equipment before two days.
269
00:29:34,123 --> 00:29:36,709
You are completely crazy!
270
00:29:54,644 --> 00:29:57,230
Priller has always been hot-headed.
271
00:29:58,314 --> 00:30:04,821
Men vi må ikke undervurdere ham.
Det han sier, er ikke helt ulogisk.
272
00:30:04,987 --> 00:30:10,034
- Hva sier værmeldingen?
- Det er mer stabilt i Kanalen.
273
00:30:10,243 --> 00:30:13,996
I wonder if...
274
00:30:14,163 --> 00:30:17,959
- Når får vi den neste rapporten?
- Eight o'clock tonight.
275
00:30:19,168 --> 00:30:22,255
Gi meg den så snart den kommer.
276
00:30:22,463 --> 00:30:24,590
Bestilte du bord til middag?
277
00:30:24,799 --> 00:30:26,592
Yes, General.
278
00:30:26,884 --> 00:30:30,263
Cancel it.
279
00:30:42,942 --> 00:30:48,614
These are shoes for my wife.
De er spesialsydd i Paris.
280
00:30:48,781 --> 00:30:53,619
Hun har fødselsdag i morgen,
the sixth of June.
281
00:30:53,786 --> 00:30:57,707
- Hils Deres kone og gratuler henne.
- Thank you.
282
00:31:00,376 --> 00:31:06,340
Jeg fatter ikke hvorfor de ikke angrep
in May. The weather was perfect then.
283
00:31:06,507 --> 00:31:11,971
That would be fatal
if they chose to strike now.
284
00:31:12,138 --> 00:31:15,933
But I don't think so
that we need to worry.
285
00:31:30,239 --> 00:31:34,327
GENERAL ERICH MARCKS
Commander-in-Chief, 84th Army Corps
286
00:31:37,622 --> 00:31:41,375
- Is the plan ready, General?
- Yes.
287
00:31:41,542 --> 00:31:44,295
At least almost ready.
288
00:31:44,462 --> 00:31:47,214
War games.
289
00:31:47,381 --> 00:31:50,551
Theoretical invasions.
290
00:31:50,718 --> 00:31:53,262
We hurry to Rennes -
291
00:31:53,429 --> 00:31:58,059
- to move small flags on a table
along with other generals.
292
00:31:59,518 --> 00:32:02,855
Like little boys in a sandbox.
293
00:32:03,022 --> 00:32:07,443
Are you winning or losing, general?
294
00:32:07,610 --> 00:32:10,363
Have I ever lost?
295
00:32:12,657 --> 00:32:18,287
But this time it will
the general play Eisenhower's role.
296
00:32:18,454 --> 00:32:22,667
I win because I do
the unexpected, Schiller.
297
00:32:22,875 --> 00:32:28,089
We expect them to attack wood
Pas-de-Calais, when the weather is good.
298
00:32:28,255 --> 00:32:31,842
But it is too easy to reveal.
299
00:32:32,009 --> 00:32:38,099
I would choose the widest part of the canal
in bad weather to strike here.
300
00:32:38,265 --> 00:32:39,475
In Normandy.
301
00:32:39,892 --> 00:32:41,560
And in bad weather.
302
00:32:45,815 --> 00:32:49,193
Like now. Bad weather.
303
00:32:49,402 --> 00:32:53,531
It is difficult to see any trend.
304
00:32:53,698 --> 00:32:58,536
From a meteorological point of view
the weather is almost like midwinter.
305
00:32:58,703 --> 00:33:03,749
- And in Normandy?
- Lots of wind, clouds, fog over the beaches.
306
00:33:03,916 --> 00:33:08,129
But I can say with some certainty -
307
00:33:08,295 --> 00:33:13,426
- that we can wait a shorter period
with good weather.
308
00:33:13,592 --> 00:33:19,181
So they possibly promise us a card
period of usable conditions?
309
00:33:19,348 --> 00:33:21,892
Is that right?
310
00:33:22,059 --> 00:33:27,940
Conditions that lie far below
the minimum requirements?
311
00:33:28,107 --> 00:33:31,610
You have done your best, Stagg.
Thank you, gentlemen.
312
00:33:36,490 --> 00:33:40,244
Well, that's how it is.
313
00:33:40,453 --> 00:33:43,789
We have all postponed the attack once.
314
00:33:43,956 --> 00:33:48,794
Either we get started
under uncertain conditions -
315
00:33:48,961 --> 00:33:53,507
- or we postpone it again
hoping to get perfect conditions.
316
00:33:53,674 --> 00:33:57,970
- What do you think, Monty?
- I say we should strike now.
317
00:33:58,137 --> 00:34:02,558
I must remind you
that the American convoy -
318
00:34:02,725 --> 00:34:06,729
- to Omaha and Utah beaches,
the one who has the longest way to go -
319
00:34:06,896 --> 00:34:13,486
- must receive the order within half an hour
if the attack is to take place on the sixth.
320
00:34:16,697 --> 00:34:21,952
We can't keep a quarter of a million
man on ship in embarkation areas -
321
00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:24,455
- indefinitely.
322
00:34:24,622 --> 00:34:28,417
And the security risk increases
the longer we wait.
323
00:34:28,584 --> 00:34:33,631
Next time it's right
with the tide and the moon...
324
00:34:35,925 --> 00:34:39,261
...will be in July.
325
00:34:41,555 --> 00:34:44,683
Gentlemen.
326
00:34:44,850 --> 00:34:48,229
Being forced to wait so long…
327
00:34:48,395 --> 00:34:52,274
...is too bitter to contemplate.
328
00:34:52,441 --> 00:34:55,319
A brilliant plan.
329
00:34:55,528 --> 00:34:58,656
Unorthodox, but brilliant.
330
00:34:59,907 --> 00:35:04,078
Fortunately, it's just a game.
331
00:35:04,245 --> 00:35:08,249
We probably don't need to worry.
332
00:35:08,415 --> 00:35:13,045
Eisenhower never would
dare to take that risk.
333
00:35:13,212 --> 00:35:16,382
Never.
334
00:35:19,093 --> 00:35:24,306
I am completely convinced
that we must give that order.
335
00:35:24,473 --> 00:35:28,477
I don't like it, but that's how it is.
336
00:35:28,644 --> 00:35:34,650
Gentlemen. I can't see that we can
do anything other than initiate.
337
00:35:51,625 --> 00:35:53,711
Wilson.
338
00:35:53,878 --> 00:35:56,213
Yes, sir!
339
00:35:58,924 --> 00:36:03,512
Ike has made up his mind, sir.
It will be tonight!
340
00:36:17,484 --> 00:36:20,237
This is Colonel Tomson.
341
00:36:23,324 --> 00:36:25,409
Thanks.
342
00:36:29,622 --> 00:36:32,875
Next stop: Normandy.
343
00:36:34,168 --> 00:36:37,213
God help us now.
344
00:36:45,888 --> 00:36:50,434
LORD LOVAT
The British Special Command
345
00:36:54,188 --> 00:36:58,567
Gentlemen.
The day we've been waiting for has arrived.
346
00:36:58,734 --> 00:37:02,571
Invasion! Now we're leaving.
347
00:37:07,743 --> 00:37:08,869
General.
348
00:37:09,203 --> 00:37:10,663
GENERAL RAYMOND BARTON
US 4th Division
349
00:37:11,038 --> 00:37:14,667
The order is given. The time has come.
350
00:37:16,085 --> 00:37:20,464
Ask the battalion commanders to meet me
in the officer's mess.
351
00:37:30,057 --> 00:37:32,768
All right, Sergeant.
352
00:37:33,811 --> 00:37:37,356
You are the eyes of our airborne army.
353
00:37:37,523 --> 00:37:42,987
You pathfinders have one task,
and only one task:
354
00:37:43,195 --> 00:37:46,323
To illuminate the drop zones
for the paratroopers.
355
00:37:46,490 --> 00:37:52,746
You will be the first soldiers
which lands in France, and remember:
356
00:37:52,913 --> 00:37:58,210
When you come to Normandy,
You only have one friend.
357
00:37:58,377 --> 00:38:00,504
God.
358
00:38:02,589 --> 00:38:06,135
And this.
359
00:38:06,302 --> 00:38:09,888
This...
360
00:38:10,055 --> 00:38:12,808
...is Rupert.
361
00:38:12,975 --> 00:38:17,396
We're going to drop Rupert
and many more like him -
362
00:38:17,563 --> 00:38:20,524
- behind the invasion area.
363
00:38:21,984 --> 00:38:27,614
Rupert is a very special guy.
364
00:38:27,781 --> 00:38:32,828
He's kind of a one-man army.
365
00:38:32,995 --> 00:38:35,956
I will show you.
366
00:38:36,123 --> 00:38:42,421
I will show what happens when he
hits the ground. Turn off the lights, please.
367
00:38:50,554 --> 00:38:54,933
Thank you, Sergeant. Now calm down!
368
00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:57,644
Up with you!
369
00:39:00,981 --> 00:39:05,986
It is possible that Rupert and his brothers
has the same effect on the Germans.
370
00:39:06,153 --> 00:39:11,784
He can confuse them and maybe
make them attack in the wrong direction.
371
00:39:21,835 --> 00:39:24,546
Court!
372
00:39:24,713 --> 00:39:29,343
- The crickets have been distributed, sir.
- I heard it.
373
00:39:29,510 --> 00:39:33,055
Rest on the spot.
374
00:39:33,222 --> 00:39:37,476
You are so ready
as we can do you.
375
00:39:37,643 --> 00:39:42,898
You don't have this cheap toy
got for fun.
376
00:39:43,065 --> 00:39:48,529
It could save their life.
You will land in the dark.
377
00:39:48,695 --> 00:39:54,368
The guy on the other side of the hedge
may not have the same uniform.
378
00:39:54,535 --> 00:39:57,913
Then one click…
379
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:02,292
...must be answered with two clicks.
380
00:40:02,459 --> 00:40:08,757
If you don't hear that, you should throw
get down and open fire. I repeat:
381
00:40:08,924 --> 00:40:11,260
One click...
382
00:40:11,427 --> 00:40:14,596
...must be answered with two clicks.
383
00:40:14,763 --> 00:40:20,227
Do not throw away the gadget. It is the same
important as the weapon. Do you hear that?
384
00:40:20,394 --> 00:40:24,815
- Plain and simple, sir.
- One more thing.
385
00:40:24,982 --> 00:40:28,360
Their mission tonight is strategic.
386
00:40:28,527 --> 00:40:34,199
You must not give the enemy a chance.
Send him to hell.
387
00:40:39,413 --> 00:40:41,874
That was all.
388
00:40:49,006 --> 00:40:53,051
London is calling.
Here are some messages.
