Heil Hitler.
General Field Marshal waiting for us .

9
00:01:43,841 --> 00:01:47,681

- Of course .

10
00:02:09,481 --> 00:02:11,841
- Heil Hitler.
- General.

General Field Marshal .

Ma'am .

00:02:17,401 --> 00:02:22,441
- You stay well out to lunch ?
- No, thank you. We are here in the service.

14
00:02:22,441 --> 00:02:27,561
May I ask you to leave us alone
with General Field Marshal ?

15
00:02:27,561 --> 00:02:29,801
Come on .

16
00:02:32,761 --> 00:02:35,721
I announce if we need anything.

00:02:38,561 --> 00:02:42,481
Aldinger ,

18
00:02:45,881 --> 00:02:51,561
It's so well ? You are looking for an idiot
blaming the West Front collapse .

19
00:02:54,001 --> 00:02:59,121
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
00:04:20,121 --> 00:04:24,841
Do what you want , as long as you delay
invasion by a week.

36
00:04:24,841 --> 00:04:28,321
- Fuehrer's adjutant is here.
- Thank you, Aldinger .

37
00:04:28,321 --> 00:04:34,521
I need your support. High German
officers that the Russians captured -

38
00:04:34,521 --> 00:04:39,801
- Have sent letters to officers
and urged them to stop the war.

39
00:04:39,801 --> 00:04:42,801
They're dictated by Stalin himself .

40
00:04:42,801 --> 00:04:47,601
Unfortunately not. There is clear evidence
that the letters are not forged.

41
00:04:47,601 --> 00:04:52,521
- Do you also have one?
- No. And then I ripped it .

42
00:04:52,521 --> 00:04:56,921
Now that the war escalates ,
Fuhrer must know with certainty -

43
00:04:56,921 --> 00:05:01,881
- That there is a one-off
and that the field marshal is loyal .

44
00:05:01,881 --> 00:05:05,561
- The Führer knows I am loyal .
- Hostile flight !

45
00:05:05,561 --> 00:05:08,401
Give me , Aldinger .

46
00:05:09,281 --> 00:05:13,761
They have not seen us yet.
- Daniel , try to reach the forest.

47
00:05:15,321 --> 00:05:19,721
- They face . They 've found us !
- Maybe you should sit down .

48
00:05:19,721 --> 00:05:23,761
Gasa . Faster.
- Where do you see the problems we have here.

49
00:05:23,761 --> 00:05:28,161
Not a German plane in sight.
The allies chasing us like hares.

50
00:05:37,841 --> 00:05:39,841
Stop!

51
00:05:39,841 --> 00:05:43,441
In here. Fort . - This Way . In there .

52
00:05:43,441 --> 00:05:45,881
Do not, you still can not hit .

53
00:05:46,921 --> 00:05:51,041
In there . Quick!

54
00:05:51,041 --> 00:05:53,481
Shit !

55
00:05:57,961 --> 00:06:00,001
Survived all ?

56
00:06:06,201 --> 00:06:09,841
" On all soldiers
and officers' behalf " -

57
00:06:09,841 --> 00:06:16,121
- " We declare our allegiance
to the Führer and National Socialism. "

58
00:06:16,121 --> 00:06:20,921
"Therefore , we promise to do all we can
for every soldier " -

59
00:06:20,921 --> 00:06:26,561
- " To fight even more intense
of National Socialism 's future. "

60
00:06:26,561 --> 00:06:30,361
" Berchtesgarden , March 15, 1944 ".

61
00:06:43,961 --> 00:06:48,881
My adjutant was very impressed
of his visit to the Atlantic Wall .

62
00:06:48,881 --> 00:06:52,201
I look forward to your progress .

63
00:06:52,201 --> 00:06:56,001
This was two weeks ago
off Plymouth .

64
00:06:56,001 --> 00:06:59,321
The enemy appears prepare
a landing .

65
00:06:59,321 --> 00:07:04,481
They also gather force
English Channel. At least 50 divisions.

66
00:07:04,481 --> 00:07:08,601
<i>- They will then in a few weeks .
 - About </ i> they come.</i>

67
00:07:08,601 --> 00:07:11,401
They have practiced this before .

