Heil Hitler.
General Field Marshal waiting for us .

00:01:44,541 --> 00:01:48,381

- Heil Hitler.
- General.

General Field Marshal .

00:02:15,141 --> 00:02:18,101
Ma'am .

13
00:02:18,101 --> 00:02:23,141
- You stay well out to lunch ?
- No, thank you. We are here in the service.

14
00:02:23,141 --> 00:02:28,261
May I ask you to leave us alone
with General Field Marshal ?

15
00:02:28,261 --> 00:02:30,501
Come on .

16
00:02:33,461 --> 00:02:36,421
I announce if we need anything.

Aldinger ,

It's so well ? You are looking for an idiot
blaming the West Front collapse .

19
00:02:54,701 --> 00:02:59,821
You are accused of having been involved
the assassination of the Fuhrer .

Thank you. Great. Stay there , we will
up and shooting close-ups .

35
00:04:20,821 --> 00:04:25,541
Do what you want , as long as you delay
invasion by a week.

36
00:04:25,541 --> 00:04:29,021
- Fuehrer's adjutant is here.
- Thank you, Aldinger .

37
00:04:29,021 --> 00:04:35,221
I need your support. High German
officers that the Russians captured -

38
00:04:35,221 --> 00:04:40,501
- Have sent letters to officers
and urged them to stop the war.

39
00:04:40,501 --> 00:04:43,501
They're dictated by Stalin himself .

40
00:04:43,501 --> 00:04:48,301
Unfortunately not. There is clear evidence
that the letters are not forged.

41
00:04:48,301 --> 00:04:53,221
- Do you also have one?
- No. And then I ripped it .

42
00:04:53,221 --> 00:04:57,621
Now that the war escalates ,
Fuhrer must know with certainty -

43
00:04:57,621 --> 00:05:02,581
- That there is a one-off
and that the field marshal is loyal .

44
00:05:02,581 --> 00:05:06,261
- The Führer knows I am loyal .
- Hostile flight !

45
00:05:06,261 --> 00:05:09,101
Give me , Aldinger .

46
00:05:09,981 --> 00:05:14,461
They have not seen us yet.
- Daniel , try to reach the forest.

47
00:05:16,021 --> 00:05:20,421
- They face . They 've found us !
- Maybe you should sit down .

48
00:05:20,421 --> 00:05:24,461
Gasa . Faster.
- Where do you see the problems we have here.

49
00:05:24,461 --> 00:05:28,861
Not a German plane in sight.
The allies chasing us like hares.

50
00:05:38,541 --> 00:05:40,541
Stop!

51
00:05:40,541 --> 00:05:44,141
In here. Fort . - This Way . In there .

52
00:05:44,141 --> 00:05:46,581
Do not, you still can not hit .

53
00:05:47,621 --> 00:05:51,741
In there . Quick!

54
00:05:51,741 --> 00:05:54,181
Shit !

55
00:05:58,661 --> 00:06:00,701
Survived all ?

56
00:06:06,901 --> 00:06:10,541
" On all soldiers
and officers' behalf " -

57
00:06:10,541 --> 00:06:16,821
- " We declare our allegiance
to the Führer and National Socialism. "

58
00:06:16,821 --> 00:06:21,621
"Therefore , we promise to do all we can
for every soldier " -

59
00:06:21,621 --> 00:06:27,261
- " To fight even more intense
of National Socialism 's future. "

60
00:06:27,261 --> 00:06:31,061
" Berchtesgarden , March 15, 1944 ".

61
00:06:44,661 --> 00:06:49,581
My adjutant was very impressed
of his visit to the Atlantic Wall .

62
00:06:49,581 --> 00:06:52,901
I look forward to your progress .

63
00:06:52,901 --> 00:06:56,701
This was two weeks ago
off Plymouth .

64
00:06:56,701 --> 00:07:00,021
The enemy appears prepare
a landing .

65
00:07:00,021 --> 00:07:05,181
They also gather force
English Channel. At least 50 divisions.

66
00:07:05,181 --> 00:07:09,301
<i>- They will then in a few weeks .
 - About </ i> they come.</i>

67
00:07:09,301 --> 00:07:12,101
They have practiced this before .

68
00:07:12,101 --> 00:07:16,821
It 's obvious that the Allies
must come west.

69
00:07:16,821 --> 00:07:20,501
I 'm really looking forward
their departure .

70
00:07:26,941 --> 00:07:30,461
What do you think?
Where will they try ?

71
00:07:30,461 --> 00:07:35,741
They are probably trying here , in Calais.
Or in Normandy.

72
00:07:35,741 --> 00:07:41,221
The two peninsulas offer
excellent opportunities for bridgeheads .

73
00:07:41,221 --> 00:07:44,181
How the enemy will act?

74
00:07:44,181 --> 00:07:47,061
First they bombarded our positions.

75
00:07:47,061 --> 00:07:53,741
Then attack boats
and armored landing vehicles -

76
00:07:53,741 --> 00:08:00,661
- Under the cover of artillery and bombers .
Airborne troops placed behind the front.

77
00:08:00,661 --> 00:08:03,341
What is your counter-move ?

78
00:08:03,341 --> 00:08:08,901
The enemy will be killed at the landing .
The beach is the battle line .

79
00:08:08,901 --> 00:08:15,501
Empty talk , Mr. Rommel . How defends
to an over 2,000 km of coastline ?

80
00:08:15,501 --> 00:08:17,541
We miss forces.

81
00:08:17,541 --> 00:08:24,141
We place all armored divisions
to the coast. I 'll show you.

82
00:08:25,181 --> 00:08:30,101
Within three months , it looks like this
everywhere on the Atlantic Wall .

83
00:08:30,101 --> 00:08:33,541
Barriers hinder
for landing boats.

84
00:08:33,541 --> 00:08:37,541
Artillery shells them
directly at the landing .

85
00:08:37,541 --> 00:08:42,941
And we have no artillery in place,
taking armor units over .

86
00:08:42,941 --> 00:08:49,501
If the enemy breaks through at one point
on fältmarskalkens defense line

87
00:08:49,501 --> 00:08:52,061
- Empire is defenseless .

88
00:08:52,061 --> 00:08:58,581
When the Allies marching to Berlin.
Our tanks can only follow.

89
00:08:58,581 --> 00:09:04,821
Our tanks kill all enemies
who disembarked in 48 hours.

90
00:09:04,821 --> 00:09:10,821
Before the tanks get there , it has
enemy plane bombed them apart .

91
00:09:11,981 --> 00:09:17,821
Mein Führer ... I ask you to give me
command of armored forces .

92
00:09:17,821 --> 00:09:21,381
Only then can we prevent
enemy invasion.

93
00:09:22,421 --> 00:09:26,501
Then we put everything on one card .
Without strategic reserves .

94
00:09:26,501 --> 00:09:29,821
As commander in chief in the West
I allow it .

95
00:09:29,821 --> 00:09:34,541
But for three years, have you allowed
Atlantic Wall to be inadequate.

96
00:09:34,541 --> 00:09:39,581
While Rommel short time
has done exemplary work .

97
00:09:39,581 --> 00:09:43,621
An invasion must be strictly avoided.
For one thing is certain :

98
00:09:43,621 --> 00:09:48,421
If the landing fails,
do not they try again .

99
00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:52,501
Then we can redirect forces
where we need them - in the East.

100
00:09:52,501 --> 00:09:55,141
All 45 divisions.

101
00:09:57,741 --> 00:10:02,181
war output
depends on you and your soldiers.

102
00:10:02,181 --> 00:10:05,781
And even Reich
and the fate of the nation .

103
00:10:05,781 --> 00:10:10,821
- Do you realize that, Field Marshal ?
- Yes, my Führer .

104
00:10:10,821 --> 00:10:16,381
Can you at least wait
at Manfred ? He will be disappointed.

105
00:10:16,381 --> 00:10:21,941
Tell him . We have very little time before
the enemy is coming, and much to do.

106
00:10:21,941 --> 00:10:24,341
- You can do it .
- I must.

107
00:10:24,341 --> 00:10:27,941
Fuhrer expects
I save the kingdom .

108
00:10:27,941 --> 00:10:30,461
How nice that he trusts you again .

109
00:10:30,461 --> 00:10:34,101
FRANCE
April 15, 1944

110
00:10:41,381 --> 00:10:44,421
Rommel HEADQUARTERS

111
00:10:44,421 --> 00:10:48,461
There you are .
We were expecting you earlier , General.

112
00:10:48,461 --> 00:10:51,781
We were chased by enemy aircraft .

113
00:10:51,781 --> 00:10:57,901
Their superiority in the air is our largest
problems . My adjutant , Captain Aldinger .

114
00:10:57,901 --> 00:11:02,181
Take the general's baggage .
- You will get to meet my staff , Speidel .

115
00:11:02,181 --> 00:11:07,461
- How's the cheese ?
- The Russian offensive can not be stopped.

116
00:11:07,461 --> 00:11:10,181
Führer's orders are catastrophic .

117
00:11:10,181 --> 00:11:14,301
They give unnecessary coincident ,
and prevents the front moved.

118
00:11:14,301 --> 00:11:18,781
- Move the front?
- For Reich boundaries, if possible.

119
00:11:18,781 --> 00:11:23,141
Then do not negotiate the enemy with us.
Would you like to be humiliated ?

120
00:11:23,141 --> 00:11:26,461
- No.
- We will prevent the invasion.

121
00:11:26,461 --> 00:11:30,661
Only then may the Führer
a strong bargaining position .

122
00:11:32,541 --> 00:11:38,301
Gentlemen,
our new Chief of Staff , General Speidel .

123
00:11:38,301 --> 00:11:40,221
Nice .

124
00:11:40,221 --> 00:11:44,741
Countess La Rochefoucauld ,
Castle owner's nephew .

125
00:11:44,741 --> 00:11:48,381
<i> - Bonjour.
- Comtesse , bonjour . </ I></i>

126
00:11:48,381 --> 00:11:52,181
She speaks excellent German.
She interprets for us.

127
00:11:53,221 --> 00:11:56,981
- Er famous ancestor , the author ?
- Yes.

128
00:11:56,981 --> 00:11:59,941
<i> " La jeunesse
est une Ivresse continuelle . " < / i ></i>

129
00:11:59,941 --> 00:12:02,501
<i> "C'est la fièvre de la raison . " </ i></i>

130
00:12:02,501 --> 00:12:06,301
- It was well he ?
- Yes.

131
00:12:07,661 --> 00:12:14,941
Youth is a continual intoxication.
The reason is fever.

132
00:12:15,981 --> 00:12:21,421
Who did you mean , Speidel ? There's
just a youth here , Countess.

133
00:12:22,581 --> 00:12:27,541
- It happened just like that.
- The Countess knows what is proper .

134
00:12:27,541 --> 00:12:30,941
- Are you sure?
- Are not you ?

135
00:12:31,701 --> 00:12:35,981
<i> - Messieurs , </ i> good evening .
 - Bonsoir . </ i></i>

136
00:12:40,581 --> 00:12:45,261
It easily becomes a villain .
Not true Speidel ?

137
00:12:47,581 --> 00:12:53,341
Here at Calvados Coast
we still have a gap of 40 kilometers.

138
00:12:53,341 --> 00:12:57,581
If the tanks will not
it looks dark.

139
00:12:57,581 --> 00:13:03,101
The Führer has promised to curb units
will . You get your tanks.

140
00:13:04,141 --> 00:13:08,461
We must move obstacles ahead ,
Marcks .

141
00:13:08,461 --> 00:13:12,261
The Allies
practice landing at low tide now.

142
00:13:12,261 --> 00:13:16,701
So it looks . But we 'll give them
long way to the beach.