389
00:40:53,218 --> 00:40:57,931
ALPHONSE LENAUX
Mayor of Colleville-sur-Orne
390
00:40:58,891 --> 00:41:03,395
"Tomorrow the molasses will
give brandy.”
391
00:41:07,399 --> 00:41:10,402
"John had a long moustache."
392
00:41:10,569 --> 00:41:11,653
I repeat:
393
00:41:11,904 --> 00:41:14,781
"John had a long moustache."
394
00:41:15,657 --> 00:41:20,078
"John had a long moustache!"
395
00:41:27,419 --> 00:41:31,006
"John had a long moustache!"
396
00:41:34,009 --> 00:41:37,137
No, not that one. My God...
397
00:41:37,346 --> 00:41:40,933
"The Trojan War is not coming
to take place.”
398
00:41:41,099 --> 00:41:43,435
I repeat:
399
00:41:43,602 --> 00:41:48,440
"The Trojan War is not coming
to take place.”
400
00:41:48,607 --> 00:41:52,819
"The bracelet emphasizes your charm."
401
00:41:52,986 --> 00:41:55,531
I repeat:
402
00:41:55,697 --> 00:42:00,118
"The bracelet emphasizes your charm."
403
00:42:00,285 --> 00:42:03,664
"John had a long moustache."
404
00:42:33,485 --> 00:42:35,779
Do you understand any of that?
405
00:42:35,988 --> 00:42:40,158
There are code messages
to the resistance movement.
406
00:42:40,325 --> 00:42:44,746
Each of the messages certainly means something
for one of the different groups.
407
00:42:46,623 --> 00:42:52,004
"The travel agency is on fire."
408
00:42:52,254 --> 00:42:54,047
I repeat:
409
00:42:56,592 --> 00:43:01,179
"The travel agency is on fire."
410
00:43:02,514 --> 00:43:06,018
"Hurts my heart
with a monotonous apathy.”
411
00:43:06,184 --> 00:43:07,352
I repeat:
412
00:43:07,561 --> 00:43:11,690
"Hurts my heart
with a monotonous apathy.”
413
00:43:12,649 --> 00:43:15,611
"I love Siamese cats."
414
00:43:24,578 --> 00:43:27,914
The bridge in 45 minutes.
415
00:43:36,048 --> 00:43:39,092
We...will be back.
416
00:43:46,808 --> 00:43:50,437
"Hurts my heart
with a monotonous apathy.”
417
00:43:51,146 --> 00:43:52,564
I repeat:
418
00:43:52,731 --> 00:43:56,568
"Hurts my heart
with a monotonous apathy.”
419
00:43:59,279 --> 00:44:02,157
"The travel agency is on fire."
420
00:44:06,870 --> 00:44:11,375
GENERAL VON SALMUTH
Commander of the 15th Army
421
00:44:13,627 --> 00:44:16,213
Best hand of the evening.
422
00:44:16,463 --> 00:44:18,965
Now let's see…
423
00:44:22,844 --> 00:44:24,179
Excuse me.
424
00:44:25,055 --> 00:44:28,850
General von Salmuth. It has arrived.
425
00:44:29,017 --> 00:44:31,561
Give it to me.
426
00:44:31,728 --> 00:44:32,771
What has come?
427
00:44:33,021 --> 00:44:34,773
The second part of the message.
428
00:44:35,732 --> 00:44:37,442
The second line.
429
00:44:37,651 --> 00:44:40,362
“Hurts my heart
with a monotonous apathy."
430
00:44:41,738 --> 00:44:46,243
“Hurts my heart
with a monotonous apathy." General...
431
00:44:46,410 --> 00:44:51,373
We can expect invasion
within 24 hours!
432
00:44:51,540 --> 00:44:55,377
Put the 15th Army on alert.
433
00:44:56,378 --> 00:44:57,754
Thanks.
434
00:45:05,137 --> 00:45:10,767
Hoffmann. I'm too old in the game
to stir me up over such a thing.
435
00:45:10,934 --> 00:45:15,230
Where was I now..? Two spades.
436
00:45:42,174 --> 00:45:45,802
This is almost unbelievable.
437
00:45:45,969 --> 00:45:48,930
Each dot is a ship.
438
00:45:49,097 --> 00:45:56,104
Battleships, cruisers, destroyers,
and minesweepers of all types.
439
00:45:57,898 --> 00:46:00,442
The largest armada ever.
440
00:46:05,822 --> 00:46:07,908
Be so good.
441
00:46:09,993 --> 00:46:14,998
Remember that. Remember every single detail.
442
00:46:15,165 --> 00:46:21,046
We are facing a day that will be remembered
long after we are dead and buried.
443
00:46:32,098 --> 00:46:34,601
You know what?
444
00:46:34,768 --> 00:46:38,772
I get goosebumps just being there
part of it.
445
00:46:48,824 --> 00:46:54,621
Yes, you can call it a game
and quick war wedding.
446
00:46:54,788 --> 00:46:57,958
We met at the welfare dance.
447
00:46:58,124 --> 00:47:03,797
But I took it seriously. She too.
We didn't do it for fun.
448
00:47:03,964 --> 00:47:09,636
- When did you get the letter?
- One week ago. Two weeks ago.
449
00:47:09,803 --> 00:47:13,807
Maybe it was stupid
to write to her like that.
450
00:47:13,974 --> 00:47:17,561
She's a fashion model, and all that.
451
00:47:18,812 --> 00:47:22,983
But I'm not a guy
who marry so easily.
452
00:47:23,149 --> 00:47:26,319
To me it was not a joke.
453
00:47:30,073 --> 00:47:35,912
But hey, we really had
some lovely moments together.
454
00:47:36,079 --> 00:47:39,457
And you think she has another?
455
00:47:40,709 --> 00:47:44,254
She never said it outright.
456
00:47:44,421 --> 00:47:47,382
But I mean…
457
00:47:47,549 --> 00:47:52,596
Do you think I did the right thing?
Was I fair?
458
00:47:52,762 --> 00:47:57,392
She cannot divorce
without your permission, what?
459
00:47:57,559 --> 00:48:03,231
That's the law. It was adopted
for the sake of all weakened soldiers.
460
00:48:08,653 --> 00:48:13,033
I have to recover
back to the company.
461
00:48:15,952 --> 00:48:19,080
Good luck.
462
00:48:19,247 --> 00:48:21,791
In the same way.
463
00:48:31,593 --> 00:48:34,721
Who was that guy
you talked so long with?
464
00:48:37,015 --> 00:48:39,726
I don't know, Sparrow.
465
00:48:39,893 --> 00:48:43,104
I've never seen him before.
466
00:49:03,875 --> 00:49:09,965
Congratulations, General.
The entire staff congratulates you.
467
00:49:13,927 --> 00:49:15,095
Thanks.
468
00:49:17,847 --> 00:49:20,600
Would you like to cut the cake?
469
00:49:20,767 --> 00:49:25,188
You probably don't expect it
that I should eat it?
470
00:49:31,361 --> 00:49:34,990
TO GENERAL MARCKS AT
BIRTHDAY JUNE 6, 1944
471
00:49:49,754 --> 00:49:52,507
What does that mean there?
472
00:49:52,674 --> 00:49:58,346
Dust! It is a V - the victory sign.
Three dots and one dash.
473
00:49:58,513 --> 00:50:02,934
Have you never heard
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony?
474
00:50:25,373 --> 00:50:32,172
BRITISH GLIDER ATTACK AGAINST ORNE
AT 00.11
475
00:50:40,263 --> 00:50:45,268
- The time has come, Major Howard.
- Right! Get ready for landing!
476
00:50:45,435 --> 00:50:47,979
We're leaving now.
477
00:51:12,879 --> 00:51:14,798
MAJOR JOHN HOWARD
Britain's 6th Airborne Infantry
478
00:51:15,006 --> 00:51:18,134
Major Howard. I can't
overestimate the importance of their job.
479
00:51:18,510 --> 00:51:22,806
The bridge over the Orne must be taken
before the enemy destroys it.
480
00:51:22,972 --> 00:51:28,436
The bridge is strategically important,
and the enemy has mined it.
481
00:51:28,603 --> 00:51:33,024
You must surprise them
and capture the bridge intact.
482
00:51:33,191 --> 00:51:37,195
You land in the dark,
without ground support.
483
00:51:37,362 --> 00:51:39,864
You are to attack the garrison,
take it in -
484
00:51:40,073 --> 00:51:45,120
- and hold it until you are replaced.
Hold it until you are relieved.
485
00:51:45,286 --> 00:51:48,289
Major, now we come to the bridge!
486
00:51:49,916 --> 00:51:51,668
Just to the left.
487
00:52:01,052 --> 00:52:04,973
Hook your arms together and be ready.
488
00:52:27,912 --> 00:52:32,083
Up with your legs! Hold on tight!
489
00:53:37,774 --> 00:53:40,652
Smoke grenade!
490
00:53:41,736 --> 00:53:46,282
Come on guys! Come on!
491
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,003
Empty! Over the bridge!
492
00:54:23,069 --> 00:54:26,406
Look for explosive charges.
493
00:55:03,234 --> 00:55:06,779
Hello? Hello?
494
00:55:06,946 --> 00:55:09,282
Damn it!
495
00:55:09,449 --> 00:55:11,409
Hello?
496
00:55:27,091 --> 00:55:28,134
Sure.
497
00:55:43,691 --> 00:55:45,443
It worked!
498
00:55:45,902 --> 00:55:48,613
Hello!
499
00:55:52,450 --> 00:55:55,870
- Where is the doctor?
- On the third plane.
500
00:55:56,037 --> 00:55:58,915
Walsh!
501
00:55:59,082 --> 00:56:03,711
Tom Ruskin is dead. You must take over
his squad, across the bridge.
502
00:56:03,878 --> 00:56:08,925
- What have you come out for?
- It's broken, and the doctor isn't here.
503
00:56:09,092 --> 00:56:13,096
We plunged into the river, and many died.
504
00:56:13,262 --> 00:56:17,266
But me and the boys are fine.
505
00:56:17,433 --> 00:56:20,353
Come on!
506
00:56:41,791 --> 00:56:45,670
It was like... Hey, Doctor!
507
00:56:46,838 --> 00:56:50,007
What the hell are you doing on the Germans' side?
508
00:56:50,174 --> 00:56:53,344
Everyone can make a mistake.
509
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:08,734
Sir? All explosive charges have been removed.
It is free to go.
510
00:57:08,901 --> 00:57:11,237
Corporal Smith.
511
00:57:11,404 --> 00:57:16,492
Send the code that we have succeeded.
Continue until you receive a receipt.
512
00:57:16,659 --> 00:57:20,663
John? Create company headquarters
in that bunker.
