00:00The final decision on the timing of D-Day will be mine, and mine alone.
00:09Call General Eisenhower.
00:13Tiger was a training op, dress rehearsal for D-Day.
00:18They walked right into it.
00:21One mistake.
00:24It's not one mistake.
00:25Ike, you have to stop doing this to yourself.
00:29What's done is done.
00:33Group Captain Dr. James Stagg here at the express request of General Eisenhower.
00:37Do we have a date yet for the invasion's out?
00:39D-Day is in 61 hours from now.
00:43This is the largest seaborne invasion in history.
00:47Fate of the war, thousands of lives hinge on this.
00:51I need a forecast.
00:54Churchill tells me you're the best meteorologist in the country.
00:57Get me the latest readings from every single base within 2,000 miles of Normandy.
01:01The invasion's confirmed for Monday, Monday, Monday.
01:05They weren't like this.
01:07We are faced with a succession of two aggressive storms.
01:11Are you absolutely certain?
01:13D-Day will be calm and sunny.
01:15I couldn't disagree with that more.
01:22If D-Day is cancelled, we will lose this war.
01:27The final decision on the timing of D-Day will be mine.
01:31And mine alone.
01:33If you invade tomorrow, they're going to be washed away.
01:38300,000 men with families that they may never see again.
01:45Why should I trust you?
01:46We must face the vats.
01:49The vats!
01:50However frightening they may be.
01:55If we delay, the enemy will be ready and waiting.
01:58They'll slaughter every single last one of us.
02:09The storms that I'm talking about are real.
02:14And the wrath of nature...
02:18Is real.
02:44Ancient s s nd
02:44Not the wrath of nature