143
00:13:16,701 --> 00:13:21,581
How ? I can not tire out the men
with pick and shovel .

144
00:13:21,581 --> 00:13:24,781
I have rested soldiers.

145
00:13:24,781 --> 00:13:30,301
That's the problem . Your men are too
rested after three years of beach vacations.

146
00:13:30,301 --> 00:13:35,541
See the doctor Speidel . He was
on the eastern front , but he laments ?

147
00:13:35,541 --> 00:13:39,141
I lost my leg on the eastern front.

148
00:13:39,141 --> 00:13:42,341
And with all due respect , I tell you :

149
00:13:42,341 --> 00:13:46,901
Your plan requires a minimum of one year.
Anyone who says otherwise ...

150
00:13:46,901 --> 00:13:51,661
- ... Hide the truth or does not know.
- What do you imagine ?

151
00:13:51,661 --> 00:13:56,821
The Führer has given me orders to
prevent the Allied landing .

152
00:13:56,821 --> 00:14:00,861
And a slacker like you
should not hinder me.

153
00:14:00,861 --> 00:14:03,701
Now make sure to get the job done.

154
00:14:05,501 --> 00:14:07,661
Yes.

155
00:14:11,741 --> 00:14:17,261
Maybe it was a little rough , but otherwise
nothing happens here , believe me.

156
00:14:17,261 --> 00:14:19,941
Wait, Marcks .

157
00:14:20,541 --> 00:14:26,941
- He knows Marcks is absolutely right.
- Your men have been frequent . Sorry.

158
00:14:28,501 --> 00:14:31,061
PARIS
April 25, 1944

159
00:14:44,701 --> 00:14:47,661
German military ADMINISTRATION

160
00:14:51,141 --> 00:14:53,581
It has happened to some here , Hans.

161
00:14:53,581 --> 00:15:00,821
Paris Jews was sent to the East,
but traffic continues ...

162
00:15:02,261 --> 00:15:07,221
And SS chasing even Jewish children ,
that residents are hiding .

163
00:15:10,021 --> 00:15:13,261
The local SS last idea.

164
00:15:13,261 --> 00:15:18,861
Resistance bomb stations and
then exploded even wagons are doors .

165
00:15:18,861 --> 00:15:23,701
Some Jews fled. To prevent
there transported the now bare.

166
00:15:28,261 --> 00:15:30,621
Come on .

167
00:15:37,941 --> 00:15:42,261
Colonel Hofacker ,
Count Stauffenberg's cousin.

168
00:15:44,181 --> 00:15:46,021
- General.
- Nice to meet you .

169
00:15:46,021 --> 00:15:51,301
Berlin would finally act.
Therefore, they asked me to trust myself to you .

170
00:15:51,301 --> 00:15:55,101
- It's about Rommel .
- Rommel ?

171
00:15:55,101 --> 00:15:59,301
Can he convince
to participate in kupplanerna ?

172
00:16:00,621 --> 00:16:05,861
He will do anything to succeed in the West.
He wants to prevent the invasion.

173
00:16:05,861 --> 00:16:10,301
Convince him. Is Rommel with ,
we get the support of the front.

174
00:16:10,301 --> 00:16:14,741
And of the people. Do not forget
he is our most popular general .

175
00:16:18,221 --> 00:16:23,741
A major step : from Fuhrer minion
the figurehead of the coup.

176
00:16:23,741 --> 00:16:27,221
- But the only thing possible .
- I must see him.

177
00:16:27,221 --> 00:16:32,181
Preferably without the Gestapo know .
Can you arrange that?

178
00:16:37,461 --> 00:16:41,181
Rommel HEADQUARTERS
April 28, 1944

179
00:17:02,381 --> 00:17:07,621
- Guderian decides on the tanks .
- Not Führer ?

180
00:17:07,621 --> 00:17:14,461
Führer asked me to inspect them and
submit recommendation. What do you think ?

181
00:17:14,461 --> 00:17:19,421
It should be the second Panzer division ,
Geyr . Yet is this .

182
00:17:21,181 --> 00:17:27,181
The enemy disembark quickly airborne
divisions with anti-tank guns .

183
00:17:27,181 --> 00:17:33,621
That's why the tanks no avail
the coast, with the enemy in the back.

184
00:17:33,621 --> 00:17:39,821
The enemy does your tanks to reach
coast and can build their beachhead .

185
00:17:45,781 --> 00:17:50,461
How do you protect our tanks
from their sjöartilleri ?

186
00:17:50,461 --> 00:17:53,061
We bury them.

187
00:17:54,501 --> 00:17:57,221
- Bury them?
- Yes.

188
00:17:57,221 --> 00:18:04,261
Is not their strength in combination
of armor , firepower and mobility?

189
00:18:05,101 --> 00:18:11,421
During the campaign against France was traveling
s spökdivision not fast enough.

190
00:18:12,621 --> 00:18:16,581
Führer has expressly approved
my plans.

191
00:18:16,581 --> 00:18:18,861
He has not decided yet.

192
00:18:18,861 --> 00:18:23,741
Until then reads armored divisions
under the Commander in the West.

193
00:18:25,741 --> 00:18:28,421
Then we can end this now.

194
00:18:36,981 --> 00:18:41,701
It did not go well in Africa.
Now he wants to be something here.

195
00:18:41,701 --> 00:18:44,101
Get him to see reason .

196
00:18:44,101 --> 00:18:50,301
He can not prevent an attack
with infantry hiding behind tanks.

197
00:18:50,301 --> 00:18:53,861
- Field Marshal knows what he's doing.
- Really?

198
00:18:53,861 --> 00:18:58,981
Actually , he has never been more
than a viable division commander .

199
00:19:13,141 --> 00:19:17,861
So it is with the Führer. The last
who meets him is always right.

200
00:19:17,861 --> 00:19:20,421
Let's go a round , Speidel .

201
00:19:22,261 --> 00:19:26,621
Rundstedt is old and tired.
He gave up a long time ago .

202
00:19:26,621 --> 00:19:29,861
And Guderian has been a yes men .

203
00:19:30,901 --> 00:19:33,501
Take the consequences.

204
00:19:34,661 --> 00:19:38,221
- Take matters into your own hands.
- What do you mean?

205
00:19:41,661 --> 00:19:46,181
Request to be commander in chief in the West.
Give Hitler an ultimatum .

206
00:19:46,181 --> 00:19:51,181
- He needs you. You are well-liked.
- Should I threaten Führer ?

207
00:19:51,181 --> 00:19:56,501
- If you want to prevent the invasion.
- So, you achieve nothing with the Führer.

208
00:19:56,501 --> 00:20:00,861
Less you , recognize the people and the Fuhrer
that the war can not be won .

209
00:20:00,861 --> 00:20:06,461
Quiet, Speidel . I want you here
as chief of staff a while.

210
00:20:08,421 --> 00:20:12,901
- What liberally to let them stay here.
- Thoughtless , you mean ?

211
00:20:12,901 --> 00:20:17,301
The French aristocracy
fear the Bolsheviks more than we do.

212
00:20:17,301 --> 00:20:21,381
Count worship the Fuhrer .
That kid man is his son.

213
00:20:23,061 --> 00:20:25,821
As old as our Manfred.

214
00:20:25,821 --> 00:20:28,941
Our son is air defense aide in Ulm.

215
00:20:28,941 --> 00:20:32,821
Recently , he wanted to join the Waffen- SS.

216
00:20:32,821 --> 00:20:36,261
I forbade him to do so.

217
00:20:36,261 --> 00:20:39,821
Now you may ask , but ...

218
00:20:39,821 --> 00:20:44,421
You know, I 've heard
terrible stories .

219
00:20:44,421 --> 00:20:50,741
If the mass executions . and massacres
of Jews in the occupied territories .

220
00:20:50,741 --> 00:20:55,101
You were on the eastern front .
Can you confirm this?

221
00:20:55,101 --> 00:20:59,661
It also takes place in France.
They yet deporting Jews.

222
00:20:59,661 --> 00:21:04,381
SS searching through
for hidden Jewish children .

223
00:21:05,421 --> 00:21:08,941
- How do you know?
- In Paris, army management , there ...

224
00:21:08,941 --> 00:21:11,381
... those who do not find themselves in it .

225
00:21:13,221 --> 00:21:18,621
So yeah ... You have to get used to the lightning
and thunder to be a soldier .

226
00:21:18,621 --> 00:21:22,741
Our Manfred cried too
when he was photographed .

227
00:21:22,741 --> 00:21:29,541
Stülpnagel . Speidel cheated well not here
me to calm screaming babies?

228
00:21:29,541 --> 00:21:31,261
A MANSION NEAR PARIS
14 MAJ 1944

229
00:21:31,261 --> 00:21:37,221
In case of extreme emergency must
forcing Hitler to yield.

230
00:21:37,221 --> 00:21:41,861
- What do you mean by "force" ?
- To arrest him .

231
00:21:41,861 --> 00:21:47,461
And bring him to justice for
the crimes he has committed in the name of the people .

232
00:21:47,461 --> 00:21:51,381
Mr von Stülpnagel ,
what you are proposing is a military coup.

233
00:21:51,381 --> 00:21:56,181
Do you think you can find a single general
ready for that?

234
00:21:56,181 --> 00:22:01,181
A group of prominent men
at our disposal .

235
00:22:01,181 --> 00:22:04,621
There have been coup plans
even earlier.

236
00:22:04,621 --> 00:22:08,701
Some yielded their
to liberate Germany from Hitler.

237
00:22:08,701 --> 00:22:11,061
Daring to their lives ?

238
00:22:12,661 --> 00:22:16,861
- An attack , then?
- Not if it can be avoided .

239
00:22:20,341 --> 00:22:22,941
Know all about it?

240
00:22:22,941 --> 00:22:26,981
- Only in Berlin , the details .
- It is high treason.

241
00:22:26,981 --> 00:22:29,981
Hitler betray long Germany.

242
00:22:29,981 --> 00:22:36,101
Closes we are not at peace with the Allies
Now , the Russians take Berlin in the autumn.

243
00:22:37,141 --> 00:22:40,741
Although you have sworn an oath .
Do not forget it .

244
00:22:51,541 --> 00:22:54,461
Now he runs to the Führer .

245
00:23:20,301 --> 00:23:23,941
How long have you known
these plans ?

246
00:23:23,941 --> 00:23:26,421
A while.

247
00:23:26,421 --> 00:23:30,381
You know what is required of me
the obedient soldier.

248
00:23:31,421 --> 00:23:34,061
Do what you must do.

249
00:23:39,541 --> 00:23:42,141
Damn it .

250
00:23:47,101 --> 00:23:50,181
Give it here . It can be mended .

251
00:23:56,901 --> 00:24:01,021
FRANCE , THE CHANNEL COAST

Watch out ! They come, they come !
Here we go ! It begins!

254
00:25:10,701 --> 00:25:12,581
Miss. Damn, then.

255

Speidel , dammit . What is happening?

256
00:25:19,101 --> 00:25:21,901
Have Englishmen landed ?

257
00:25:21,901 --> 00:25:27,541
- A British raid averted near Calais .
- On the Channel coast ?

258
00:25:27,541 --> 00:25:32,261
A British military officers were arrested.
He was handed over to the Gestapo.

259
00:25:32,261 --> 00:25:35,861
- In Paris ?
- You can be the chain of command.

260
00:25:54,181 --> 00:25:57,901
SS HEADQUARTERS IN PARIS
21 MAJ 1944

261

262
00:26:07,501 --> 00:26:11,501
Good, Lieutenant General .
We'll take him.

263
00:26:11,501 --> 00:26:14,581
- What ?
- Rommel want to meet him.

264

You can command the order. he
to be executed as soon as he talked .