513
00:57:24,834 --> 00:57:28,004
It took less than fifteen minutes.
514
00:57:31,048 --> 00:57:37,722
Now they will soon counterattack. It goes
hours before the paratroopers arrive.
515
00:57:37,889 --> 00:57:44,395
And Lovat's commandos
probably won't be here until dinnertime.
516
00:57:44,562 --> 00:57:47,732
The question is for how long
we can endure.
517
00:57:47,899 --> 00:57:53,196
Hold it until you are relieved.
Hold it until you are relieved...
518
00:57:58,367 --> 00:58:02,580
GENERAL MAX PURSEL
Chief of Staff, 7th Army
519
00:58:02,747 --> 00:58:04,749
It's raining again.
520
00:58:04,957 --> 00:58:06,209
Thanks.
521
00:58:06,918 --> 00:58:10,922
- Have you received the list?
- Yes, General.
522
00:58:12,757 --> 00:58:17,970
General Schlieben already has
left for the war game.
523
00:58:18,137 --> 00:58:21,098
The commander of the 243rd -
524
00:58:21,265 --> 00:58:24,894
- went to Rennes at 18.00.
525
00:58:25,061 --> 00:58:29,941
Just like Zimermann from 352.
In all there are twelve officers.
526
00:58:30,107 --> 00:58:32,610
I know that.
527
00:58:32,777 --> 00:58:37,031
The weather is so bad that they take
an extra night in Rennes.
528
00:58:38,282 --> 00:58:39,909
I don't like it.
529
00:58:40,117 --> 00:58:41,452
None of that.
530
00:58:41,661 --> 00:58:44,914
So many higher
officers are gone at the same time.
531
00:58:45,122 --> 00:58:47,291
I don't know why,
but i don't like it.
532
00:58:48,125 --> 00:58:51,462
The war game was planned
last week.
533
00:58:51,629 --> 00:58:56,300
It will be held tomorrow,
and not tonight!
534
00:58:57,510 --> 00:59:01,681
Tell all commanders
who has not yet gone to Rennes -
535
00:59:01,847 --> 00:59:05,226
- that they have to wait until tomorrow morning.
536
00:59:05,393 --> 00:59:11,691
The Allies always had
landings in good weather.
537
00:59:11,857 --> 00:59:18,155
- North Africa, Sicily, Italy...
- Yes, and always in the gray light.
538
00:59:26,914 --> 00:59:31,919
There are eleven minutes left!
I repeat this one more time:
539
00:59:32,128 --> 00:59:36,340
If for some reason we
does not land in the drop zones -
540
00:59:36,507 --> 00:59:40,886
- then you must move forward
towards the north-northeast.
541
00:59:41,053 --> 00:59:46,934
The Germans have laid large marshy areas
under water. Avoid them if possible.
542
00:59:47,143 --> 00:59:51,522
We are here to fight, not swim.
Do you hear that?
543
00:59:51,689 --> 00:59:54,567
Plain and simple, sir!
544
01:00:15,212 --> 01:00:17,381
How did it go?
545
01:00:17,548 --> 01:00:22,762
- How did the dice game go?
- I lost.
546
01:00:26,265 --> 01:00:29,810
Then we both make the jump.
547
01:00:45,951 --> 01:00:49,789
Yes, I understand.
And when is the field marshal expected?
548
01:00:51,749 --> 01:00:53,584
I understand.
549
01:00:53,751 --> 01:00:55,169
One moment.
550
01:00:56,921 --> 01:00:58,589
The radar report.
551
01:01:01,967 --> 01:01:05,596
We get reports
about radar interference.
552
01:01:06,055 --> 01:01:08,432
Our recipients are blocked.
553
01:01:10,476 --> 01:01:14,939
I know it's happened before,
but never on such a large scale.
554
01:01:15,106 --> 01:01:16,107
And...
555
01:01:17,608 --> 01:01:20,444
Call OB west? Yes, well.
556
01:01:20,945 --> 01:01:24,573
Tell the field marshal
as soon as he returns.
557
01:01:27,326 --> 01:01:31,956
CAEN
AT 01.07
558
01:01:57,648 --> 01:02:02,987
Have at it, Rupert! Do your duty
for God, king and fatherland!
559
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:10,554
Call for reinforcements!
We are under attack!
560
01:04:32,386 --> 01:04:34,388
- Are we late?
- No, but -
561
01:04:34,638 --> 01:04:36,140
- we must hurry!
562
01:05:48,045 --> 01:05:49,254
What is it?
563
01:05:52,841 --> 01:05:55,052
No!
564
01:05:56,595 --> 01:06:01,100
I'm going. I'm going.
565
01:06:18,075 --> 01:06:21,412
Hold! Hold on, I said!
566
01:06:21,578 --> 01:06:24,373
Otherwise I shoot!
567
01:06:28,419 --> 01:06:33,507
- What are you doing here?
- I live on that farm there.
568
01:06:33,674 --> 01:06:36,427
No one lives on that farm.
569
01:06:37,678 --> 01:06:40,431
- It's abandoned.
- Show us your papers.
570
01:06:41,932 --> 01:06:43,434
Get away!
571
01:06:48,605 --> 01:06:50,274
Come with me.
572
01:06:50,691 --> 01:06:51,942
Come on!
573
01:07:31,523 --> 01:07:33,525
Put the bike there.
574
01:07:36,737 --> 01:07:38,655
His! where are you
575
01:07:39,990 --> 01:07:43,160
- What is going on here?
- Nothing!
576
01:07:43,327 --> 01:07:46,705
Who is with you? Say it!
577
01:07:55,672 --> 01:07:58,842
Stop! Stop!
578
01:08:17,569 --> 01:08:20,364
Stop!
579
01:09:08,412 --> 01:09:12,124
Good luck with the war game.
580
01:09:14,084 --> 01:09:15,961
Something important?
581
01:09:16,128 --> 01:09:20,966
We are having trouble getting in touch
with our postings.
582
01:09:21,133 --> 01:09:23,927
The resistance movement now again!
583
01:09:24,094 --> 01:09:28,765
And it is said that rubber docks have become
dropped by parachute.
584
01:09:28,974 --> 01:09:30,434
Rubber docks!
585
01:09:32,186 --> 01:09:34,771
Put me in touch
with General Richter.
586
01:09:34,938 --> 01:09:41,445
Assault and diversionary manoeuvres
belongs to the order of the day.
587
01:09:41,612 --> 01:09:46,450
But rubber paratroopers
gives me a scary feeling.
588
01:09:46,617 --> 01:09:49,786
Marc's here. Yes.
589
01:09:51,455 --> 01:09:53,957
Are you sure about that?
590
01:09:54,124 --> 01:09:56,627
How many?
591
01:09:56,793 --> 01:10:00,172
What do you think about that?
592
01:10:00,339 --> 01:10:02,883
Thank you Richter.
593
01:10:03,091 --> 01:10:08,180
Paratroopers have been reported here,
here and here.
594
01:10:11,016 --> 01:10:13,518
Put it over there.
595
01:10:19,149 --> 01:10:21,652
Such have been dropped, General.
596
01:10:21,818 --> 01:10:26,240
They explode when they land,
and in the dark they look alive.
597
01:10:26,406 --> 01:10:29,826
General Richter might have spoken
about such docks.
598
01:10:29,993 --> 01:10:32,913
It might not have been soldiers.
599
01:10:37,334 --> 01:10:39,378
No.
600
01:10:40,420 --> 01:10:45,842
If you make a diversionary maneuver,
you have a special reason for it.
601
01:10:46,009 --> 01:10:49,346
Put me in touch with General Pemsel
in Seventh Army.
602
01:10:51,515 --> 01:10:55,018
Listen to this. Dockers?!
603
01:10:55,185 --> 01:10:57,521
Rubber docks!
604
01:10:57,688 --> 01:11:01,692
I completely agree, General.
605
01:11:01,858 --> 01:11:05,445
Yes, I will call you back.
606
01:11:05,654 --> 01:11:10,701
- Have you called von Rundstedt?
- The connections are broken.
607
01:11:10,867 --> 01:11:13,370
This applies to all lines.
608
01:11:13,537 --> 01:11:20,043
Marks is right. Those docks must
divert our attention.
609
01:11:20,210 --> 01:11:23,797
- In this weather?
- The weather doesn't matter!
610
01:11:23,964 --> 01:11:27,801
I need to get in touch with OB west.
611
01:12:20,771 --> 01:12:23,857
They are enemy paratroopers!
612
01:12:38,455 --> 01:12:43,627
Gosh, then! You wake up
the whole damned German army!
613
01:13:19,913 --> 01:13:25,335
Guys! I'm a little hung up! Guys!
614
01:13:36,888 --> 01:13:40,851
- Did it go well?
- Yes, then.
615
01:15:10,941 --> 01:15:13,026
General?
616
01:15:18,031 --> 01:15:21,368
Where are you from?
617
01:15:21,535 --> 01:15:27,374
I'm really sorry, old friend.
I just landed here by accident.
618
01:15:31,962 --> 01:15:34,714
Who there?
619
01:15:34,881 --> 01:15:41,096
Sorry. I'm looking for
the communion bag. I have lost it.
620
01:15:41,263 --> 01:15:45,225
Listen, Father.
We don't have time to look for...
621
01:15:50,981 --> 01:15:53,567
I'm sure
that it is here somewhere.
622
01:16:13,295 --> 01:16:16,840
We are being shot at! Shouldn't we..?
623
01:16:17,007 --> 01:16:21,219
Go on, my son.
I will come soon.
624
01:16:22,512 --> 01:16:25,599
No, to hell with it.
625
01:16:29,144 --> 01:16:33,315
- I found it!
- Thank God!
626
01:16:33,523 --> 01:16:37,444
Now, my son, we can do God's work.
627
01:16:48,872 --> 01:16:50,665
Plus cat.
628
01:16:54,711 --> 01:16:57,380
Plus cat? Do you hear me?
629
01:16:57,547 --> 01:17:00,467
Lieutenant Colonel?
630
01:17:00,634 --> 01:17:04,220
No, not as far as I know.
631
01:17:04,387 --> 01:17:08,808
It gets bombed,
but it is far from here.
632
01:17:10,060 --> 01:17:13,813
Yes, I can hear it.
633
01:17:13,980 --> 01:17:17,776
Wait a minute. One moment.
634
01:17:31,331 --> 01:17:35,919
Light bombs further up the coast.
635
01:17:36,127 --> 01:17:39,422
Cherbourg takes a beating again.
636
01:17:39,631 --> 01:17:43,051
It hardly means anything -
637
01:17:43,218 --> 01:17:47,764
- but we have received information
about individual paratroopers.
638
01:17:47,931 --> 01:17:50,934
I go to the bunker and take a look.
