00:03Call General Eisenhower.
00:07Tiger was a training op dress rehearsal for D-Day.
00:12They walked right into it.
00:15One mistake.
00:17It's not one mistake.
00:19Ike, you have to stop doing this to yourself.
00:23What's done is done.
00:27Group Captain Dr. James Stagg,
00:29here at the express request to generalize now.
00:31Do we have a date yet for the invasion's out?
00:33D-Day is in 61 hours.
00:36From now, this is the largest seaborne invasion in history.
00:41Fate of the war, thousands of lives hinge on this.
00:45I need a forecast.
00:48Churchill tells me you're the best meteorologist in the country.
00:51Get me the latest readings from every single base within 2,000 miles off Normandy.
00:55The invasion's confirmed for Monday, Monday, Monday.
00:59But they won't like this.
01:01We are faced with a succession of two aggressive storms.
01:05Are you absolutely certain?
01:07D-Day will be calm and sunny.
01:09I couldn't disagree with that more.
01:16If D-Day is cancelled, we will lose this war.
01:21The final decision on the timing of D-Day will be mine.
01:25And mine alone.
01:27If you invade tomorrow, they're going to be washed away.
01:32300,000 men with families that they may never see again.
01:38Why should I trust you?
01:40We must face the Vance.
01:43The Vance!
01:43However frightening they may be.
01:49If we delay, the enemy will be ready and waiting.
01:52They'll slaughter every single last one of us.
02:03The storms that I'm talking about are real.
02:08And the wrath of nature is real.
02:13The end.
02:14The end.
02:16The end.
02:20The end.