265
00:26:21,421 --> 00:26:25,461
- He certainly has not spoken yet.
- Within 12 hours , you know ...

266
00:26:25,461 --> 00:26:31,301
- ... Where and when the invasion occurs.
- Certainly. But we have our methods.

267
00:26:32,621 --> 00:26:36,341
You tell enough for me
if your methods sometime.

268
00:26:36,341 --> 00:26:39,181
Feel it . - Take him away .

- Here is the British lieutenant .
- Take off his handcuffs .

271
00:27:14,181 --> 00:27:18,301
How is my old friend Montgomery?
- Translate .

272
00:27:18,301 --> 00:27:22,741
- He understands you.
- How the Brits want war now?

273
00:27:22,741 --> 00:27:28,061
- And what was there in Africa?
- Tjafs . Compared to what awaits .

274
00:27:29,021 --> 00:27:32,061
Have a seat .

275
00:27:39,581 --> 00:27:42,581
Well , Lieutenant ...

276
00:27:45,101 --> 00:27:48,701
Actually , we have the same enemy .

277
00:27:48,701 --> 00:27:51,101
And he 's in Russia.

278
00:27:52,101 --> 00:27:56,701
- Why do we fight not side by side?
- It would be hard .

279
00:27:56,701 --> 00:28:01,901
We Brits think that certain things
you Germans do, is disgusting.

280
00:28:01,901 --> 00:28:05,821
- What do you mean?
- The way you treat Jews .

281
00:28:05,821 --> 00:28:11,061
It's politics. We are soldiers.
We have nothing to do with politics .

282
00:28:12,101 --> 00:28:16,621
That your Führer exterminate an entire people ,
is it just politics?

283
00:28:23,221 --> 00:28:27,661
- It could change.
- It's too late , Field Marshal .

284

286
00:28:54,141 --> 00:28:57,341
And command the order, then?

287
00:28:57,341 --> 00:29:01,301
- What do you know about it?
- You hear a lot.

288
00:29:01,301 --> 00:29:05,301
- I'll make sure nothing happens to him .
- But can you do it?

289
00:29:05,301 --> 00:29:11,541
- Yes , I'm the commander in chief .
- There are many in France.

290
00:29:11,541 --> 00:29:14,221
And then there's the SS.

291
00:29:17,861 --> 00:29:21,021
Countess . Wait a minute.

292
00:29:34,821 --> 00:29:41,221
Excuse me ... but can you get hold of
those here in Paris?

293
00:29:41,221 --> 00:29:45,501
- For my wife's birthday.
- You have good taste.

294
00:29:46,541 --> 00:29:50,301
S uncle hope
that we can beat back the enemy.

295
00:29:50,301 --> 00:29:52,461
What do you hope ?

296
00:29:54,301 --> 00:29:57,941
- Who are you ?
- We are lost , whatever.

297
00:30:02,701 --> 00:30:06,941
Given our fortifications,
morale of the troops -

298
00:30:06,941 --> 00:30:11,061
- Our new armament
and the weapons we have been given -

299
00:30:11,061 --> 00:30:15,061
- We look forward to coming times
with great calm .

300
00:30:15,061 --> 00:30:17,021
And ...

301
00:30:18,061 --> 00:30:22,381
... do not worry
about how it should go. It's fine .

302
00:30:22,381 --> 00:30:27,301
And I do not
that the British are returning for a second time .

303
00:30:28,981 --> 00:30:32,581
- Was it good?
- Excellent . Very convincing.

304
00:30:32,581 --> 00:30:35,541
Good .

305
00:30:35,541 --> 00:30:40,421
I heard that a British soldier
was captured in Calais.

306
00:30:40,421 --> 00:30:46,181
- Do you believe that the invasion happens there ?
- The place where you least expect it .

307
00:30:46,181 --> 00:30:48,421
Then they learn to come to me .

308
00:30:48,421 --> 00:30:54,461
They go to church on Sunday , will set sail
on Monday and will be here on Tuesday.

309
00:30:54,461 --> 00:30:58,581
- Why do you think that?
- My birthday is on Tuesday.

310
00:30:58,581 --> 00:31:01,741
- My wife too.
- There you are .

311
00:31:01,741 --> 00:31:05,541
From the high command ,
Colonel General Jodl .

312
00:31:10,941 --> 00:31:13,741
- Hell .
- Bad news ?

313
00:31:25,101 --> 00:31:31,221
Führer gives me three armored divisions .
The rest I ask later.

314
00:31:31,221 --> 00:31:37,301
Should I send a written request
when the enemy lands ?

315
00:31:37,301 --> 00:31:39,501
I have to meet Hitler.

316
00:31:39,501 --> 00:31:44,301
He gets misinformation
of the bad guys around him.

317
00:31:44,301 --> 00:31:48,501
- Do you really believe that?
- You and your friends do not believe it .

318
00:31:48,501 --> 00:31:53,261
But what do you expect ?
That I passively watching the chaos ?

319
00:31:53,261 --> 00:31:59,061
I do not remember as commander
who led his soldiers to slaughter.

320
00:31:59,061 --> 00:32:03,341
- There are other options .
- I do not believe in them.

321
00:32:04,221 --> 00:32:09,661
Put me through to the Führer's headquarters.
The Fuehrer 's adjutant . I can not wait.

322
00:32:12,381 --> 00:32:16,861
Do you like shoes?
A birthday present for my wife.

323
00:32:16,861 --> 00:32:19,741
Very elegant . She'll be happy enough.

324
00:32:19,741 --> 00:32:24,501
It will be storm and very cloudy
until 10 June.

325
00:32:24,501 --> 00:32:27,141
So you can safely go .

326
00:32:28,781 --> 00:32:32,781
- A good trip.
- Keep track of everything here.

327
00:32:32,781 --> 00:32:36,621
<i> - Monsieur , le comte .
- Pour votre épouse . < / I ></i>

328
00:32:37,181 --> 00:32:41,341
<i>- To your wife a happy birthday.
- Oh,  merci . </ I></i>

329
00:32:41,341 --> 00:32:45,101
<i> - Au revoir .
- Au revoir . </ I></i>

330
00:32:51,501 --> 00:32:57,661
<i> One thing is certain . invasion set
enemy facing a crushing down ... </ i></i>

331
00:33:08,901 --> 00:33:11,741
There you are , Manfred.

332
00:33:13,221 --> 00:33:16,661
- Good day , Father.
- Good day , my son.

333
00:33:16,661 --> 00:33:20,261
- You look good in uniform.
- Can I still take it ?

334
00:33:20,261 --> 00:33:25,101
He must be back tonight .
He got permission , but did not .

335
00:33:26,661 --> 00:33:32,381
Very good . I'm proud of you.
Go to your room, we'll see you later.

336
00:33:35,821 --> 00:33:39,701
He is sorry that you were against
he joined the Waffen- SS.

337
00:33:39,701 --> 00:33:42,541
I have not changed my mind .

338
00:33:44,581 --> 00:33:46,981
I'm glad you could come.

339
00:33:46,981 --> 00:33:50,301
I'm going to the Führer .
Problems in France.

340
00:33:50,301 --> 00:33:53,461
Put yourself . You seem a little irritable.

341
00:33:58,941 --> 00:34:05,061
Lu, do you remember where
as Strölin recently told ?

342
00:34:05,741 --> 00:34:10,221
- That the gas kill Jews in the East?
- Please stop .

343
00:34:10,221 --> 00:34:14,141
Strölin a Nazi
and Lord Mayor of Stuttgart.

344
00:34:14,141 --> 00:34:18,541
Although he has sent Jews to the East.
Why does he say so ?

345
00:34:18,541 --> 00:34:22,541
It happens even in France,
before my eyes .

346
00:34:24,981 --> 00:34:27,901
I thought there were isolated cases.

347
00:34:29,821 --> 00:34:32,861
But those at the top are not decent .

348
00:34:33,901 --> 00:34:36,661
What do you mean by "those at the top" ?

349
00:34:42,421 --> 00:34:46,581
You know where we live ,
what was here before.

350
00:34:46,581 --> 00:34:49,061
Yes.

351
00:34:49,061 --> 00:34:54,541
- A jew boarding school.
- Then we should move.

352
00:34:55,581 --> 00:34:57,221
Do not believe that.

353
00:34:58,461 --> 00:35:03,261
We are not preventing him from speaking
in radio , he gets to the masses .

354
00:35:03,261 --> 00:35:06,541
We must be
as eloquent as Hitler.

355
00:35:06,541 --> 00:35:11,341
Are we not,
it does not help with an attack .

356
00:35:14,221 --> 00:35:17,941
- Yes, Colonel ?
- A radio monitors ...

357
00:35:17,941 --> 00:35:20,861
perceived ... the end of the message.

358
00:35:20,861 --> 00:35:26,741
Colonel General von Salmuth has set
the whole army on alert in Calais.

359
00:35:26,741 --> 00:35:29,421
Should I alert the seventh in Normandy ?

360
00:35:29,421 --> 00:35:33,181
Call Rundstedts staff .
Let them decide.

361
00:35:37,501 --> 00:35:40,261
So here we go ...

362
00:35:40,261 --> 00:35:43,341
It's probably just the usual hysteria .

363
00:35:43,341 --> 00:35:47,421
NORMANDY
6 JUNI 1944 , 01:00

364
00:35:48,621 --> 00:35:51,541
There they are. I knew it.

365
00:35:53,421 --> 00:35:57,021
Notify Rommel's staff
it starts now.

366
00:36:11,901 --> 00:36:16,141
- What is the situation in Calais ?
- The country set there too.

367
00:36:16,141 --> 00:36:21,941
With cargo glider . The two prisoners
there will be more land subsidence .

368
00:36:21,941 --> 00:36:25,101
We can send 21 to Normandy.

369
00:36:27,421 --> 00:36:32,941
Commander of the 21st unresponsive.
He is in Paris with his chief of staff.

370
00:36:32,941 --> 00:36:36,421
- What ?
- General Speidel . Phone .

371
00:36:38,821 --> 00:36:41,021
Yes ?

372
00:36:42,061 --> 00:36:47,221
Roger that. Very good . Thank you.
And happy birthday , sir.

373
00:36:48,261 --> 00:36:52,781
It was Marcks .
The British are attacking with straw dolls.

374
00:36:53,821 --> 00:36:58,221
But he thinks he can handle it
on their own.

375
00:37:00,341 --> 00:37:05,101
- What do we do now ?
- Yes, what? We go to bed.

376
00:37:07,301 --> 00:37:12,941
Normandy, 06:00

377
00:37:12,941 --> 00:37:17,901
ONLY ON THE LIGHT OF WINDOW
AND DOORS ARE CLOSED

378
00:37:17,901 --> 00:37:21,981
E ARMY Karens PICKET

379
00:37:35,701 --> 00:37:40,501
British sjöartilleri .
Churchill happy birthday .

380
00:37:46,981 --> 00:37:51,261
OMAHA BEACH
NORMANDY , 06:30

381
00:38:13,781 --> 00:38:18,021
Rommel HOME
In MEN LINGEN , 09:00

382
00:38:27,821 --> 00:38:32,621
Armed Forces ordered me to deliver
these flowers to your wife.

383
00:38:32,621 --> 00:38:36,141
With heartfelt congratulations
from Führer .

384
00:38:45,861 --> 00:38:50,021
Take good care of them , Karolina .
They are from the Führer.

385
00:38:54,101 --> 00:38:58,141
Commander Loistl , Army Group B.

386
00:38:58,141 --> 00:39:01,141
Sure . Just a moment .

387
00:39:07,821 --> 00:39:11,421
You have a telephone, Field Marshal .