68
00:07:11,401 --> 00:07:16,121
It 's obvious that the Allies
must come west.

69
00:07:16,121 --> 00:07:19,801
I 'm really looking forward
their departure .

70
00:07:26,241 --> 00:07:29,761
What do you think?
Where will they try ?

71
00:07:29,761 --> 00:07:35,041
They are probably trying here , in Calais.
Or in Normandy.

72
00:07:35,041 --> 00:07:40,521
The two peninsulas offer
excellent opportunities for bridgeheads .

73
00:07:40,521 --> 00:07:43,481
How the enemy will act?

74
00:07:43,481 --> 00:07:46,361
First they bombarded our positions.

75
00:07:46,361 --> 00:07:53,041
Then attack boats
and armored landing vehicles -

76
00:07:53,041 --> 00:07:59,961
- Under the cover of artillery and bombers .
Airborne troops placed behind the front.

77
00:07:59,961 --> 00:08:02,641
What is your counter-move ?

78
00:08:02,641 --> 00:08:08,201
The enemy will be killed at the landing .
The beach is the battle line .

79
00:08:08,201 --> 00:08:14,801
Empty talk , Mr. Rommel . How defends
to an over 2,000 km of coastline ?

80
00:08:14,801 --> 00:08:16,841
We miss forces.

81
00:08:16,841 --> 00:08:23,441
We place all armored divisions
to the coast. I 'll show you.

82
00:08:24,481 --> 00:08:29,401
Within three months , it looks like this
everywhere on the Atlantic Wall .

83
00:08:29,401 --> 00:08:32,841
Barriers hinder
for landing boats.

84
00:08:32,841 --> 00:08:36,841
Artillery shells them
directly at the landing .

85
00:08:36,841 --> 00:08:42,241
And we have no artillery in place,
taking armor units over .

86
00:08:42,241 --> 00:08:48,801
If the enemy breaks through at one point
on fältmarskalkens defense line

87
00:08:48,801 --> 00:08:51,361
- Empire is defenseless .

88
00:08:51,361 --> 00:08:57,881
When the Allies marching to Berlin.
Our tanks can only follow.

89
00:08:57,881 --> 00:09:04,121
Our tanks kill all enemies
who disembarked in 48 hours.

90
00:09:04,121 --> 00:09:10,121
Before the tanks get there , it has
enemy plane bombed them apart .

91
00:09:11,281 --> 00:09:17,121
Mein Führer ... I ask you to give me
command of armored forces .

92
00:09:17,121 --> 00:09:20,681
Only then can we prevent
enemy invasion.

93
00:09:21,721 --> 00:09:25,801
Then we put everything on one card .
Without strategic reserves .

94
00:09:25,801 --> 00:09:29,121
As commander in chief in the West
I allow it .

95
00:09:29,121 --> 00:09:33,841
But for three years, have you allowed
Atlantic Wall to be inadequate.

96
00:09:33,841 --> 00:09:38,881
While Rommel short time
has done exemplary work .

97
00:09:38,881 --> 00:09:42,921
An invasion must be strictly avoided.
For one thing is certain :

98
00:09:42,921 --> 00:09:47,721
If the landing fails,
do not they try again .

99
00:09:47,721 --> 00:09:51,801
Then we can redirect forces
where we need them - in the East.

100
00:09:51,801 --> 00:09:54,441
All 45 divisions.

101
00:09:57,041 --> 00:10:01,481
war output
depends on you and your soldiers.

102
00:10:01,481 --> 00:10:05,081
And even Reich
and the fate of the nation .

103
00:10:05,081 --> 00:10:10,121
- Do you realize that, Field Marshal ?
- Yes, my Führer .

104
00:10:10,121 --> 00:10:15,681
Can you at least wait
at Manfred ? He will be disappointed.

105
00:10:15,681 --> 00:10:21,241
Tell him . We have very little time before
the enemy is coming, and much to do.

106
00:10:21,241 --> 00:10:23,641
- You can do it .
- I must.