639
01:17:51,559 --> 01:17:53,436
Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel.
640
01:17:56,147 --> 01:18:02,737
SAINTE-MÈRE CHURCH
AT 02.03
641
01:18:11,788 --> 01:18:13,957
Louder! Louder!
642
01:18:18,461 --> 01:18:22,966
Louis? We need more buckets.
Open your store.
643
01:18:27,303 --> 01:18:30,056
Mr. Mayor.
They must come with me.
644
01:18:30,265 --> 01:18:33,685
- Does that make sense?
- Very important.
645
01:18:43,778 --> 01:18:45,321
What happened, madam?
646
01:18:45,488 --> 01:18:48,491
I was going to the outdoor...
647
01:18:48,992 --> 01:18:51,828
...and then a man fell
down from the sky.
648
01:18:52,454 --> 01:18:54,164
- A skydiver?
- Yes, that's right.
649
01:18:54,330 --> 01:18:55,999
He looked like a big bird.
650
01:18:56,207 --> 01:18:58,168
- Was he English or German?
- What?
651
01:18:58,418 --> 01:19:00,754
Was he friend or foe?
652
01:19:01,004 --> 01:19:04,632
I don't know. He disappeared
without a single word, just "hush".
653
01:19:04,966 --> 01:19:07,177
- Without a word?
- Just "hush".
654
01:19:14,934 --> 01:19:19,814
Bonjour, madame.
I am American.
655
01:19:19,981 --> 01:19:23,943
Hello, mademoiselle.
I am American.
656
01:19:26,279 --> 01:19:32,535
- It seems we are going in circles.
- They are probably looking for the drop zone.
657
01:19:33,244 --> 01:19:36,247
I am American.
658
01:19:36,456 --> 01:19:39,042
I am American.
659
01:19:40,251 --> 01:19:43,129
Voulez-vous, mademoiselle?
660
01:19:45,048 --> 01:19:49,052
Well, jump!
661
01:20:23,586 --> 01:20:25,255
Paratroopers!
662
01:23:46,289 --> 01:23:48,416
Something new?
663
01:23:48,583 --> 01:23:55,089
Heavy bombing of Cherbourg,
as usual. And now also Caen.
664
01:23:55,256 --> 01:23:59,260
The connection with the bunkers
six and eight are broken.
665
01:23:59,427 --> 01:24:03,139
But the direct line is open.
666
01:24:18,654 --> 01:24:22,158
I'll stay here for a while.
667
01:24:22,325 --> 01:24:25,328
- Do you want coffee?
- Yes, please.
668
01:25:07,203 --> 01:25:09,956
Don't make so damn much noise!
669
01:25:10,123 --> 01:25:14,377
- Sorry, but I'm probably at a loss.
- Who isn't? Come on.
670
01:26:08,764 --> 01:26:13,144
Two clicks. I heard two clicks.
671
01:27:53,703 --> 01:27:57,665
Damn, I'm glad to see you!
672
01:27:57,832 --> 01:28:01,210
- Are you from the 82nd?
- No, 101.
673
01:28:01,377 --> 01:28:07,216
- Where the hell is the 82nd?
- We don't even know where our people are.
674
01:28:08,509 --> 01:28:14,557
At least someone is shooting.
Now we get to find this war.
675
01:28:44,378 --> 01:28:48,758
Maybe they are English.
They haven't had crickets.
676
01:28:50,051 --> 01:28:53,179
It must be our guys.
677
01:28:55,681 --> 01:28:58,184
Yes, well.
678
01:29:19,246 --> 01:29:20,790
No!
679
01:29:38,224 --> 01:29:41,143
Hey, they were Germans!
680
01:29:50,653 --> 01:29:54,865
Fly! Hundreds of planes fly over me!
681
01:29:55,032 --> 01:29:59,495
Towards Caen!
682
01:29:59,662 --> 01:30:04,792
A second wave is coming
against Cherbourg. There is something in the yeast!
683
01:30:04,959 --> 01:30:08,212
What then, Pluskat?
684
01:30:08,379 --> 01:30:12,007
I haven't the faintest idea.
685
01:30:12,174 --> 01:30:15,845
Has anything been seen on the beaches?
686
01:30:17,638 --> 01:30:20,975
No, nothing.
687
01:30:21,142 --> 01:30:26,021
Yes, I'll let you know if
something is happening. Of course.
688
01:30:32,695 --> 01:30:38,325
- Are you sure the ankle is broken?
- A complicated breach, sir.
689
01:30:38,492 --> 01:30:43,956
- Put on the boot and lace it. Hard!
- Calm down now. I didn't break your foot.
690
01:30:44,123 --> 01:30:47,293
- And you don't have to step on it.
- But, Colonel, you...?
691
01:30:47,460 --> 01:30:51,088
Hold on, and do as I say.
692
01:31:02,725 --> 01:31:07,730
Companies A, B and C
are as spread out as we are.
693
01:31:07,897 --> 01:31:13,777
- Major Conklin has broken his shoulder.
- Any contact with company F?
694
01:31:13,944 --> 01:31:18,991
No, but they must be before us,
in the direction of Sainte-Mère-Eglise.
695
01:31:19,158 --> 01:31:22,745
Continue. Tighten it.
696
01:31:26,373 --> 01:31:30,878
we are here,
at the northern end of the marsh area.
697
01:31:31,045 --> 01:31:35,257
Eight kilometers from our drop zone!
698
01:31:35,424 --> 01:31:39,220
- Company F?
- No. And we have scouts everywhere.
699
01:31:39,386 --> 01:31:46,310
- We met a group from 101.
- Company F was in the first flight.
700
01:31:46,477 --> 01:31:48,729
Help me up.
701
01:31:57,571 --> 01:32:00,282
Give me my rifle.
702
01:32:09,667 --> 01:32:12,169
We take this road.
703
01:32:12,336 --> 01:32:17,383
We should get out
in open terrain before dawn.
704
01:32:17,550 --> 01:32:23,639
Make sure the men spread out
and picks up stragglers.
705
01:32:23,806 --> 01:32:29,270
Spread yourselves out and pick up
any latecomers.
706
01:32:31,981 --> 01:32:34,483
Then we go!
707
01:32:34,650 --> 01:32:38,654
The situation after the latest reports:
708
01:32:38,821 --> 01:32:45,327
American paratroopers
have landed about here.
709
01:32:45,494 --> 01:32:49,290
And British paratroopers are here.
710
01:32:49,456 --> 01:32:54,086
The invasion is going to happen here.
711
01:32:58,507 --> 01:33:01,051
Yes, yes. Thank you, Pemsel.
712
01:33:01,427 --> 01:33:04,805
Pemsel thinks it's the invasion.
713
01:33:05,055 --> 01:33:08,225
No, I don't agree.
714
01:33:08,392 --> 01:33:13,522
I mean the attack on Normandy
is just a diversionary maneuver.
715
01:33:13,689 --> 01:33:16,025
A diversionary maneuver.
716
01:33:16,191 --> 01:33:20,237
And not the main attack.
It comes here, at Pas-de-Calais.
717
01:33:21,113 --> 01:33:24,533
As we have always believed.
718
01:33:24,700 --> 01:33:28,871
As we have always believed…
719
01:33:29,038 --> 01:33:34,918
But we can't take any risks.
I want to put in the armor reserve.
720
01:33:35,085 --> 01:33:41,592
- It requires the headquarters' authorization.
- They don't dare deny me that.
721
01:33:41,759 --> 01:33:46,597
Contact the Driver's headquarters
and insist on -
722
01:33:46,764 --> 01:33:51,810
- that the armor reserve should
placed at my disposal.
723
01:33:56,231 --> 01:34:02,905
An invasion of Normandy would
defy all military logic.
724
01:34:03,072 --> 01:34:05,949
It would defy all logic
at all.
725
01:34:16,669 --> 01:34:20,589
That was all, gentlemen.
726
01:34:23,050 --> 01:34:28,889
Most of you have participated before.
Dunkirk, Dieppe, Norway...
727
01:34:29,056 --> 01:34:33,060
We all know how it is
to be chased at sea.
728
01:34:33,227 --> 01:34:39,650
In a few hours we will return
from the sea, and this time for good.
729
01:34:39,817 --> 01:34:46,407
We have no time for sentimental words
about England, home and beauty.
730
01:34:46,573 --> 01:34:51,620
But remember that our compatriots have
had a hard time for 4 1/2 years.
731
01:34:51,787 --> 01:34:55,999
They deserve the final victory.
732
01:34:56,166 --> 01:34:58,419
Let's give it to them.
733
01:34:58,585 --> 01:35:02,047
To our French brothers in arms I say:
734
01:35:02,214 --> 01:35:06,635
Good luck.
Tomorrow morning we will take them.
735
01:35:13,726 --> 01:35:16,895
Come in, Teddy.
736
01:35:17,229 --> 01:35:22,359
GENERAL THEODORE ROOSEVELT
US 4th Division
737
01:35:27,281 --> 01:35:31,869
- Did you have to apply in writing?
- Otherwise you would have refused me.
738
01:35:32,035 --> 01:35:37,082
- You put me in a bind, you know.
- It wasn't meant to be, Tubby.
739
01:35:37,249 --> 01:35:42,921
You wrote the application officially on purpose.
You are an assistant division manager.
740
01:35:43,088 --> 01:35:49,178
And therefore I should go ashore first
wave. You know that as well as I do.
741
01:35:49,344 --> 01:35:54,183
You are important to the operation.
You must not be killed on the first day.
742
01:35:54,349 --> 01:36:00,439
That is not the real reason. That
Is it because father was the president of the United States?
743
01:36:00,606 --> 01:36:04,193
A great president, and a great soldier.
744
01:36:04,359 --> 01:36:08,363
He led the attack on San Juan Hill.
745
01:36:08,530 --> 01:36:12,326
And now you want to be the first to land
on Utah Beach.
746
01:36:12,534 --> 01:36:16,914
That's where I'm supposed to be, Tubby.
That's my job.
747
01:36:21,919 --> 01:36:26,298
I have gone with the fellows
throughout the training.
748
01:36:26,465 --> 01:36:30,886
They have a right to expect
that I will be there.
749
01:36:31,053 --> 01:36:34,431
Although I am a president's son.
750
01:36:35,682 --> 01:36:39,061
Are you denying my request?
751
01:36:50,072 --> 01:36:53,617
No, and you know it.
752
01:36:53,784 --> 01:36:57,579
The request is reluctantly granted.
753
01:36:59,081 --> 01:37:02,167
Thanks, Tubby.
754
01:37:02,334 --> 01:37:04,878
Many thanks.
755
01:37:06,338 --> 01:37:09,258
How is your arthritis?