388
00:39:11,421 --> 00:39:14,661
It must be Fuhrer headquarters.

389
00:39:20,141 --> 00:39:24,261
Yes ? Speidel ? What gives?

390
00:39:24,261 --> 00:39:28,581
Have they landed ? Where?
How does our counterattack ?

391
00:39:29,621 --> 00:39:34,661
Let division attack directly .
Do not wait for reinforcements. Seizures.

392
00:39:49,701 --> 00:39:53,381
- I'm sorry.
- It can not be helped.

393
00:39:53,381 --> 00:39:57,181
- Now, in all cases the waiting over .
- Yes.

394
00:39:59,461 --> 00:40:02,781
Take care, Lu . Take care.

395
00:40:29,781 --> 00:40:32,301
They do not fit , Karolina .

396
00:40:32,901 --> 00:40:36,421
Rommel HEADQUARTERS ,
22:30

397
00:40:46,741 --> 00:40:50,261
We are the General Staff of the bunker.

398
00:40:50,261 --> 00:40:53,301
I hope it looks better now.

399
00:40:53,301 --> 00:40:58,741
The enemy has already landed
150,000 heavily armed soldiers.

400
00:40:58,741 --> 00:41:04,461
They control 130 square kilometers.
British 6th Airborne Division -

401
00:41:04,461 --> 00:41:07,741
- Have taken the bridge over the Orne .

402
00:41:07,741 --> 00:41:14,061
They also crushed our artillery
Merville , albeit with heavy losses .

403
00:41:14,061 --> 00:41:18,821
- Is that all?
- The information is scarce.

404
00:41:18,821 --> 00:41:21,701
Radio traffic disturbed by the enemy.

405
00:41:21,701 --> 00:41:26,821
The French have sabotaged
telephone lines and roads maintenance .

406
00:41:26,821 --> 00:41:30,781
We must expect
a second major offensive .

407
00:41:30,781 --> 00:41:33,981
They have darkened the coast at Dover.

408
00:41:33,981 --> 00:41:38,901
Say it out loud , Speidel .
You have failed .

409
00:41:44,661 --> 00:41:49,741
Fuhrer HEADQUARTERS
In MARGIVAL , 17 JUNI 1944

410
00:42:01,381 --> 00:42:04,741
Field Marshal Erna von Rundstedt
and Rommel .

411
00:42:11,701 --> 00:42:15,141
Thanks for coming .
Go ahead and sit down.

412
00:42:19,581 --> 00:42:26,381
I must say I am speechless over
your local masters failures.

413
00:42:26,381 --> 00:42:30,141
The armed forces were taken by surprise
with his pants down .

414
00:42:30,141 --> 00:42:33,621
That says a lot
about the condition of your soldiers .

415
00:42:33,621 --> 00:42:36,941
That's the enemy propaganda.

416
00:42:36,941 --> 00:42:41,101
Call it what you want.
But the landing was not hindered .

417
00:42:41,101 --> 00:42:46,461
- What you assured would happen.
- The forces fighting sacrificing.

418
00:42:46,461 --> 00:42:52,701
That we could not prevent the invasion
is anti-aircraft and naval wrong.

419
00:42:52,701 --> 00:42:57,181
The Army has made ??a superhuman effort
in an unequal battle.

420
00:42:57,181 --> 00:43:02,101
But the enemy's superiority in the air
and that their fleet had to work undisturbed

421
00:43:02,101 --> 00:43:06,461
- Made it impossible
to fight the enemy as planned.

422
00:43:07,781 --> 00:43:14,781
It is unfortunate that no ... for over -
command knew the situation at the front.

423
00:43:14,781 --> 00:43:18,821
Instead
believed in the enemy's propaganda.

424
00:43:18,821 --> 00:43:24,661
It is crucial to maintain Cherbourg .
If not, take the enemy Normandy

425
00:43:24,661 --> 00:43:27,701
- And maybe all of France.

426
00:43:31,381 --> 00:43:38,381
We must choose between keeping ...
Cherbourg ... and to prevent the enemy .

427
00:43:38,381 --> 00:43:41,101
We can not do both.

428
00:43:41,101 --> 00:43:44,461
Do you have the same opinion , von Rundstedt ?

429
00:43:44,461 --> 00:43:48,901
We must give up the rigid system
by Peninsula

430
00:43:48,901 --> 00:43:54,341
- And embark on an orderly retreat
to the port and fortress .

431
00:43:54,341 --> 00:43:58,821
And at Caen, in front of Orne,
we should avoid ...

432
00:43:58,821 --> 00:44:04,461
We will not know anything! It applies
to stand up, hold on and die!

433
00:44:04,461 --> 00:44:08,941
Designate a particular skilled commander
Cherbourg .

434
00:44:08,941 --> 00:44:15,421
Show field groomsmen how devastating
our retaliation is the enemy.

435
00:44:18,821 --> 00:44:25,141
Since yesterday , we have continually fired
V1 missiles against London.

436
00:44:25,141 --> 00:44:28,381
All bar one ton of explosives .

437
00:44:28,381 --> 00:44:31,341
We have received many great hits .

438
00:44:31,341 --> 00:44:37,181
According to our agents can handle civil
population not much more, and ...

439
00:44:37,181 --> 00:44:41,181
A hostile bomb dressing
approaching our airspace .

440
00:44:43,741 --> 00:44:47,701
My Führer , we should probably
go to the shelter.

441
00:45:04,261 --> 00:45:09,061
And now ? We need to tell
that the situation is hopeless.

442
00:45:09,061 --> 00:45:13,101
- He only listens to you.
- You are the commander in chief in the West.

443
00:45:13,101 --> 00:45:18,461
My power is just enough to move
my guards from left to right.

444
00:45:37,541 --> 00:45:42,261
My Führer , you know
I am your faithful servant.

445
00:45:42,261 --> 00:45:45,661
- Can I ?
- Have a seat .

446
00:45:58,741 --> 00:46:00,741
Do not you think ...

447
00:46:01,781 --> 00:46:05,701
... it's time
to consider other options?

448
00:46:11,141 --> 00:46:14,941
- What do you mean?
- To negotiate .

449
00:46:20,021 --> 00:46:23,061
No longer want to negotiate with me.

450
00:46:23,061 --> 00:46:26,861
The enemy thinks obliterate Germany.

451
00:46:26,861 --> 00:46:32,501
Now we only have each individual
fanatical resistance.

452
00:46:33,541 --> 00:46:35,901
Are you prepared for that?

453
00:46:37,901 --> 00:46:40,661
Are you prepared for it, Rommel ?

454
00:46:42,261 --> 00:46:43,541
Yes.

455
00:46:55,661 --> 00:47:00,581
" Where knowledge and ability ends
and intuition takes over " -

456
00:47:00,581 --> 00:47:05,301
- " In the sensory perception ability
and inspiration " -

457
00:47:05,301 --> 00:47:10,101
- "Are general's leadership.
It possesses Rommel . "

458
00:47:10,101 --> 00:47:12,981
You certainly amuses you .

459
00:47:14,301 --> 00:47:17,661
- General Field Marshal .
- Good criticism?

460
00:47:17,661 --> 00:47:19,901
Here you are.

461
00:47:24,181 --> 00:47:27,301
Fuehrer wants to keep Cherbourg .

462
00:47:27,301 --> 00:47:30,021
And stand west of the Orne .

463
00:47:30,021 --> 00:47:33,781
Begin the necessary preparations ,
Speidel .

464
00:47:33,781 --> 00:47:37,901
Can General Marcks do
a diversion ?

465
00:47:37,901 --> 00:47:42,021
General Marcks killed
in a hostile air attack .

466
00:47:45,541 --> 00:47:49,301
Do you want today's total loss figures?

467
00:47:50,741 --> 00:47:53,341
No, it is not necessary.

468
00:47:53,981 --> 00:47:56,501
Gentlemen .

469
00:48:09,421 --> 00:48:13,341
GERMAN POSITION NEAR CAEN
20 JUNI 1944

470
00:48:20,261 --> 00:48:25,221
Once you have taken the height , you protect
road to Bayeux. Best of luck.

471
00:48:25,221 --> 00:48:27,661
Thank you, Field Marshal .

472
00:48:30,541 --> 00:48:36,061
- Let the Brits have a fiery !
- Yes, Field Marshal !

473
00:48:36,061 --> 00:48:38,061
Good .

474
00:48:41,181 --> 00:48:44,861
- Good luck.
- Thank you, Field Marshal .

475
00:49:17,661 --> 00:49:23,301
- Back , Daniel. We must return.
- It is madness . We must here .

476
00:49:24,101 --> 00:49:26,061
Oh well ...

477
00:49:27,621 --> 00:49:31,861
Well, Daniel. Run.

478
00:50:07,261 --> 00:50:11,341
Who's there?
Come forward . Hello?

479
00:50:12,701 --> 00:50:14,821
<i> Bonsoir . < / i ></i>

480
00:50:14,821 --> 00:50:18,661
Sorry. It was not supposed
to scare you.

481
00:50:18,661 --> 00:50:23,621
- What are the Countess this?
- I often come here . It's beautiful.

482
00:50:23,621 --> 00:50:28,781
Our soldiers may think you are
partisan, or British agent .

483
00:50:28,781 --> 00:50:33,221
- Maybe I am.
- Then I might look up.

484
00:50:33,221 --> 00:50:38,141
- I would be a great trophy for the British.
- Yes. Desert Fox .

485
00:50:38,901 --> 00:50:45,141
Long time no see . Now I am only he
who could not stop the invasion .

486
00:50:45,141 --> 00:50:49,821
- I'm sorry you do it?
- I am a soldier. Do not forget it .

487
00:50:53,021 --> 00:50:57,981
I 'll tell the men
that you are walking around up here.

488
00:51:02,141 --> 00:51:04,741
<i> Dear Lu . I'm fine . </ I></i>

489
00:51:04,741 --> 00:51:09,821
<i> I must not lose heart .
Although much hope has been dashed . </ I></i>

490
00:51:09,821 --> 00:51:11,781
Yes ?

491
00:51:14,701 --> 00:51:19,181
The Russians have broken through
Army Group Mitte.

492
00:51:19,181 --> 00:51:23,981
Seven German divisions have surrendered.
The front is in dissolution .

493
00:51:31,381 --> 00:51:34,021
It's probably out of the east.

494
00:51:34,021 --> 00:51:36,621
Yes.

495
00:51:36,621 --> 00:51:39,861
It will be nice when next week is over.

496
00:51:44,301 --> 00:51:47,541
There was one more thing.

497
00:51:57,501 --> 00:52:02,661
- Where is it?
- Småstaden Oradour , near Limoges .

498
00:52:02,661 --> 00:52:06,941
a SS- Panzer division
leveled it to the ground.

499
00:52:06,941 --> 00:52:11,781
All residents were killed ...
which 450 women and children.

500
00:52:11,781 --> 00:52:16,941
- Revenge of the abducted SS officer .
- How do you know this?

501
00:52:16,941 --> 00:52:21,821
Army management .
Stülpnagel have already protested.

502
00:52:21,821 --> 00:52:27,541
Hitler has banned the responsible
officer successor to justice.

503
00:52:29,101 --> 00:52:31,021
Really?

504
00:52:41,101 --> 00:52:43,341
Good night.

505
00:52:50,821 --> 00:52:52,981
Good night.

506
00:53:00,701 --> 00:53:06,461
Poor bastards . Mom said I should
thank God that I ended up with you.

507
00:53:06,461 --> 00:53:10,421
- Why?
- With you , nothing can happen to me.

508
00:53:48,301 --> 00:53:52,741
The new quartermaster ,
Colonel Finckh , has come now.

509
00:53:52,741 --> 00:53:57,261
- He wants to present itself .
- Good, I will soon.