107
00:10:23,641 --> 00:10:27,241
Fuhrer expects
I save the kingdom .

108
00:10:27,241 --> 00:10:29,761
How nice that he trusts you again .

109
00:10:29,761 --> 00:10:33,401
FRANCE
April 15, 1944

110
00:10:40,681 --> 00:10:43,721
Rommel HEADQUARTERS

111
00:10:43,721 --> 00:10:47,761
There you are .
We were expecting you earlier , General.

112
00:10:47,761 --> 00:10:51,081
We were chased by enemy aircraft .

113
00:10:51,081 --> 00:10:57,201
Their superiority in the air is our largest
problems . My adjutant , Captain Aldinger .

114
00:10:57,201 --> 00:11:01,481
Take the general's baggage .
- You will get to meet my staff , Speidel .

115
00:11:01,481 --> 00:11:06,761
- How's the cheese ?
- The Russian offensive can not be stopped.

116
00:11:06,761 --> 00:11:09,481
Führer's orders are catastrophic .

117
00:11:09,481 --> 00:11:13,601
They give unnecessary coincident ,
and prevents the front moved.

118
00:11:13,601 --> 00:11:18,081
- Move the front?
- For Reich boundaries, if possible.

119
00:11:18,081 --> 00:11:22,441
Then do not negotiate the enemy with us.
Would you like to be humiliated ?

120
00:11:22,441 --> 00:11:25,761
- No.
- We will prevent the invasion.

121
00:11:25,761 --> 00:11:29,961
Only then may the Führer
a strong bargaining position .

122
00:11:31,841 --> 00:11:37,601
Gentlemen,
our new Chief of Staff , General Speidel .

123
00:11:37,601 --> 00:11:39,521
Nice .

124
00:11:39,521 --> 00:11:44,041
Countess La Rochefoucauld ,
Castle owner's nephew .

125
00:11:44,041 --> 00:11:47,681
<i> - Bonjour.
- Comtesse , bonjour . </ I></i>

126
00:11:47,681 --> 00:11:51,481
She speaks excellent German.
She interprets for us.

127
00:11:52,521 --> 00:11:56,281
- Er famous ancestor , the author ?
- Yes.

128
00:11:56,281 --> 00:11:59,241
<i> " La jeunesse
est une Ivresse continuelle . " < / i ></i>

129
00:11:59,241 --> 00:12:01,801
<i> "C'est la fièvre de la raison . " </ i></i>

130
00:12:01,801 --> 00:12:05,601
- It was well he ?
- Yes.

131
00:12:06,961 --> 00:12:14,241
Youth is a continual intoxication.
The reason is fever.

132
00:12:15,281 --> 00:12:20,721
Who did you mean , Speidel ? There's
just a youth here , Countess.

133
00:12:21,881 --> 00:12:26,841
- It happened just like that.
- The Countess knows what is proper .

134
00:12:26,841 --> 00:12:30,241
- Are you sure?
- Are not you ?

135
00:12:31,001 --> 00:12:35,281
<i> - Messieurs , </ i> good evening .
 - Bonsoir . </ i></i>

136
00:12:39,881 --> 00:12:44,561
It easily becomes a villain .
Not true Speidel ?

137
00:12:46,881 --> 00:12:52,641
Here at Calvados Coast
we still have a gap of 40 kilometers.

138
00:12:52,641 --> 00:12:56,881
If the tanks will not
it looks dark.

139
00:12:56,881 --> 00:13:02,401
The Führer has promised to curb units
will . You get your tanks.

140
00:13:03,441 --> 00:13:07,761
We must move obstacles ahead ,
Marcks .

141
00:13:07,761 --> 00:13:11,561
The Allies
practice landing at low tide now.

142
00:13:11,561 --> 00:13:16,001
So it looks . But we 'll give them
long way to the beach.

143
00:13:16,001 --> 00:13:20,881
How ? I can not tire out the men
with pick and shovel .

144
00:13:20,881 --> 00:13:24,081
I have rested soldiers.

145
00:13:24,081 --> 00:13:29,601
That's the problem . Your men are too
rested after three years of beach vacations.

