00:03Call General Eisenhower.
00:07Tiger was a training op.
00:08Dress rehearsal for D-Day.
00:12They walked right into it.
00:15One mistake.
00:17Just that 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 of General Eisenhower.
00:31Do we have a date yet for the invasion, sir?
00:33D-Day is in 61 hours from now.
00:37This 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 of Normandy.
00:55The invasion is confirmed for Monday.
00:57Monday, Monday, Monday.
00:59But they weren'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.
01:15If 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 facts.
01:42The facts!
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.
02:20I have no idea why.
02:22No doubt.
02:23You don't need any other excuses.
02:24You have to die.
02:25You have to die.
02:33You have to die.
02:33You