510
00:53:57,261 --> 00:54:00,501
- Field Marshal ...
- What is it?

511
00:54:02,021 --> 00:54:08,661
Führer want you to do a dissipative
attacks against Americans in Cherbourg .

512
00:54:08,661 --> 00:54:12,421
He wants to 7th Army, advancing
on the west flank.

513
00:54:12,421 --> 00:54:18,901
Explain that we are only able to keep
our defense line in western Normandy.

514
00:54:18,901 --> 00:54:22,101
The front is inappropriate for an attack.

515
00:54:27,901 --> 00:54:31,141
Today telephoned General Marcks brother.

516
00:54:31,141 --> 00:54:35,541
He wanted to know exactly to the minute
when the general died .

517
00:54:35,541 --> 00:54:37,061
Why ?

518
00:54:37,061 --> 00:54:42,221
At 11 o'clock that day fell general's
photo down from the wall of his brother.

519
00:54:42,221 --> 00:54:46,021
- And ?
- General met ten forty-five .

520
00:54:46,021 --> 00:54:50,701
- Exactly 11 , he died . Unbelievable, huh ?
- Do you believe in miracles ?

521
00:54:50,701 --> 00:54:55,381
It just makes Hitler. LEASTWAYS
what the course of the war .

522
00:54:55,381 --> 00:55:01,341
"Do not say bridgehead , but the last part
of France as the enemy occupying. "

523
00:55:02,941 --> 00:55:06,341
Cherbourg fall within three days.

524
00:55:06,341 --> 00:55:11,181
Within four weeks of the enemy breaks through
and storms to the Reich frontier .

525
00:55:11,181 --> 00:55:16,461
We can only pray that the Allies
is faster than the Russians.

526
00:55:18,381 --> 00:55:24,141
- You are not alone in thinking so .
- I think everyone here agrees .

527
00:55:25,181 --> 00:55:28,261
Not true, Dr. Speidel ?

528
00:55:29,221 --> 00:55:36,061
Hitler is furious. He can not
draw conclusions or make decisions.

529
00:55:36,061 --> 00:55:41,221
Just saying : "To the last man ,"
gives nothing , except a disaster.

530
00:55:42,021 --> 00:55:46,261
The idea of ??an attack on Cherbourg
is pure idiocy .

531
00:55:49,421 --> 00:55:54,141
You 're the only ELIGIBLE Germany .
To end the war .

532
00:55:54,141 --> 00:55:58,741
- There are others who are for war.
- Then it is they who must be shot .

533
00:55:58,741 --> 00:56:01,581
If it is not possible otherwise .

534
00:56:01,581 --> 00:56:05,981
Good God, Speidel .
You 're a true warrior .

535
00:56:06,901 --> 00:56:09,421
<i> Battle of Cherbourg , </ i ></i>

536
00:56:09,421 --> 00:56:14,021
<i> - the enemy has devastated
large parts of the city ... </ i></i>

537
00:56:14,021 --> 00:56:20,221
<i> On the odd factories and bases
fluttering banner of resistance yet . </ i></i>

538
00:56:20,221 --> 00:56:27,821
<i> yet waged hot , bloody battles
on city streets. </ i></i>

539
00:56:28,461 --> 00:56:32,701
Rommel HEADQUARTERS
25 JUNI 1944

540
00:56:34,061 --> 00:56:38,261
From General von Schlieben :
" The final battle of Cherbourg . "

541
00:56:38,261 --> 00:56:42,421
" We attacked with tanks.
Where is fly in aid? "

542
00:56:43,461 --> 00:56:49,261
" Flight Over The aid can not
penetrate hostile roadblocks . "

543
00:56:49,261 --> 00:56:54,941
" The Fuhrer's orders , you shall fight
to the last bullet . May God be with you. "

544
00:56:54,941 --> 00:57:00,621
Fuhrer's orders were to the last man .
Should you really undermine it?

545
00:57:00,621 --> 00:57:06,461
- Male or bullet, what is the difference?
- Kula means surrender, not dead.

546
00:57:08,581 --> 00:57:12,381
I hope that the general interpretation of the
just like that.

547
00:57:22,901 --> 00:57:28,541
<i> Armed Forces in Cherbourg entered
in the German hero story , </ i ></i>

548
00:57:28,541 --> 00:57:31,301
<i> - and made ??himself immortal . </ i></i>

549
00:57:31,301 --> 00:57:34,501
<i> In large bunkers , there were men , </ i ></i>

550
00:57:34,501 --> 00:57:39,021
<i> - which had been bricked in , and defended
through portholes . </ i></i>

551
00:57:39,021 --> 00:57:44,661
<i> They did run out of their last bullets
and then blew themselves up in the air. </ i></i>

552
00:57:44,661 --> 00:57:50,181
<i> If a nation at war five years , </ i ></i>

553
00:57:50,181 --> 00:57:53,461
<i> - can perform such acts ... </ i></i>

554
00:57:57,781 --> 00:58:01,861
- Are you sure? He travels to Germany?
- Yes.

555
00:58:01,861 --> 00:58:04,781
He was directed to Obersalzberg .

556
00:58:04,781 --> 00:58:09,301
How can you be so well informed ,
Duchess ?

557
00:58:09,301 --> 00:58:12,421
I take care of my job. Did you shoot yours.

558
00:58:12,421 --> 00:58:15,421
Do you really want me to do this ?

559
00:58:19,981 --> 00:58:21,941
Thank you.

560
00:58:44,581 --> 00:58:50,341
You do realize headquarters seeking
a scapegoat for Cherbourg case?

561
00:58:50,341 --> 00:58:55,261
- You or me.
- I declare that the war should end .

562
00:58:55,261 --> 00:58:59,661
- The whole world is clearly against us.
- What would you have me do?

563
00:58:59,661 --> 00:59:04,101
- That you do not remain silent . Stay with me.
- You are right .

564
00:59:04,101 --> 00:59:06,621
We sacrifice both of us.

565
00:59:15,861 --> 00:59:19,261
He will give way again .
Just wait .

566
00:59:19,741 --> 00:59:23,101
Obersalzberg
29 JUNI 1944

567
00:59:29,141 --> 00:59:32,461
It's six o'clock . They let us wait.

568
00:59:38,981 --> 00:59:44,981
Are you here von Kluge ? How nice that you
recovered you so quickly after the accident.

569
00:59:44,981 --> 00:59:49,661
Thank you. Führer asked me to assess
the situation in the East.

570
00:59:51,541 --> 00:59:56,181
Excuse me,
but my plane to Berlin waiting.

571
00:59:58,301 --> 01:00:00,941
<i> Attention on deck . Look ahead . </ I></i>

572
01:00:14,221 --> 01:00:16,861
Make your statement .

573
01:00:29,101 --> 01:00:33,861
My Führer , I'm here
as commander of Army Group B.

574
01:00:34,901 --> 01:00:38,061
It's probably the last chance I have -

575
01:00:38,061 --> 01:00:44,021
- To describe the situation on the western front
for those of you who are responsible for the people.

576
01:00:44,021 --> 01:00:50,141
- I'll start with the political situation .
- You manifest your only in military affairs.

577
01:00:50,141 --> 01:00:54,701
My responsibility towards Germany
forcing me into it .

578
01:00:54,701 --> 01:00:59,181
I did not ask for your personal opinion
about world politics.

579
01:00:59,181 --> 01:01:03,101
Please adhere solely to the purely military .

580
01:01:03,101 --> 01:01:07,941
You know how disappointed I am
that you did not manage -

581
01:01:07,941 --> 01:01:14,101
- To attack the Cotentin Peninsula .
Cherbourg had not had to fall.

582
01:01:14,101 --> 01:01:19,021
The side with the best maintenance roads
always win battles .

583
01:01:19,021 --> 01:01:23,701
Montgomery maintenance pathways
was more vulnerable than yours.

584
01:01:23,701 --> 01:01:29,821
But the advantage you lost
because you were so hesitant .

585
01:01:29,821 --> 01:01:34,141
Now we have to lock the British in Caen,
implement a counterattack -

586
01:01:34,141 --> 01:01:37,501
- And let the enemy bleed to death in Normandy.

587
01:01:38,821 --> 01:01:43,421
National Secretary ,
you get the generals' reports .

588
01:01:43,421 --> 01:01:50,421
Question Hauser or Dietrich .
They know how hopeless the situation is.

589
01:01:54,021 --> 01:01:59,981
Mein Führer , I can not go from here
without having talked about Germany with you.

590
01:01:59,981 --> 01:02:02,461
Can we talk privately ?

591
01:02:04,061 --> 01:02:06,901
It's probably best that you leave the room.

592
01:02:41,701 --> 01:02:44,661
Should we stay at your house in Mr Lingen ?

593
01:02:44,661 --> 01:02:48,781
<i> ... where we are . And we do not give
after an inch without a fight. </ i></i>

594
01:02:48,781 --> 01:02:52,461
<i> And if we do that ,
we turn back now! </ i></i>

595
01:02:52,461 --> 01:02:55,901
<i> We are so happy
we know since yesterday </ i ></i>

596
01:02:55,901 --> 01:03:00,061
<i> - that our Colonel-General Rommel ... </ i></i>

597
01:03:13,341 --> 01:03:19,341
General Field Marshal ? Should we stay
at your home in Mr Lingen ?

598
01:03:36,741 --> 01:03:39,021
I see you again?

599
01:03:54,701 --> 01:03:57,221
Take care of your mother, Manfred.

Rommel HEADQUARTERS
30 JUNI 1944

601
01:04:24,941 --> 01:04:28,021
- Well, Speidel ?
- The front remains.

602
01:04:28,021 --> 01:04:29,821
For a while , yes.

603
01:04:36,581 --> 01:04:39,421
I am under no illusions, Speidel .

604
01:04:40,461 --> 01:04:44,421
- Next time it will be me.
- Rundstedt , then?

605
01:04:47,421 --> 01:04:49,701
Just as weak as ever.

606
01:04:49,701 --> 01:04:53,741
He'll follow orders ,
regardless of how they are corked .

607
01:04:53,741 --> 01:04:58,581
- All the facts are clear .
- Hitler did not care. He doubt ...

608
01:04:58,581 --> 01:05:03,181
... the enemy's superiority in the air
and devastating sjöartilleri -

609
01:05:03,181 --> 01:05:06,101
- As well as our maintenance problems .

610
01:05:06,101 --> 01:05:10,061
He does not believe us ,
but we should believe him.

611
01:05:10,061 --> 01:05:12,941
I simply say : " V -1".

612
01:05:14,061 --> 01:05:16,981
Field Marshal ...

613
01:05:16,981 --> 01:05:22,341
Leave your command .
It will take effect in the people.

614
01:05:22,341 --> 01:05:27,701
- You're still our most popular soldier.
- Those at the top do not allow it .

615
01:05:29,861 --> 01:05:35,381
They expect probably that I
'll die a heroic death ... at the front.

616
01:05:37,581 --> 01:05:40,181
But I can help a little .

617
01:05:42,621 --> 01:05:45,421
My family is prepared for it.

618
01:05:53,181 --> 01:06:00,181
You must take care of him. He is
soldier dog. He will never be more civil .

619
01:06:01,741 --> 01:06:04,061
It is certainly the .

620
01:06:08,661 --> 01:06:10,981
Rommel . Yes ?

621
01:06:16,901 --> 01:06:21,181
I see.
Thank you for informing me .

622
01:06:21,181 --> 01:06:24,821
Rundstedt receive the Knight's Cross
and leave office .

623
01:06:24,821 --> 01:06:27,021
And you?

624
01:06:28,861 --> 01:06:31,901
- I remain.
- As Rundstedts substitute?