756
01:37:09,424 --> 01:37:15,472
The arthritis? I don't have it
noticed something more in several months.
757
01:37:33,866 --> 01:37:36,785
The street.
758
01:37:36,952 --> 01:37:39,079
The bridge.
759
01:37:39,246 --> 01:37:41,373
The hotel.
760
01:37:42,416 --> 01:37:44,710
The casino.
761
01:37:45,836 --> 01:37:49,756
BATTALION CHIEF PHILIPPE KIEFFER
The French commando
762
01:37:58,098 --> 01:38:01,435
One more thing:
763
01:38:01,602 --> 01:38:04,771
You have been fighting for four years now.
764
01:38:04,980 --> 01:38:09,359
In Abyssinia, Libya, Egypt...
765
01:38:09,526 --> 01:38:12,070
...and on Crete.
766
01:38:12,237 --> 01:38:18,327
But this time you will fight
on French soil. In our fields.
767
01:38:18,493 --> 01:38:21,872
In our cities.
768
01:38:22,039 --> 01:38:25,000
In front of the eyes of our compatriots.
769
01:38:27,794 --> 01:38:33,008
COLONEL GENERAL ALFRED JODL
Head of operations department OKW
770
01:38:33,342 --> 01:38:37,846
The driver took a sleeping tablet.
I can't wake him up for this!
771
01:38:38,096 --> 01:38:43,143
First will be the paratroopers
identified as downed pilots.
772
01:38:43,310 --> 01:38:46,688
And then they are said to be docks!
773
01:38:46,855 --> 01:38:50,651
If some paratroopers
has landed -
774
01:38:50,817 --> 01:38:54,404
- that's how it goes
about a commando raid.
775
01:38:54,571 --> 01:38:59,826
Is that really reason enough?
to insert the armor reserve?
776
01:39:00,035 --> 01:39:04,665
Yes, I will perform von Rundsteds
request when the Driver wakes up.
777
01:39:05,624 --> 01:39:07,376
I understand.
778
01:39:09,211 --> 01:39:12,130
Jodl says no.
779
01:39:13,799 --> 01:39:18,971
He refuses to deploy the armor reserve
without the Driver's permission.
780
01:39:21,098 --> 01:39:24,851
And the Driver is still sleeping.
781
01:39:25,060 --> 01:39:29,648
Should you let me know
to Field Marshal von Rundstedt?
782
01:39:30,899 --> 01:39:33,610
No, not yet.
783
01:39:35,070 --> 01:39:37,364
Not yet.
784
01:39:37,572 --> 01:39:40,158
Thank you, gentlemen.
785
01:39:56,591 --> 01:39:59,886
Sit down, Kurt.
786
01:40:01,138 --> 01:40:05,100
This will go down in history.
787
01:40:05,267 --> 01:40:10,105
We live in a historic moment.
788
01:40:10,272 --> 01:40:17,404
We are going to lose the war because our
big Driver has taken a sleeping tablet.
789
01:40:18,447 --> 01:40:20,907
And he must not be awakened.
790
01:40:21,992 --> 01:40:24,119
It's unbelievable.
791
01:40:24,286 --> 01:40:25,912
Think about it, Kurt.
792
01:40:27,789 --> 01:40:30,959
Don't forget it as long as you live.
793
01:40:31,126 --> 01:40:34,296
We're on to something...
794
01:40:34,463 --> 01:40:41,136
...which historians would describe as
improbable, but nevertheless true.
795
01:40:43,680 --> 01:40:47,851
The driver must not be woken up!
796
01:40:48,018 --> 01:40:52,022
Sometimes I wonder which side
God stands by.
797
01:40:53,315 --> 01:40:54,524
Can I...
798
01:40:55,817 --> 01:40:57,903
...get you something?
799
01:40:59,279 --> 01:41:01,615
Yes.
800
01:41:01,782 --> 01:41:05,577
In my room it says
a bottle of cognac.
801
01:41:05,744 --> 01:41:08,914
Napoleon. Unopened.
802
01:41:09,081 --> 01:41:13,085
I have saved it
for a suitable occasion.
803
01:41:13,251 --> 01:41:18,965
This is not an appropriate occasion,
but get it anyway.
804
01:41:43,532 --> 01:41:46,451
Finally it brightens.
805
01:41:47,702 --> 01:41:51,456
Another wasted night.
806
01:41:53,333 --> 01:41:56,253
Harras?
807
01:41:56,419 --> 01:41:58,338
Cheers!
808
01:41:58,547 --> 01:41:59,548
Where is my dog?
809
01:41:59,756 --> 01:42:01,883
It was just here.
810
01:42:07,347 --> 01:42:10,267
I take one last look.
811
01:42:13,186 --> 01:42:17,232
Nothing. Not even a seagull.
812
01:42:25,991 --> 01:42:28,410
My God!
813
01:42:34,875 --> 01:42:39,546
The invasion. They are coming.
814
01:42:39,713 --> 01:42:42,382
Alarm readiness!
815
01:42:42,549 --> 01:42:48,180
Lieutenant Colonel! The invasion is here!
There must be 5000 ships!
816
01:42:48,346 --> 01:42:52,601
Calm down now, Pluskat.
817
01:42:52,767 --> 01:42:56,438
The Allies don't have that many ships.
818
01:42:56,605 --> 01:43:01,776
If you don't believe me,
You can come here and see for yourself!
819
01:43:01,943 --> 01:43:06,156
It's fantastic. It's incredible!
820
01:43:07,407 --> 01:43:13,038
- Plus cat? What course are the ships on?
- They're coming straight at me!
821
01:43:20,212 --> 01:43:24,758
GENERAL OMAR BRADLEY
United States 1st Army
822
01:43:28,887 --> 01:43:34,476
General? In exactly two minutes
the fleet opens fire.
823
01:43:34,643 --> 01:43:38,480
Listen up!
The admiral wants to say a few words.
824
01:43:38,980 --> 01:43:41,816
ADMIRAL JAUJARD
The Free French Forces
825
01:43:41,983 --> 01:43:47,030
In a few moments the matches will begin.
826
01:43:47,197 --> 01:43:52,661
We must open fire on our fatherland
to chase away the enemy.
827
01:43:52,827 --> 01:43:54,996
That is the price of freedom.
828
01:43:56,122 --> 01:43:57,457
Long live France!
829
01:44:26,236 --> 01:44:29,864
There he comes, as usual.
Always punctual.
830
01:45:20,665 --> 01:45:24,836
The ships are on their way! Now they are coming!
831
01:45:28,882 --> 01:45:33,219
- Hooray! Hooray!
- You are completely crazy!
832
01:45:33,428 --> 01:45:35,597
I'm not crazy.
See! They are coming!
833
01:45:35,847 --> 01:45:38,183
Americans,
Englishmen, Frenchmen!
834
01:46:14,010 --> 01:46:18,515
Do you hear me?
What are you doing? What is happening?
835
01:46:18,765 --> 01:46:22,560
Are you deaf?! Can't you..?
836
01:46:22,727 --> 01:46:26,773
Don't you hear it yourself?
837
01:46:29,692 --> 01:46:33,863
We are under fire! Yes, fire!
838
01:46:39,285 --> 01:46:44,499
The 5,000 ships that you claim
that the Allies have not...
839
01:46:44,666 --> 01:46:47,293
They have them!
840
01:46:58,888 --> 01:47:01,182
Wonderful!
841
01:47:19,909 --> 01:47:21,911
What is going on?
842
01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:25,165
Beep! The invasion is underway!
843
01:47:25,331 --> 01:47:28,293
Yes, the invasion! You must move in!
844
01:47:28,460 --> 01:47:35,258
What the hell can I do with two planes?
Where's my squadron, idiots?!
845
01:47:35,425 --> 01:47:39,929
I am your superior!
Get the planes ready for takeoff!
846
01:47:40,096 --> 01:47:43,099
If it's not too much to ask -
847
01:47:43,266 --> 01:47:47,896
- maybe I can find out
where does the invasion take place?
848
01:47:48,062 --> 01:47:50,398
In Normandy?
849
01:47:50,565 --> 01:47:56,446
It was fun. I appreciate that
for me, dear Hans! See you in hell!
850
01:47:56,613 --> 01:48:01,034
It was not easy to sleep here.
851
01:48:02,494 --> 01:48:06,873
Better chance of sleeping
you won't get for a long time.
852
01:48:07,040 --> 01:48:10,835
The invasion is underway. In Normandy.
853
01:48:11,002 --> 01:48:14,172
We will fly there, just the two of us.
854
01:48:14,339 --> 01:48:17,717
There is no one else here.
855
01:48:17,884 --> 01:48:20,803
I don't think we will be back.
856
01:48:20,970 --> 01:48:27,560
OMAHA BEACH
AT 06.32
857
01:49:16,693 --> 01:49:20,280
Move out!
858
01:49:20,446 --> 01:49:23,825
Hold the line!
859
01:49:31,916 --> 01:49:38,715
The fire has ceased.
Now the landing boats arrive.
860
01:49:38,881 --> 01:49:43,636
Get to headquarters
and suffered the counterfire from there.
861
01:49:43,803 --> 01:49:47,181
Landing craft are on their way!
862
01:49:50,727 --> 01:49:53,438
Damn French!
863
01:49:53,605 --> 01:49:55,732
Sergeant!
864
01:49:55,898 --> 01:50:00,528
Send this by courier
to division headquarters.
865
01:50:00,695 --> 01:50:05,116
No, it lives itself.
Notify that the lines are broken.
866
01:50:05,283 --> 01:50:08,202
Gentlemen. Come here.
867
01:50:47,158 --> 01:50:52,163
There we have it guys.
Omaha Beach straight ahead.
868
01:50:52,538 --> 01:50:53,790
Look at the goal!
869
01:50:56,834 --> 01:50:59,379
Be ready!
870
01:52:03,443 --> 01:52:06,070
Up from the beach!
871
01:52:06,237 --> 01:52:08,364
Come on!
872
01:52:52,241 --> 01:52:53,701
Forward!
873
01:53:12,595 --> 01:53:17,183
- Hello, General, Sir.
- Are you unharmed?
874
01:53:17,350 --> 01:53:21,979
- Aren't you going to get your rifle?
- Out there, sir?
875
01:53:22,146 --> 01:53:27,276
- You will need it during the day.
- Yes, sir.
876
01:53:52,593 --> 01:53:55,721
Sanitation!
877
01:54:16,617 --> 01:54:19,745
First report from Omaha.
878
01:54:19,912 --> 01:54:22,874
“Stormtroopers have disembarked.
879
01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:27,461
First and second wave
seems to be stuck on the beach.
880
01:54:27,628 --> 01:54:30,590
Heavy artillery and mortar fire.