625
01:06:31,901 --> 01:06:36,981
No, Field Marshal Kluge
becomes the new commander in chief in the West.

626
01:06:36,981 --> 01:06:39,621
<i> Right on ! </ i></i>

627

Rommel HEADQUARTERS
3 JULI 1944

628
01:06:44,461 --> 01:06:48,501
- How are you, Speidel ?
- Good . And you?

629
01:06:48,501 --> 01:06:54,461
The British attack with great force.
It takes great manpower to hold out .

630
01:06:54,461 --> 01:07:00,061
We need them in Saint -Lô, to
prevent Americans breakthrough.

631
01:07:00,061 --> 01:07:03,661
We abandon neither Caen
or bridgehead .

632
01:07:03,661 --> 01:07:08,381
We do not give an inch without a fight.
Führer's orders are clear.

633
01:07:08,381 --> 01:07:13,421
Fuhrer not aware mode .
The order to hold out is devastating.

634
01:07:13,421 --> 01:07:17,741
From now , you are getting , and everyone else,
get used to execute orders.

635
01:07:17,741 --> 01:07:23,821
- What do you mean?
- You tend to ignore your superiors ...

636
01:07:23,821 --> 01:07:26,701
... and run to the Führer instead.

637
01:07:30,061 --> 01:07:35,741
Gentlemen, leave me alone
with Field Marshal awhile.

638
01:07:46,661 --> 01:07:49,781
You have apparently forgotten
I am Field Marshal .

639
01:07:49,781 --> 01:07:54,061
I want reports
from all masters on the front.

640
01:07:54,061 --> 01:08:00,781
And statistics on the enemy naval
range artillery and ammunition.

641
01:08:00,781 --> 01:08:07,381
Go to the front! Then you can see for yourself
the hostile sjöartilleriets force.

642
01:08:08,541 --> 01:08:13,021
It is noticeable
you most have led a division .

643
01:08:17,501 --> 01:08:20,941
And you have not fought
against the British.

644
01:08:20,941 --> 01:08:24,581
Heavy weapons , armor
and artillery stationed -

645
01:08:24,581 --> 01:08:28,781
- Beyond the hostile sjöartilleriets
range.

646
01:08:28,781 --> 01:08:35,021
Artillery at Cagny and Émiéville .
And behind those tanks.

647
01:08:35,021 --> 01:08:38,661
To keep the enemy occupied.

648
01:08:38,661 --> 01:08:42,861
- How long ?
- In the best case , three weeks.

649
01:08:42,861 --> 01:08:46,461
Until they break through.
So we have three weeks.

650
01:08:46,461 --> 01:08:50,581
- For what?
- To find other solutions.

651
01:09:08,221 --> 01:09:11,421
- Field Marshal .
- What ? I'm dead tired .

652
01:09:11,421 --> 01:09:15,781
Do you remember Colonel von Hofacker ?
In Stülpnagels staff .

653
01:09:15,781 --> 01:09:20,221
- He wants to talk to you. Tomorrow .
- About what?

654
01:09:20,221 --> 01:09:24,341
I am here on my cousin's behalf;
Count von Stauffenberg .

655
01:09:24,341 --> 01:09:28,861
You might know that he now
manage the reserve army ?

656
01:09:28,861 --> 01:09:32,661
Yes. Has he recovered
from their injuries ?

657
01:09:32,661 --> 01:09:35,741
As much as possible , yes.

658
01:09:44,301 --> 01:09:47,861
He wants your assessment
the war situation in the West.

659
01:09:47,861 --> 01:09:51,341
It should also reserve army know.

660
01:09:55,341 --> 01:09:57,221
How long ?

661
01:09:59,181 --> 01:10:03,141
Three weeks. Max six .
Unless miracles happen .

662
01:10:03,141 --> 01:10:06,461
Do you think that the war is lost?

663
01:10:06,461 --> 01:10:10,021
What you really want me ?

664
01:10:10,021 --> 01:10:13,581
- Will you stand to Germany's favor?
- I do.

665
01:10:13,581 --> 01:10:17,661
Another Germany.
With another government.

666
01:10:27,381 --> 01:10:29,461
Put your hands .

667
01:10:32,501 --> 01:10:36,581
- Halt! Stay there .
- Put your hands up ! Do not move .

668
01:10:42,621 --> 01:10:44,661

674
01:11:15,341 --> 01:11:18,461
General Field Marshal Rommel !

675
01:11:22,781 --> 01:11:25,981
I have read your progress .

676
01:11:27,021 --> 01:11:30,501
- And ?
- I apologize .

677
01:11:30,501 --> 01:11:35,501
I tell the Fuhrer I look
as seriously as you state .

678
01:11:35,501 --> 01:11:41,941
The Americans soon break through.
In some areas , all men dead.

679
01:11:41,941 --> 01:11:47,261
- Just tell me is no longer enough .
- What do you suggest?

680
01:11:47,261 --> 01:11:52,341
The Fuhrer would negotiate peace .
Otherwise , we open the front.

681
01:11:52,341 --> 01:11:56,981
- Would you give Hitler an ultimatum ?
- Call it what you want.

682
01:11:56,981 --> 01:12:01,701
I give him one last chance .
If he does not , I act .

683
01:12:01,701 --> 01:12:05,941
- Can I count on you ?
- Do you not hope .

684
01:12:05,941 --> 01:12:11,461
- Hitler allow themselves to be impressed .
- We still have an obligation to act.

685
01:12:11,461 --> 01:12:16,341
Do you accept that my chief of staff
writing this to Hitler?

686
01:12:20,541 --> 01:12:24,941
First, we consult with the commanders ,
especially SS Generals .

687
01:12:24,941 --> 01:12:30,341
- Without them you can not .
- I will send them my intentions .

688
01:12:43,581 --> 01:12:49,141
- Does he or does he not ?
- What ?

689
01:12:49,141 --> 01:12:52,941
That one is planning a coup d'etat in Berlin.

690
01:12:54,181 --> 01:12:57,821
- How do you know?
- General Speidel said.

691
01:12:57,821 --> 01:13:03,741
He insinuated that for me.
Although your name was mentioned then.

692
01:13:06,341 --> 01:13:08,181
I know nothing .

693
01:13:08,181 --> 01:13:13,621
Position the front worsens by the day .
97,000 man has been killed ...

694
01:13:13,621 --> 01:13:18,061
Although troop material losses
are unusually high -

695
01:13:18,061 --> 01:13:20,901
- And have only partially replaced .

696
01:13:20,901 --> 01:13:24,381
... of which 2,360 officers.

697
01:13:24,381 --> 01:13:28,341
That means , on average,
2500 to 3000 to ...

698
01:13:28,341 --> 01:13:30,341
A total of about 10 000 men.

699
01:13:30,341 --> 01:13:34,741
As the fighting has shown ,
will the hostile stake -

700
01:13:34,741 --> 01:13:38,741
- That part of crush
even the bravest of troops -

701
01:13:38,741 --> 01:13:42,781
- Leading to loss of
people , weapons and ...

702
01:13:43,821 --> 01:13:45,421
We have problems .

703
01:13:47,021 --> 01:13:51,101
- Heil Hitler, Obersturmbannführer !
- Heil Hitler.

704
01:13:52,821 --> 01:13:55,941
- Heil Hitler !
- What do I owe the honor ?

705
01:13:55,941 --> 01:14:00,221
- A French saboteur is hiding here.
- In my headquarters ?

706
01:14:00,221 --> 01:14:03,221
Countess . Count nephews.

707
01:14:04,381 --> 01:14:07,981
Count's family has my protection .
Who maintains it?

708
01:14:07,981 --> 01:14:13,421
We grabbed a British agent yesterday.
He has unequivocally pointed to her.

709
01:14:13,421 --> 01:14:17,621
- You must be kidding.
- I understand that news shocks you.

710
01:14:18,741 --> 01:14:21,701
But you should be grateful.

711
01:14:21,701 --> 01:14:24,581
They had planned to assassinate you.

712
01:14:25,621 --> 01:14:29,221
Stand species Fuhrer .
This teaches interest you.

713
01:14:50,101 --> 01:14:53,421
I guess it does not
the army group's radio.

714
01:14:54,941 --> 01:14:59,061
- SS has gripped the people of the village.
- The Countess ?

715
01:14:59,061 --> 01:15:00,901
No.

716
01:15:02,501 --> 01:15:05,341
Where did we ?

717
01:15:05,341 --> 01:15:09,221
" The troops are fighting heroically all over. "

718
01:15:09,221 --> 01:15:15,221
... but still approaching
the uneven battle ... an end.

719
01:15:16,261 --> 01:15:23,341
According to me it is necessary ... to draw
political conclusions from the situation .

720
01:15:23,341 --> 01:15:28,221
"According to me it is necessary to draw
political conclusions from the situation . "

721
01:15:28,221 --> 01:15:32,181
- Should you send it?
- You are right . It's too risky .

722
01:15:32,181 --> 01:15:34,661
I talk to him.

723
01:15:34,661 --> 01:15:37,501
We want to have peace negotiations.

724
01:15:37,501 --> 01:15:43,701
" Politics " is a loaded word for Hitler.
He believes that Providence rescues him .

725
01:15:43,701 --> 01:15:48,981
- Delete the word "political" .
- Good . I'm sending it to Kluge today.

726
01:15:50,661 --> 01:15:53,501
- Field Marshal ...
- What is it now, when ?

727
01:15:55,021 --> 01:15:57,861
How much told von Hofacker ?

728
01:15:57,861 --> 01:16:01,741
- What do you mean?
- Initiate he s in the plans ?

729
01:16:01,741 --> 01:16:06,661
He asked if I could think of
a new state and military power. Plans ?

730
01:16:06,661 --> 01:16:11,821
I do not know . Only a small circle
know how the coup designed.

731
01:16:11,821 --> 01:16:16,381
If you prosecute Hitler , I'm with .
But I support no attacks.

732
01:16:16,381 --> 01:16:19,821
There I have not changed my mind , General.

733
01:16:19,821 --> 01:16:22,541
PARIS
16 JULI 1944

734
01:16:37,101 --> 01:16:41,181
He knows nothing about the attack .
Hofacker said nothing about it.

735
01:16:41,181 --> 01:16:44,141
He believes that we should prosecute Hitler.

736
01:16:44,141 --> 01:16:49,581
Hofacker said Rommel stood
available to the peace negotiations.

737
01:16:51,541 --> 01:16:55,101
For peace negotiations.
Not for an attack .

738
01:16:55,101 --> 01:16:58,261
He must realize that it will be violent .

739
01:16:58,261 --> 01:17:01,901
" Fierce " does not murder.

740
01:17:01,901 --> 01:17:04,221
Gentlemen ...

741
01:17:06,701 --> 01:17:12,421
We may not be made ??for it, but
it must be done . With or without Rommel .

742
01:17:12,421 --> 01:17:16,741
- Hitler faced with an ultimatum .
- What ? !

743
01:17:18,741 --> 01:17:25,061
Does he not agree to peace negotiations ,
opens Rommel and Kluge front.

744
01:17:25,061 --> 01:17:30,181
When Hitler may ultimatum
depositing he Rommel . Or worse.

745
01:17:30,181 --> 01:17:34,221
- We risk Valkyrias success.
- " Valkyrie " ?

746
01:17:35,861 --> 01:17:42,701
Stauffenberg's people have a plan, if
national emergency imposed.

747
01:17:43,741 --> 01:17:47,741
Reserve Army takes over power
the Interior.

748
01:17:47,741 --> 01:17:51,901
the condition is
an attempt on Hitler.

749
01:17:53,141 --> 01:17:58,141
As plotters appears
not as authors ?

750
01:17:58,141 --> 01:18:02,981
No. It will appear as a coup
of party members and SS.

751
01:18:02,981 --> 01:18:07,621
The plan enables all departments,
though they are not involved.

752
01:18:07,621 --> 01:18:14,221
They act according to the emergency plan
Hitler himself has blessed .

753
01:18:14,221 --> 01:18:17,981
We just need a reason
to enable it.

754
01:18:17,981 --> 01:18:20,901
- Ingenious .
- The front is the only uncertain.

755
01:18:20,901 --> 01:18:27,581
Just because we contacted Rommel .
The soldiers respect him enormously.

756
01:18:27,581 --> 01:18:31,661
- Should he just be propaganda ?
- Rommel factor .

757
01:18:31,661 --> 01:18:36,861
- Goebbels made ??him a folk hero.
- That we use now.

758
01:18:36,861 --> 01:18:41,701
Now you have a unique opportunity
to make people a really great service.

759
01:18:41,701 --> 01:18:44,821
It is marshal
certainly aware .

760
01:18:49,661 --> 01:18:52,141
Yes ?

761
01:18:52,141 --> 01:18:55,941
- General Field Marshal .
- Good morning. Something new ?

762
01:18:55,941 --> 01:18:59,701
according Aldinger
go ye to Dietrich today.

763
01:18:59,701 --> 01:19:04,101
- Yes, to the front in Caen.
- Should you discuss your plans?

764
01:19:04,101 --> 01:19:05,941
Of course .

765
01:19:05,941 --> 01:19:10,021
He is an inveterate National Socialist .
He tells SS.

766
01:19:10,021 --> 01:19:13,741
I know who he is,
but we have no choice.

767
01:19:13,741 --> 01:19:17,581
- Otherwise, the Waffen -SS war.
- Why not ...

768
01:19:17,581 --> 01:19:23,141
- ... Tell Himmler and Goebbels ?
- Dietrich is experienced . He understands .

769
01:19:26,021 --> 01:19:31,701
Greve Schwerin armor division
is prepared to disarm the SS.

770
01:19:32,941 --> 01:19:37,821
- Determines I still here? !
- Of course .

771
01:19:38,861 --> 01:19:42,661
The enemy is still in the West,
do not forget it .

772
01:19:46,901 --> 01:19:51,301
NORMANDY , THE ROAD TO livarot
17 JULI 1944

773
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:10,141
- Did you see the people? What was it?
- Respect ?

774
01:20:10,141 --> 01:20:13,381
No, fear.
They do not know what to expect.

775
01:20:13,381 --> 01:20:16,981
- What do you think?
- That we become a British colony.

776
01:20:16,981 --> 01:20:21,941
- And not a part of Stalin's Bolshevism.
- Enemy Plan! Eight.

777
01:20:21,941 --> 01:20:23,421
Give it here .

778
01:20:29,421 --> 01:20:33,621
Do you see the way there?
Attempts to reach the forest. Quick!

779
01:20:33,621 --> 01:20:36,221
Hurry up! Accelerate !

780
01:21:09,021 --> 01:21:11,461
Field Marshal !

781
01:21:18,021 --> 01:21:19,861
Field Marshal .

782
01:21:22,741 --> 01:21:25,941
Help me! Hurry up!

783
01:21:27,261 --> 01:21:29,701
Hurry up! Come on .

PARIS
Kluges HEADQUARTERS

785
01:21:47,821 --> 01:21:50,181
Blumentritt .

786
01:21:50,181 --> 01:21:53,301
Just a moment . - Field Marshal ?

787
01:21:53,301 --> 01:21:56,501
- Yes ?
- General Speidel .

788
01:22:00,661 --> 01:22:02,861
Yes, Kluge here.

789
01:22:07,661 --> 01:22:09,781
Yes. Roger that.

790
01:22:09,781 --> 01:22:13,261
No, I tell the high command .

791
01:22:13,261 --> 01:22:15,501
Blumentritt .

792
01:22:20,261 --> 01:22:24,141
Rommel is badly wounded.
They do not know if he survives .

793
01:22:24,141 --> 01:22:28,741
- It was taken only it!
- Call up the command.

794
01:22:28,741 --> 01:22:35,941
What happened to Rommel's letter ?
Have we sent it to the Führer than ?

795
01:22:35,941 --> 01:22:39,941
- No, you wanted to add it .
- Well, yes ...

796
01:22:39,941 --> 01:22:42,421
Archive it for so long.

797
01:22:48,101 --> 01:22:52,981
He has a skull fracture . it is
a miracle that he survived the night .

798
01:22:54,021 --> 01:22:59,221
The Führer has given me the command here ,
until Rommel has recovered .

799
01:23:00,101 --> 01:23:05,701
- Can I count on your support, Speidel ?
- Of course .

800
01:23:05,701 --> 01:23:09,981
I set up my fighter place
here in the castle.

801
01:23:09,981 --> 01:23:12,821
When I reach the front faster.

802
01:23:12,821 --> 01:23:16,861
- Blumentritt replace me in Paris.
- Of course .

803
01:23:16,861 --> 01:23:19,541
That's all for now.

804
01:23:22,821 --> 01:23:28,701
Yeah, right ... Since this morning , attacking
our enemy positions in Caen.

805
01:23:34,981 --> 01:23:41,501
The bombing was the 16th anti-aircraft
and 272 text Infantry Division -

806
01:23:41,501 --> 01:23:44,821
- Which was along the front , totally obliterated .

807
01:23:47,341 --> 01:23:51,021
- Keeps the front stalls ?
- So far .

808
01:23:53,101 --> 01:23:55,621
What about Daniel?

809
01:23:57,141 --> 01:23:59,381
He's dead.

810
01:23:59,381 --> 01:24:02,941
He did not .
He died in the night.

811
01:24:06,301 --> 01:24:09,781
- You have received a telegram from the Führer.
- Well ...

812
01:24:11,341 --> 01:24:17,141
"My best wishes
for a speedy recovery . "

813
01:24:17,141 --> 01:24:20,821
- Signed by Adolf Hitler.
- That's it?

814
01:24:20,821 --> 01:24:23,141
Yes, Field Marshal .

815
01:24:24,661 --> 01:24:31,901
Stauffenberg is still set to it .
He flies to headquarters tomorrow.

816
01:24:31,901 --> 01:24:37,461
Kluge has moved
th Panzer division to the front.

817
01:24:37,461 --> 01:24:42,621
- Now we can no longer stop the SS.
- We hope to Kluge .

818
01:24:42,621 --> 01:24:46,861
How's ultimatum ?
Have high command responded ?

819
01:24:46,861 --> 01:24:51,981
- It no longer refers to the ultimatum .
- Has not been sent yet?

820
01:24:53,741 --> 01:24:59,341
Kluge has been informed long .
He has met with the conspirators .

821
01:24:59,341 --> 01:25:05,021
I do not think he is ready to
peace negotiations with the Allies.

822
01:25:05,021 --> 01:25:09,381
- There will be no negotiations , General.
- Why not ?

823
01:25:09,381 --> 01:25:16,861
The Allies accept a surrender
Only if we give up even in the East.

824
01:25:18,461 --> 01:25:19,901
What does that mean?

825
01:25:19,901 --> 01:25:25,781
The fact that we show the world that we dare
revolt against these criminals .

826
01:25:37,261 --> 01:25:40,101
General!

827
01:25:40,101 --> 01:25:43,301
Countess ? What are you doing here?

828
01:25:44,421 --> 01:25:50,701
The hotel interests my colleagues.
And Rommel stabsbil falls in the eye.

829
01:25:50,701 --> 01:25:53,461
How is the field marshal ?

830
01:25:57,221 --> 01:25:59,661
I can betray you.

831
01:26:01,501 --> 01:26:05,501
SS has taken hostages in the village.
I should surrender myself .

832
01:26:05,501 --> 01:26:09,341
Some of them are children.
Can you do something ?

833
01:26:10,381 --> 01:26:15,501
- Unfortunately, I have no influence.
- I understand . Best of luck.

834
01:26:17,021 --> 01:26:19,381
What will you do ?

835
01:26:21,181 --> 01:26:24,821
- I will surrender myself .
- Do not do it .

836
01:26:24,821 --> 01:26:29,021
- Things are changing faster than you think.
- Really?

837
01:26:29,941 --> 01:26:32,941
One should never give up hope.

An attempt on the Führer.
He's dead.

Witzleben and Beck
has formed an interim government .

Who told you that ?

01:28:47,821 --> 01:28:50,941
Our military commander , Stülpnagel .

860
01:28:50,941 --> 01:28:55,221
SS and Gestapo carried out
a coup in Berlin.

861
01:28:55,221 --> 01:28:57,301
The Führer is dead.

862
01:28:57,301 --> 01:29:02,101
All of the security in Paris

Field Marshal von Kluge wants to meet you
the battle command center at 20.

868
01:29:25,821 --> 01:29:29,381
An important meeting. Thank you.

- What did he say?
- That he will .

870
01:29:37,781 --> 01:29:41,461
Yes!
What is it?

871
01:29:41,461 --> 01:29:45,941
A remote- written message
from Field Marshal Keitel .

872
01:29:45,941 --> 01:29:50,301
- What does he ?
- To Hitler alive.

873
01:29:53,781 --> 01:29:57,421
Find out the truth .
It must go.

874
01:29:57,421 --> 01:29:59,621
Sure .

875
01:30:02,101 --> 01:30:07,061
Tell me, Speidel ...
Did you and Rommel about this?

876
01:30:10,821 --> 01:30:12,501
No.

20:30

882
01:30:33,661 --> 01:30:37,821
- What now , sir ?
- We are here to arrest you.

883
01:30:37,821 --> 01:30:41,701
- In general Stülpnagels orders.
- Excuse me?

884

<i> Come on , out. Out with you! </ I></i>

Rommel HEADQUARTERS ,
20:40

887
01:31:28,781 --> 01:31:34,741
Now that the Führer is dead, we must
make decisions. What will you do ?

888
01:31:34,741 --> 01:31:38,021
Settle down , gentlemen.

889
01:31:40,061 --> 01:31:44,901
My lords ,
We have received conflicting information .

890
01:31:44,901 --> 01:31:50,381
Half an hour ago I spoke
the phone with General Stief .

891
01:31:50,381 --> 01:31:52,701
He is currently at Mamry -

892
01:31:52,701 --> 01:31:58,661
- And have talked to some officers
who left the Wolf's Lair today.

893
01:31:58,661 --> 01:32:02,861
They say
Hitler survived the bomb attack .

894
01:32:06,541 --> 01:32:10,141
What takes place in Berlin
is not conclusive.

895
01:32:10,141 --> 01:32:14,821
The decisions made here in France
is very important.

896
01:32:14,821 --> 01:32:21,821
For Germany's future sake, abandon
Hitler and suffered the liberation of the West.

897
01:32:21,821 --> 01:32:27,421
Make the Field Marshal Rommel had
done - put an end to the bloody murders.

898
01:32:27,421 --> 01:32:33,221
Do not end even worse. Prevent
German history's worst disaster.

899
01:32:34,461 --> 01:32:37,341
Yes ? Just a moment .

900
01:32:38,381 --> 01:32:41,781
General Warlimont ,
the Führer's headquarters.

901
01:32:41,781 --> 01:32:43,941
The Kluge .

902
01:32:46,741 --> 01:32:50,381
Roger that. I am very relieved.

903
01:32:54,301 --> 01:32:59,221
General Warlimont state
that the Führer is the best of health .

904
01:32:59,221 --> 01:33:02,941
The attack failed , that is.

905
01:33:02,941 --> 01:33:10,221
- But , I thought you knew.
- No ... I had no idea.