881
01:54:30,756 --> 01:54:35,136
The third wave is still in the water."
Big losses, sir.
882
01:54:36,721 --> 01:54:41,350
UTAH BEACH
AT 06.44
883
01:55:33,110 --> 01:55:39,533
When the fire ceases, I will hit
the battalion commanders over there.
884
01:55:40,868 --> 01:55:44,956
Don't lose the cards, Eddie.
885
01:56:13,609 --> 01:56:16,112
I managed it.
886
01:56:17,571 --> 01:56:22,576
I managed it. So you
that I knocked the two guys?
887
01:56:22,743 --> 01:56:24,870
Sergeant?
888
01:56:28,207 --> 01:56:30,960
Sergeant!
889
01:56:31,127 --> 01:56:35,923
As far as I can understand,
Are we on the wrong beach?
890
01:56:36,132 --> 01:56:41,762
We were put ashore two kilometers too far
far south. We should have been over there.
891
01:56:41,929 --> 01:56:44,932
The smoke must have confused the control boat.
892
01:56:45,099 --> 01:56:47,852
I agree, Ted, but what do we do now?
893
01:56:48,019 --> 01:56:52,231
Reinforcements and equipment
will be on the way soon.
894
01:56:52,398 --> 01:56:56,068
What if they go ashore on the right beach?
895
01:57:03,701 --> 01:57:10,624
The reinforcements are to follow us, where
whatever we are. We begin the war here.
896
01:57:10,791 --> 01:57:15,588
- We are getting inland.
- Come on!
897
01:57:32,897 --> 01:57:35,316
Lie behind me.
898
01:57:39,153 --> 01:57:41,697
Come on! Plunge!
899
01:57:43,491 --> 01:57:49,330
GOLD AND JUNO BEACHES
AT 06.49
900
01:58:27,535 --> 01:58:31,664
Turn homeward, Bergsdorf.
901
01:58:31,831 --> 01:58:36,710
Now it has the German Luftwaffe
experienced his big moment!
902
01:58:38,045 --> 01:58:43,551
SWORD BEACH
AT 06.53
903
01:58:45,136 --> 01:58:48,889
- Be ready!
- Duncan. Take care of that fortification.
904
01:58:49,056 --> 01:58:54,895
The time is almost here! Be ready!
Now we're going to make up for Dunkirk!
905
01:58:55,062 --> 01:58:59,358
He said Dunkirk.
Then he probably went to school.
906
01:59:02,194 --> 01:59:04,321
Come on!
907
01:59:05,656 --> 01:59:10,661
Come forward, you filthy scoundrels!
Flanagan is back!
908
01:59:13,372 --> 01:59:17,334
Should one drown
before you get a chance to fight?
909
01:59:52,244 --> 01:59:55,456
Keep the vehicles rolling!
910
01:59:55,623 --> 01:59:59,251
Get the laggards up to speed!
911
01:59:59,460 --> 02:00:01,712
COMMANDER COLIN MAUD
Beach Commander, British Navy
912
02:00:01,921 --> 02:00:04,256
Get away from the beach!
Continue inland!
913
02:00:05,925 --> 02:00:09,887
You guys, come on. Hurry up!
914
02:00:12,389 --> 02:00:16,560
- Stop babbling.
- We have to put these down somewhere!
915
02:00:16,727 --> 02:00:21,565
As soon as you leave the beach,
stop the damn shooting!
916
02:00:21,732 --> 02:00:24,902
This is not good for the dog.
917
02:00:26,445 --> 02:00:28,489
Calm down, Winston.
918
02:00:28,656 --> 02:00:32,409
Beach group manager at Sword here.
919
02:00:32,576 --> 02:00:38,332
The third wave is ashore as planned.
No obstacles to advancement.
920
02:00:38,540 --> 02:00:43,462
Hurry up.
Get rid of that vehicle!
921
02:00:43,629 --> 02:00:49,760
- Can I borrow the radio for a bulletin?
- Wear it if you can't drive it!
922
02:00:49,927 --> 02:00:54,515
- What did you say?
- I want to borrow the radio for a bulletin.
923
02:00:54,682 --> 02:00:58,477
I don't want to work
uncooperative.
924
02:00:58,644 --> 02:01:04,984
I know all about the power of the press,
but this line is quite busy.
925
02:01:08,487 --> 02:01:10,364
Calm down, Winston.
926
02:01:12,449 --> 02:01:16,829
- Now, what did he say?
- The answer is no.
927
02:01:16,996 --> 02:01:22,876
- We get to use the damned pigeons.
- Take these and fasten them.
928
02:01:36,890 --> 02:01:42,688
They are flying the wrong way!
Not to the Germans, idiots!
929
02:01:42,855 --> 02:01:46,317
- The other way!
- Damned traitors!
930
02:01:46,483 --> 02:01:50,404
- Can't you get your finger out?
- What is it?
931
02:01:50,904 --> 02:01:53,741
The engine won't start, sir.
Water, I think.
932
02:01:55,534 --> 02:02:01,749
Grandma always used to bang
everything mechanical that troubled. Try now.
933
02:02:05,169 --> 02:02:09,256
- Thank you, sir.
- Off with you guys. Good luck.
934
02:02:13,052 --> 02:02:16,096
As if it was his merit.
935
02:02:16,263 --> 02:02:21,727
- That's what I call a real man.
- I like his dog too.
936
02:02:21,894 --> 02:02:26,607
Don't stand there and stare! This is not
Hyde Park! The war is over there!
937
02:02:29,109 --> 02:02:32,279
Come on! Come on!
938
02:02:32,446 --> 02:02:37,242
Everything is going according to plan, guys.
Be ready for departure.
939
02:02:37,409 --> 02:02:40,120
Millin? Play "Blue Bonnet".
940
02:02:49,755 --> 02:02:53,634
What the hell..?
941
02:02:56,303 --> 02:03:00,682
My friends! What a day!
942
02:03:00,849 --> 02:03:05,312
Welcome to France
and Colleville!
943
02:03:05,479 --> 02:03:10,692
Look here! I have saved this one for you
everyone. But it is hardly enough for everyone.
944
02:03:10,859 --> 02:03:15,906
Another time, maybe. Right now
are we a bit preoccupied with the war.
945
02:03:16,073 --> 02:03:19,034
But we'd love to have some champagne.
946
02:03:19,201 --> 02:03:22,162
Millin! "Blue Bonnet".
947
02:03:25,499 --> 02:03:28,669
Thanks guys!
948
02:03:28,836 --> 02:03:32,047
Long live France!
949
02:03:34,049 --> 02:03:38,011
Long live France! Long live the allies!
950
02:03:38,178 --> 02:03:43,100
There are quite a few strange fellows
on this beach.
951
02:03:44,518 --> 02:03:48,689
Welcome! Welcome, everyone!
952
02:05:40,467 --> 02:05:45,472
Thank you, dear. They are wonderful.
953
02:05:45,639 --> 02:05:48,892
Try them first.
954
02:05:52,729 --> 02:05:56,900
It's Rommel. Good morning.
955
02:05:57,109 --> 02:06:00,654
What kind of thing?!
956
02:06:00,821 --> 02:06:03,699
Where then? In Normandy?!
957
02:06:03,907 --> 02:06:07,286
Have they created a bridgehead?
958
02:06:07,452 --> 02:06:10,581
They must be fought back!
959
02:06:10,747 --> 02:06:13,709
And the armor reserve?
960
02:06:13,875 --> 02:06:18,297
Has von Rundstedt received
Driver's permit now?
961
02:06:28,724 --> 02:06:31,226
Normandy!
962
02:06:33,937 --> 02:06:38,066
How stupid I was. So stupid!
963
02:06:39,484 --> 02:06:46,033
POINTE DU HOC
AT 07.11
964
02:06:52,080 --> 02:06:54,583
There it is.
965
02:07:04,801 --> 02:07:10,432
- Shouldn't we climb higher than that?
- We have trained on higher cliffs.
966
02:07:10,599 --> 02:07:16,063
Then no one shot at us.
Let the Air Force or the Navy do it.
967
02:07:16,229 --> 02:07:21,485
They don't see the cannons from the air.
That's why we have to knock them out.
968
02:07:21,652 --> 02:07:25,447
Otherwise they will slaughter our fellows
down on the beach.
969
02:07:25,614 --> 02:07:31,536
Three grandmothers with broom glue can sweep
down like flies from a sugar cane.
970
02:14:06,097 --> 02:14:09,225
That's who we're looking for.
971
02:15:04,864 --> 02:15:10,537
- It's empty.
- Fired by the Air Force and the Navy.
972
02:15:10,703 --> 02:15:12,831
But I don't understand...
973
02:15:12,997 --> 02:15:17,377
The cannons. There are no low waters here.
974
02:15:17,585 --> 02:15:20,713
They weren't even mounted.
975
02:15:20,880 --> 02:15:25,969
Do you think we've taken it?
all the way up here...
976
02:15:26,136 --> 02:15:28,888
...to no avail?
977
02:15:32,475 --> 02:15:36,062
I'm fine, Sergeant. Sanitation!
978
02:15:36,229 --> 02:15:38,982
Sanitation!
979
02:15:39,149 --> 02:15:41,693
Bite!
980
02:15:46,906 --> 02:15:49,242
I wonder what "bite" means.
981
02:15:59,627 --> 02:16:06,134
- Why the hell are you wearing a life jacket?
- I can't swim.
982
02:16:13,433 --> 02:16:15,602
Normandy.
983
02:16:15,768 --> 02:16:18,730
Normandy, that is...
984
02:16:18,897 --> 02:16:23,526
But that is pure madness!
985
02:16:26,613 --> 02:16:30,783
I have spoken to General Jodl.
The driver is awake.
986
02:16:30,950 --> 02:16:37,457
I totally love that!
What will happen to the armor reserve?
987
02:16:37,665 --> 02:16:42,712
From what I understand,
The Driver had a tantrum.
988
02:16:42,879 --> 02:16:47,800
- Nobody dares to ask him.
- So the armor reserve will remain?
989
02:16:48,426 --> 02:16:50,553
Yes, Field Marshal.
990
02:16:52,305 --> 02:16:56,893
Field Marshal.
Maybe you should call the driver yourself.
991
02:16:57,060 --> 02:17:00,647
He probably respects your opinion.
992
02:17:00,813 --> 02:17:02,148
Call him?
993
02:17:02,315 --> 02:17:05,235
Call the Bohemian Corporal?!
994
02:17:06,236 --> 02:17:10,240
Ask him on my bare knees?
995
02:17:10,406 --> 02:17:14,702
No, that's out of the question!
996
02:17:16,079 --> 02:17:18,998
"Hurts my heart…
997
02:17:19,165 --> 02:17:22,001
...with a monotonous apathy."
998
02:17:22,168 --> 02:17:23,461
What did you say?
999
02:17:23,711 --> 02:17:27,006
Nothing. Nothing important.
1000
02:17:28,174 --> 02:17:31,928
I will help you.
1001
02:17:32,095 --> 02:17:36,015
How did it go, Tom?
They are up there.
1002
02:17:39,227 --> 02:17:41,312
Sir?
1003
02:17:41,479 --> 02:17:45,275
Mr. Smith and his men are ready.
1004
02:17:45,441 --> 02:17:50,029
The Germans are heading up towards the forest
with machine guns and mortars.
1005
02:17:50,238 --> 02:17:53,616
Tell the men to be ready!
1006
02:17:53,783 --> 02:17:57,787
Prepare the boys for another counterattack.
1007
02:18:00,498 --> 02:18:03,501
Be good, mate.
1008
02:18:06,963 --> 02:18:11,134
- What's the matter?
- I thought I heard bagpipes.
1009
02:18:11,301 --> 02:18:13,845
Don't be stupid.
1010
02:18:21,561 --> 02:18:26,691
I said I heard bagpipes!
The reinforcements are coming!
1011
02:18:39,078 --> 02:18:41,581
It's Lovat!
1012
02:19:18,284 --> 02:19:23,081
- Sorry I'm late, old friend.
- Better late than never, sir.
1013
02:19:26,834 --> 02:19:30,129
How is the situation here?
1014
02:19:30,338 --> 02:19:35,593
The Germans have regrouped in the woods
with mortars and machine guns.
1015
02:19:35,760 --> 02:19:40,973
- Number?
- No idea, but they are advancing.
1016
02:19:42,266 --> 02:19:46,813
Then we won't wait.
We better get going.
1017
02:19:46,979 --> 02:19:50,233
We're going over. Millin!
1018
02:19:50,400 --> 02:19:53,319
Play "Black Bear".
1019
02:19:53,486 --> 02:19:57,281
All right, up with you!
1020
02:19:57,448 --> 02:19:59,575
Get up!
1021
02:20:05,415 --> 02:20:08,960
Now he starts again.
1022
02:20:09,127 --> 02:20:11,838
What a damned noise!
1023
02:20:12,004 --> 02:20:15,425
Yes, bagpipes must be played by Irish people.
1024
02:20:30,022 --> 02:20:35,027
Hold it until you are relieved.
Hold it until you are relieved...
1025
02:20:36,404 --> 02:20:41,701
North to East.
Sainte-Mère-Eglise is on that road.
1026
02:20:41,868 --> 02:20:47,957
Someone has flipped that sign. Is it
just me looking at the compass?
1027
02:20:48,124 --> 02:20:51,711
Hey guys! This way!
1028
02:20:51,878 --> 02:20:53,796
Come on!
1029
02:20:53,963 --> 02:20:56,799
Come here! Hurry up!
1030
02:20:59,218 --> 02:21:04,640
- Where are you going with that thing?
- We don't know, sir.
1031
02:21:04,807 --> 02:21:09,395
What do you have here? Ammunition?
Do you belong to the 82nd?
1032
02:21:09,562 --> 02:21:14,066
- No, 101.
- Now you belong to 82.
1033
02:21:14,317 --> 02:21:17,570
- But, sir...
- But what then?
1034
02:21:17,737 --> 02:21:19,864
Nothing, sir.
1035
02:21:20,031 --> 02:21:22,158
All right, move out.
1036
02:21:24,869 --> 02:21:27,497
Knock that sign down.
1037
02:21:33,586 --> 02:21:37,715
- Something is moving over there.
- Seek coverage!
1038
02:21:40,384 --> 02:21:44,055
This is Lieutenant Sheen of Company A.
1039
02:21:45,097 --> 02:21:48,351
Colonel! It's me!
1040
02:21:49,894 --> 02:21:55,274
- Where are you from?
- Sainte-Mère-Eglise. We stay the course.
1041
02:21:55,483 --> 02:22:00,279
The Germans have a battery
on that hill over there.
1042
02:22:00,488 --> 02:22:03,699
- Where is Major Lance?
- In a house by the square.
1043
02:22:03,866 --> 02:22:06,118
And the F company?
1044
02:22:06,285 --> 02:22:11,374
They came in too far
and the land in the middle of the city.
1045
02:22:11,541 --> 02:22:14,460
A nightmare. Pure slaughter.
1046
02:22:14,627 --> 02:22:17,797
They were mowed down before they reached the ground.
1047
02:22:21,133 --> 02:22:24,303
Major Lance asked me to contact you, sir.
1048
02:22:24,470 --> 02:22:29,100
He wants your permission
to regroup outside the city.
1049
02:22:30,560 --> 02:22:37,483
No, damn it. We came to consume
the city, and we will take it and hold it.
1050
02:22:38,901 --> 02:22:42,029
Follow the lieutenant, gentlemen.
1051
02:22:52,248 --> 02:22:55,793
- Sir.
- Thank you.
1052
02:22:55,960 --> 02:23:01,173
The British and Canadians advance
from Sword, Gold and Juno.
1053
02:23:03,092 --> 02:23:07,680
- Something from Omaha?
- Not since the first message.
1054
02:23:07,847 --> 02:23:11,183
"Hard fights, big losses."
1055
02:23:14,353 --> 02:23:17,481
Omaha?
1056
02:23:17,648 --> 02:23:20,359
No.
1057
02:23:22,069 --> 02:23:25,865
I don't understand why the Germans don't
have installed the hood.
1058
02:23:26,073 --> 02:23:32,288
All panzer divisions except the 21st.
seems to stand still.
1059
02:23:32,455 --> 02:23:34,582
Sir.
1060
02:23:36,876 --> 02:23:43,215
"French Commando Troops
from Sword has reached Ouistreham."
1061
02:23:43,382 --> 02:23:45,718
Ouistreham.
1062
02:26:36,180 --> 02:26:37,890
Back off!
1063
02:26:39,099 --> 02:26:42,895
Back off! Apply for coverage!
1064
02:26:57,910 --> 02:27:03,374
We must have tanks. We need to call in tanks!
1065
02:27:03,541 --> 02:27:09,421
Hello, Bastille. It's Windsor.
Bastille, hello!
1066
02:27:21,100 --> 02:27:25,104
It is perceived. The tower!
1067
02:27:26,605 --> 02:27:28,774
Fire!
1068
02:27:44,456 --> 02:27:49,003
Hello, Bastille! This is Windsor.
1069
02:27:49,169 --> 02:27:53,632
- I don't get an answer.
- Try again.
1070
02:27:53,799 --> 02:27:59,263
Hold the positions.
I'll get us a tank.
1071
02:27:59,430 --> 02:28:02,391
Cover us.
1072
02:28:49,688 --> 02:28:51,065
Fire!
1073
02:28:56,362 --> 02:28:59,031
Aim the cannon!
1074
02:29:03,077 --> 02:29:05,537
Get the wounded out of here!
1075
02:29:33,565 --> 02:29:34,608
Turn!
1076
02:29:35,484 --> 02:29:36,860
Get away!
1077
02:29:55,796 --> 02:30:01,260
- You guys are crazy! You can't be here!
- I am the abbess.
1078
02:30:01,427 --> 02:30:05,806
- The sisters are trained nurses.
- Madame!
1079
02:30:06,015 --> 02:30:10,436
Abbess, I mean.
There's a battle going on here!
1080
02:30:12,229 --> 02:30:15,441
Take care of the injured.
1081
02:30:49,683 --> 02:30:50,768
It's a tank!
1082
02:30:53,479 --> 02:30:54,938
It's Kieffer!
1083
02:31:04,948 --> 02:31:07,326
The other side!
1084
02:31:18,170 --> 02:31:21,632
Clear away the junk! Fast!
1085
02:31:57,543 --> 02:32:01,046
Where is the Luftwaffe? Luftwaffe!
1086
02:32:01,213 --> 02:32:02,214
I am trying...
1087
02:32:02,506 --> 02:32:04,383
Yes, yes, you try.
1088
02:32:12,391 --> 02:32:17,396
British troops have established
a bridgehead here. They go inside.
1089
02:32:17,563 --> 02:32:23,235
American paratroopers hold
Sainte-Mère-Eglise and the road there.
1090
02:32:23,402 --> 02:32:27,239
We control the middle section.
1091
02:32:27,406 --> 02:32:33,078
The Americans have landed,
but unable to progress.
1092
02:32:33,245 --> 02:32:36,415
Rommel is right.
1093
02:32:36,582 --> 02:32:42,045
If we can keep them on the beaches,
the invasion runs into the sand.
1094
02:33:18,957 --> 02:33:22,461
- Does that thing work?
- Yes, sometimes.
1095
02:33:22,628 --> 02:33:25,422
Have you heard anything?
from the other beaches?
1096
02:33:25,589 --> 02:33:29,801
We have intercepted some messages
from the fighters.
1097
02:33:29,968 --> 02:33:36,016
Fourth division has left Utah-
stranded and is on its way inland.
1098
02:33:37,935 --> 02:33:43,148
- What about the first division?
- They are stuck, just like us.
1099
02:34:07,756 --> 02:34:10,217
What do you think?
1100
02:34:10,384 --> 02:34:14,638
We must have over a thousand fallen
so far.
1101
02:34:14,805 --> 02:34:19,476
- Shall I ask the ships to pick us up?
- Is it that bad?
1102
02:34:19,643 --> 02:34:23,563
We can't get up
on that hill.
1103
02:34:23,772 --> 02:34:27,985
Can't we get away from the beach,
is out with us all.
1104
02:34:28,151 --> 02:34:34,408
It's our guys, Tom. We can't
let so many die and then run away.
1105
02:34:34,574 --> 02:34:37,369
Don't give a damn if we go!
We're going up that hill.
1106
02:34:37,536 --> 02:34:40,038
Find someone who can talk
for the commandos.
1107
02:34:40,205 --> 02:34:43,000
There's a ravine over here.
1108
02:34:43,166 --> 02:34:48,380
With a well-defended concrete roadblock
and machine gun ports on both sides.
1109
02:34:48,547 --> 02:34:52,551
- If we can blow it up...
- We have tried three times!
1110
02:34:52,718 --> 02:34:56,346
Then we can try again!
1111
02:34:56,513 --> 02:35:01,601
Do we have any engineer troops
with equipment that works?
1112
02:35:03,395 --> 02:35:06,940
- So I'm not going to contact the ships?
- No, damn it!
1113
02:35:07,107 --> 02:35:13,905
We need bazookas, mortars and every
only man who can stand upright!
1114
02:35:15,741 --> 02:35:18,035
Well, Norm.