906
01:33:11,781 --> 01:33:14,701
Gentlemen, dinner is served .

907
01:33:24,061 --> 01:33:26,901
Yes. Make gentlemen.

908
01:33:31,501 --> 01:33:35,941
- Field Marshal , I need to talk to you.
- Are we ready?

909
01:33:38,621 --> 01:33:40,781
What ? !

910
01:33:40,781 --> 01:33:45,461
The entire security
and group Führer Oberg be arrested .

911
01:33:45,461 --> 01:33:49,821
Or have already been arrested.
On Stülpnagels orders.

912
01:33:49,821 --> 01:33:55,381
He did it without consulting any
or inform their commander in chief.

913
01:33:55,381 --> 01:33:58,981
It's arbitrary conduct
unprecedented !

914
01:34:03,741 --> 01:34:06,781
Refer to
that the order is immediately withdrawn .

915
01:34:06,781 --> 01:34:10,021
The facts speak for themselves.

916
01:34:10,021 --> 01:34:13,061
Your word and your honor is in danger.

917
01:34:13,061 --> 01:34:17,181
Army's honor and the fate of millions
is in your hands .

918
01:34:22,701 --> 01:34:26,701
Well ... if the pig had died , so ...

919
01:34:40,541 --> 01:34:44,901
If I were you ,
I would try to escape as civilian.

920
01:34:44,901 --> 01:34:47,581
Try to jump off .

921
01:34:55,461 --> 01:35:02,061
<i> A little dab ambitious , unscrupulous
foolish and criminal officers , </ i ></i>

923

A ROAD NEAR VERDUN ,
21 JULI 1944

927
01:35:54,821 --> 01:35:59,941
I go to the lake. I must go
on the legs. Hold at the next intersection .

928
01:36:39,901 --> 01:36:42,741
- A cigarette ?
- Yes , thank you.

929
01:37:03,101 --> 01:37:07,821
Where were you , Rommel ?
Where have you been?

930
01:37:07,821 --> 01:37:10,461
It has been mentioned name .

931
01:37:13,261 --> 01:37:16,101
The name Rommel was among them.

932
01:37:27,261 --> 01:37:32,701
Thank you for coming , sir.
But everything is already settled.

933
01:37:32,701 --> 01:37:36,381
I take full responsibility
for revolt here in Paris.

934
01:37:36,381 --> 01:37:39,821
Just Stülpnagel and I was initiated.

935
01:37:39,821 --> 01:37:43,261
All the others were unaware .

936
01:37:43,261 --> 01:37:47,181
I apologize .
But I have no regrets .

937
01:37:49,061 --> 01:37:51,741
Names mentioned . Even yours.

938
01:37:51,741 --> 01:37:56,901
It is enough if one call
you had with Hofacker July 9.

939
01:37:59,101 --> 01:38:01,741
I do not remember .

940
01:38:11,941 --> 01:38:14,621
It may not be incriminating .

941
01:38:14,621 --> 01:38:20,341
You were asked about your assessment
of state ... and you gave an honest answer .

942
01:38:24,381 --> 01:38:27,221
How does it look on the front?

943
01:38:27,221 --> 01:38:31,061
s 3rd Army broke through
at Avranches yesterday.

944
01:38:31,061 --> 01:38:34,021
I do not want to be in your shoes .

945
01:38:38,261 --> 01:38:40,501
Heil, mein Führer .

946
01:38:46,941 --> 01:38:49,501
Read this, Keitel .

947
01:38:50,541 --> 01:38:55,061
That's what that Hofacker said
if Rommel .

948
01:38:56,101 --> 01:39:00,501
He has talked to him ...
on the attack .

949
01:39:03,461 --> 01:39:06,381
If it is true , Keitel ...

950
01:39:06,381 --> 01:39:10,781
it is a ...
of my biggest disappointments ever.

951
01:39:13,381 --> 01:39:19,381
But I can not hurt the people who contact
him so highly , by prosecuting him.

952
01:39:20,421 --> 01:39:24,021
Rommel HOME IN MEN LINGEN
August 8, 1944

953
01:39:41,981 --> 01:39:46,141
- General Field Marshal .
- Loistl . What nice.

954
01:39:46,141 --> 01:39:48,261
Jesus ...

955
01:39:52,021 --> 01:39:57,781
As long as you do not wear the head during
arm , it's not so bad. Come on .

FRANCE
August 17, 1944

957
01:40:19,701 --> 01:40:23,941
- Go ahead.
- A private letter to you from the Führer.

958
01:40:24,941 --> 01:40:29,461
You are asked to come to Berlin
and report .

959
01:40:29,461 --> 01:40:32,101
To report ?

960
01:40:53,061 --> 01:40:57,301
The Americans have already crossed the Seine
with two divisions.

961
01:41:01,941 --> 01:41:04,101
Yes, Speidel ...

962
01:41:05,061 --> 01:41:08,181
That's all for me.

963
01:41:46,741 --> 01:41:50,781
- Nice to meet you , Colonel. How are you?
- Thank you good.

964
01:41:50,781 --> 01:41:53,821
I must speak to you in private.

965
01:41:53,821 --> 01:41:57,941
Go in and tell your mom
we have guests.

966
01:41:59,941 --> 01:42:03,421
- What gives?
- Field Marshal Kluge 's death.

967
01:42:03,421 --> 01:42:06,501
He was called to Berlin, but took poison.

968
01:42:06,501 --> 01:42:10,181
General Speidel considered
you ought to know that.

969
01:42:12,741 --> 01:42:15,021
Yes. Thank you.

970
01:42:17,221 --> 01:42:19,381
Do we know why?

971
01:42:19,381 --> 01:42:24,581
We assume that Hitler gave him the debt
for frontal collapse.

972
01:42:24,581 --> 01:42:27,501
All flees from us , Field Marshal .

973
01:42:31,061 --> 01:42:34,741
Are not you ashamed , you wretch -

974
01:42:34,741 --> 01:42:39,221
- Over to you , in the most miserable manner ,
betrayed the Führer ?

975
01:42:39,221 --> 01:42:43,021
I regret only
I did not perform the attack .

976
01:42:43,021 --> 01:42:47,101
- Then it had not failed.
- It was ... Corresponding ?

977
01:42:47,101 --> 01:42:51,301
Be quiet , Mr. Freissler .
Today, it is my head.

978
01:42:52,821 --> 01:42:55,661
In a year , it applies your head .

979
01:43:25,861 --> 01:43:31,821
- What it was based on ?
- Nothing at all . It came totally unexpected.

980
01:43:31,821 --> 01:43:34,941
I will await further orders
in Germany .

981
01:43:34,941 --> 01:43:38,941
- Who will replace you in the army group?
- General Krebs .

982
01:43:38,941 --> 01:43:43,021
Although Blumentritt replaced
and shall report in Berlin.

983
01:43:43,021 --> 01:43:45,941
There is nothing unusual , Speidel .

984
01:43:45,941 --> 01:43:50,181
They are looking for scapegoats
for the fiasco on the front.

985
01:43:52,381 --> 01:43:56,901
The conspirators from Paris
sentenced a week ago .

986
01:43:57,941 --> 01:44:00,821
Horrible . Even Stülpnagel .

987
01:44:02,861 --> 01:44:06,621
Hofacker has apparently not
been executed yet.

988
01:44:11,901 --> 01:44:16,941
- They might still need him.
- Do you have anything to fear ?

01:44:24,901 --> 01:44:28,621
Good morning, Frau Speidel .
Is your husband at home?

991
01:44:51,901 --> 01:44:55,821
SECURITY MINISTRY IN BERLIN
September 20, 1944

992
01:45:16,701 --> 01:45:19,821
- Good morning , General.
- Colonel .

993
01:45:19,821 --> 01:45:22,981
He is not anymore.

994
01:45:22,981 --> 01:45:26,621
Herr von Hofacker has just
its weak life left .

995
01:45:28,861 --> 01:45:32,021
Well, Herr von Hofacker .

996
01:45:33,461 --> 01:45:37,301
Tell Dr. Speidel
what you have told us.

997
01:45:37,301 --> 01:45:41,261
That you 've talked to him
on attack plans.

998
01:45:41,261 --> 01:45:45,941
And that even Field Marshal Rommel
was informed about them.

999
01:45:45,941 --> 01:45:52,621
No. Neither marshal or
Lieutenant-General was informed.

1000
01:45:54,901 --> 01:45:57,741
If I 've said it ...

1001
01:45:58,861 --> 01:46:03,741
... I must have been ...
temporary memory confused.

1002
01:46:08,501 --> 01:46:12,261
Mr Lingen, October 1.
Dear Frau Speidel .

1003
01:46:12,261 --> 01:46:15,301
Your husband's fate touches me deeply.

1004
01:46:15,301 --> 01:46:20,661
Especially since you have not heard anything
from him for over three weeks ...

1005
01:46:20,661 --> 01:46:24,941
... worries me a lot.
I put a high value on your make-

1006
01:46:24,941 --> 01:46:30,781
- As excellent, skilled
and ambitious chief of staff.

1007
01:46:30,781 --> 01:46:35,941
I'll write to the Führer today
and put in a good word for him.

1008
01:46:35,941 --> 01:46:40,821
" Mein Führer , you know I put down
all the power and ability " -

1009
01:46:40,821 --> 01:46:46,381
- "In the Battle of France in 1940,
in Africa 1941-1943 " -

1010
01:46:46,381 --> 01:46:50,181
- 'In Italy in 1943
and on the western front in 1944. "

1011
01:46:50,181 --> 01:46:54,941
" My only goal is to fight for
and win for your new Germany. "

1012
01:46:54,941 --> 01:46:59,101
" Heil, mein Führer .
E point Rommel . "

1013
01:47:00,941 --> 01:47:04,261
Maybe he was informed, yes .

1014
01:47:04,261 --> 01:47:08,981
- But he did not participate actively .
- Knowledge is betrayal .

1015
01:47:11,541 --> 01:47:14,741
According to Lieutenant General Speidel
he -

1016
01:47:14,741 --> 01:47:20,061
- Via Hofacker ,
posted by General von Stülpnagel -

1017
01:47:20,061 --> 01:47:24,461
- Knowledge of the plan
the attack 20 July 1944 .

1018
01:47:24,461 --> 01:47:27,701
He informed
Field Marshal Rommel .

1019
01:47:27,701 --> 01:47:32,421
To Rommel did not keep information
Furthermore , he did not know .

1020
01:47:32,421 --> 01:47:36,541
I believe General Lieutenant's apology
be unlikely.

1021
01:47:36,541 --> 01:47:41,461
It was his duty to self- report
the attack plan.

1022
01:47:41,461 --> 01:47:47,501
Especially as Rommel must have said
that he did not intend to report.

1023
01:47:49,341 --> 01:47:55,301
The Führer is of the opinion
Speidels that debt can not be doubted.

1024
01:47:57,021 --> 01:48:00,061
Gentlemen .
If General Speidel claims -

1025
01:48:00,061 --> 01:48:04,581
- That he has informed Rommel
on the attack -

1026
01:48:04,581 --> 01:48:07,341
- The prosecution must disprove it .

1027
01:48:07,341 --> 01:48:12,461
This is a sophistry attempt
to acquit Dr Speidel .

1028
01:48:12,461 --> 01:48:14,741
And even then ...

1029
01:48:15,781 --> 01:48:21,781
The matter was so serious that Speidel not
should rely on marshal .

1030
01:48:21,781 --> 01:48:27,221
If there is anything a soldier
be able to rely on ...

1031
01:48:27,221 --> 01:48:31,181
so ... is it to his superiors
doing their duty .

1032
01:48:32,621 --> 01:48:36,981
I hope you realize
what this means for Rommel .