1115
02:35:33,884 --> 02:35:36,762
Listen up, everyone!
1116
02:35:36,928 --> 02:35:42,434
Now you have to sharpen up! We will
get away from here and go inland!
1117
02:35:42,601 --> 02:35:48,273
My men have lost their weapons.
They have nothing to fight with.
1118
02:35:48,440 --> 02:35:52,611
Take away the dead and wounded!
Take everything that can be shot!
1119
02:35:52,778 --> 02:35:55,572
You know what this applies to!
1120
02:35:55,739 --> 02:36:01,411
Only two types of people stay on the beach:
The dead and those who will die!
1121
02:36:01,578 --> 02:36:06,416
Now get your ass in gear!
You are the fighting ones in the 29th!
1122
02:36:21,807 --> 02:36:26,812
Bob? I just read
the reports from the Navy.
1123
02:36:26,978 --> 02:36:31,441
According to the fighters, Omaha is
the pure carnage.
1124
02:36:31,608 --> 02:36:34,528
To quote the report:
1125
02:36:34,694 --> 02:36:39,324
"There is no sign of movement
which can be observed from here."
1126
02:36:40,617 --> 02:36:43,495
I'll look into these.
1127
02:36:45,997 --> 02:36:51,670
- How is Ike taking it?
- Like everyone else, he sits on pins and needles.
1128
02:36:53,797 --> 02:36:59,177
No, we have to regroup according to plan six!
1129
02:36:59,344 --> 02:37:01,471
Hello?
1130
02:37:04,683 --> 02:37:05,976
Do you hear me?
1131
02:37:06,643 --> 02:37:10,647
We must regroup according to plan six!
1132
02:37:10,814 --> 02:37:12,691
No! Wow!
1133
02:37:12,858 --> 02:37:17,529
If our bonnet comes,
we manage to put it in.
1134
02:37:20,031 --> 02:37:24,369
- Drive the car forward. We're going to the coast.
- Shall we destroy the archives?
1135
02:37:24,536 --> 02:37:29,040
Do as you will.
I'm going to the front in Normandy!
1136
02:37:29,249 --> 02:37:30,375
Yes, General.
1137
02:37:57,527 --> 02:38:01,406
- Where is everyone?
- What?
1138
02:38:02,574 --> 02:38:05,368
Where is everyone?
1139
02:38:07,120 --> 02:38:10,248
I don't hear anything.
1140
02:38:10,415 --> 02:38:15,504
The church bells have rung
straight into my ears for ten hours.
1141
02:38:20,258 --> 02:38:25,472
- Where is Major Lance?
- In the stone house over there.
1142
02:38:25,639 --> 02:38:30,060
- Get him. The colonel is here.
- What?
1143
02:38:31,937 --> 02:38:34,064
Hold!
1144
02:38:43,823 --> 02:38:47,160
Colonel! So nice to see you!
1145
02:38:47,327 --> 02:38:52,999
Get those corpses down. How can you
leave them hanging there?! Get them down!
1146
02:38:53,166 --> 02:38:57,420
- We have been under fire...
- I know, but I blow it!
1147
02:38:57,587 --> 02:39:01,591
Get them down! The boys shouldn't hang out there.
1148
02:39:01,758 --> 02:39:06,137
Take a group
and get those bodies down immediately.
1149
02:39:09,474 --> 02:39:15,146
Colonel? Have our forces joined
with the troops that were put ashore?
1150
02:39:15,313 --> 02:39:19,484
I don't know. I don't even know
whether the disembarkation took place.
1151
02:39:19,651 --> 02:39:24,489
But one thing I know:
We will hold the city until they arrive.
1152
02:39:24,656 --> 02:39:29,953
Whether it be today, tomorrow,
or whether we have to wait until doomsday.
1153
02:39:30,787 --> 02:39:35,542
For their sake, if nothing else.
Where are we the enemy's positions?
1154
02:39:35,709 --> 02:39:40,547
The Germans have their fortification here,
on the hill over there.
1155
02:39:40,714 --> 02:39:46,011
They have cannons and mortars,
and machine gun emplacements by the road.
1156
02:39:46,177 --> 02:39:49,723
- How many men do you have?
- Too few.
1157
02:39:49,889 --> 02:39:54,352
Company A reinforces Major Lance.
1158
02:39:54,519 --> 02:40:00,191
The rest of the command group remains
with us. We're going straight up there.
1159
02:40:00,358 --> 02:40:04,154
- Good luck, Major.
- Thank you, sir.
1160
02:40:04,321 --> 02:40:10,619
- Soldier? War is hell.
- It is an honor to have you as boss.
1161
02:40:10,785 --> 02:40:15,206
With God's help we shall do
what we came here to do.
1162
02:40:15,373 --> 02:40:19,669
- We are ready, sir.
- Forward!
1163
02:40:29,220 --> 02:40:33,558
Gammern really has
changed since yesterday.
1164
02:40:38,563 --> 02:40:41,900
Or we have changed...
1165
02:40:42,067 --> 02:40:44,569
...since yesterday.
1166
02:40:51,284 --> 02:40:55,246
Lovat's command troops have
reached the bridge.
1167
02:40:55,413 --> 02:41:00,460
- Did you hear that, Bob?
- Yes, I heard that.
1168
02:41:00,627 --> 02:41:06,758
Sainte-Mère-Eglise is captured
of groups from the 82nd Airborne.
1169
02:41:06,925 --> 02:41:12,764
- 101st Airborne is on its way to Utah.
- That's good.
1170
02:41:12,931 --> 02:41:17,977
But don't we come up from Omaha,
then it doesn't mean a damn piece of shit.
1171
02:41:18,144 --> 02:41:22,649
Then we get two severed bridgeheads,
in British and our zone.
1172
02:41:22,816 --> 02:41:25,860
With the Germans in between.
1173
02:41:40,750 --> 02:41:45,714
- Are you from the engineering troops?
- Yes, sir! 299.
1174
02:41:45,880 --> 02:41:51,845
- Who is in charge here?
- Me, sir. No officers made it.
1175
02:41:52,011 --> 02:41:56,349
- Are the bangalore torpedoes working?
- We will make them work!
1176
02:41:56,516 --> 02:42:00,395
- What's your name, Sergeant?
- Fuller, sir.
1177
02:42:00,562 --> 02:42:05,817
From now on you are Lieutenant Fuller,
whether you like it or not.
1178
02:42:05,984 --> 02:42:10,321
Send some men
with equipment for the ravine.
1179
02:42:10,488 --> 02:42:14,492
You and the rest of the men
following me.
1180
02:42:14,659 --> 02:42:18,663
Now we move that equipment!
1181
02:42:24,502 --> 02:42:28,673
- I have a rifle, sir.
- Well done, boy!
1182
02:42:28,840 --> 02:42:32,844
- The command troops are ready.
- Send them forward.
1183
02:42:33,011 --> 02:42:35,555
Forward, Captain.
1184
02:42:35,722 --> 02:42:38,516
Forward!
1185
02:42:40,185 --> 02:42:44,105
- Now, Tom?
- We are ready.
1186
02:42:44,314 --> 02:42:48,693
It's going to go. It must go!
1187
02:42:48,860 --> 02:42:53,531
We're getting killed here. We might as well
be killed on the way into the country.
1188
02:42:56,868 --> 02:43:01,623
Ready, Lieutenant? You must
blow up the roadblock for me.
1189
02:43:01,831 --> 02:43:05,543
When I give the go-ahead,
do you bang everything at once.
1190
02:43:33,071 --> 02:43:36,825
First we have to
blow holes in the barbed wire.
1191
02:43:36,991 --> 02:43:41,287
Then we stuff everything we have
into that wall.
1192
02:43:41,454 --> 02:43:44,165
Forward!
1193
02:46:42,969 --> 02:46:46,806
Forward! Forward!
1194
02:47:47,158 --> 02:47:50,828
We have to go, General.
Enemy aircraft are shelling the main road.
1195
02:47:51,037 --> 02:47:52,705
You don't say that!
1196
02:49:30,136 --> 02:49:33,264
Don't worry, Yankee.
1197
02:49:36,809 --> 02:49:39,770
He is dead.
1198
02:49:59,332 --> 02:50:03,502
I'm dying for a cigarette.
1199
02:50:11,260 --> 02:50:15,640
- Are you seriously injured?
- Air defense.
1200
02:50:16,641 --> 02:50:19,560
Shot down last night.
1201
02:50:22,688 --> 02:50:29,403
He was going to finish me off,
but I got him with this one.
1202
02:50:39,372 --> 02:50:44,585
Have you ever killed a man
face to face?
1203
02:50:44,794 --> 02:50:47,338
No.
1204
02:50:47,505 --> 02:50:51,884
I didn't have that either.
Not face to face.
1205
02:50:54,595 --> 02:50:58,557
I've been sitting here watching him.
1206
02:50:58,724 --> 02:51:02,853
Have you noticed
to something special with him?
1207
02:51:11,070 --> 02:51:13,197
No.
1208
02:51:14,198 --> 02:51:19,036
He has the boots on the wrong foot.
1209
02:51:25,876 --> 02:51:29,046
He must have been in a hurry, huh?
1210
02:51:30,256 --> 02:51:32,967
Is it serious?
1211
02:51:34,218 --> 02:51:40,266
I'm bounced up
from the crotch down to the knee.
1212
02:51:40,433 --> 02:51:45,271
A paramedic came by
and gave me a shot of morphine.
1213
02:51:46,939 --> 02:51:52,945
I hope he comes back sooner
it stops working. He promised it.
1214
02:51:55,281 --> 02:51:58,242
Did he sew you together?
1215
02:52:00,745 --> 02:52:07,168
He lost most of his equipment
when he went ashore.
1216
02:52:07,376 --> 02:52:13,007
So he stitched up the wound
with safety pins.
1217
02:52:23,893 --> 02:52:26,979
It's getting dark.
1218
02:52:33,652 --> 02:52:39,116
You know what? I haven't
fired a single shot all day.
1219
02:52:39,283 --> 02:52:44,288
I hear people shooting, but when I
get there, everyone is gone.
1220
02:52:46,624 --> 02:52:49,502
It's strange, isn't it?
1221
02:52:49,668 --> 02:52:51,796
He is dead...
1222
02:52:51,962 --> 02:52:54,715
...I'm crippled...
1223
02:52:54,924 --> 02:52:57,635
...and you are lost.
1224
02:52:58,928 --> 02:53:02,848
But that's how it always is.
1225
02:53:03,015 --> 02:53:05,810
In war, I mean.
1226
02:53:11,816 --> 02:53:15,820
I wonder who won.
1227
02:53:56,694 --> 02:54:00,865
Drive me up that hill, boy.
1228
02:54:35,149 --> 02:54:39,236