146
00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:34,841
See the doctor Speidel . He was
on the eastern front , but he laments ?

147
00:13:34,841 --> 00:13:38,441
I lost my leg on the eastern front.

148
00:13:38,441 --> 00:13:41,641
And with all due respect , I tell you :

149
00:13:41,641 --> 00:13:46,201
Your plan requires a minimum of one year.
Anyone who says otherwise ...

150
00:13:46,201 --> 00:13:50,961
- ... Hide the truth or does not know.
- What do you imagine ?

151
00:13:50,961 --> 00:13:56,121
The Führer has given me orders to
prevent the Allied landing .

152
00:13:56,121 --> 00:14:00,161
And a slacker like you
should not hinder me.

153
00:14:00,161 --> 00:14:03,001
Now make sure to get the job done.

154
00:14:04,801 --> 00:14:06,961
Yes.

155
00:14:11,041 --> 00:14:16,561
Maybe it was a little rough , but otherwise
nothing happens here , believe me.

156
00:14:16,561 --> 00:14:19,241
Wait, Marcks .

157
00:14:19,841 --> 00:14:26,241
- He knows Marcks is absolutely right.
- Your men have been frequent . Sorry.

158
00:14:27,801 --> 00:14:30,361
PARIS
April 25, 1944

159
00:14:44,001 --> 00:14:46,961
German military ADMINISTRATION

160
00:14:50,441 --> 00:14:52,881
It has happened to some here , Hans.

161
00:14:52,881 --> 00:15:00,121
Paris Jews was sent to the East,
but traffic continues ...

162
00:15:01,561 --> 00:15:06,521
And SS chasing even Jewish children ,
that residents are hiding .

163
00:15:09,321 --> 00:15:12,561
The local SS last idea.

164
00:15:12,561 --> 00:15:18,161
Resistance bomb stations and
then exploded even wagons are doors .

165
00:15:18,161 --> 00:15:23,001
Some Jews fled. To prevent
there transported the now bare.

166
00:15:27,561 --> 00:15:29,921
Come on .

167
00:15:37,241 --> 00:15:41,561
Colonel Hofacker ,
Count Stauffenberg's cousin.

168
00:15:43,481 --> 00:15:45,321
- General.
- Nice to meet you .

169
00:15:45,321 --> 00:15:50,601
Berlin would finally act.
Therefore, they asked me to trust myself to you .

170
00:15:50,601 --> 00:15:54,401
- It's about Rommel .
- Rommel ?

171
00:15:54,401 --> 00:15:58,601
Can he convince
to participate in kupplanerna ?

172
00:15:59,921 --> 00:16:05,161
He will do anything to succeed in the West.
He wants to prevent the invasion.

173
00:16:05,161 --> 00:16:09,601
Convince him. Is Rommel with ,
we get the support of the front.

174
00:16:09,601 --> 00:16:14,041
And of the people. Do not forget
he is our most popular general .

175
00:16:17,521 --> 00:16:23,041
A major step : from Fuhrer minion
the figurehead of the coup.

176
00:16:23,041 --> 00:16:26,521
- But the only thing possible .
- I must see him.

177
00:16:26,521 --> 00:16:31,481
Preferably without the Gestapo know .
Can you arrange that?

178
00:16:36,761 --> 00:16:40,481
Rommel HEADQUARTERS
April 28, 1944

179
00:17:01,681 --> 00:17:06,921
- Guderian decides on the tanks .
- Not Führer ?

180
00:17:06,921 --> 00:17:13,761
Führer asked me to inspect them and
submit recommendation. What do you think ?

181
00:17:13,761 --> 00:17:18,721
It should be the second Panzer division ,
Geyr . Yet is this .

182
00:17:20,481 --> 00:17:26,481
The enemy disembark quickly airborne
divisions with anti-tank guns .

183
00:17:26,481 --> 00:17:32,921
That's why the tanks no avail
the coast, with the enemy in the back.

184
00:17:32,921 --> 00:17:39,121
The enemy does your tanks to reach
coast and can build their beachhead .

185
00:17:45,081 --> 00:17:49,761
How do you protect our tanks
from their sjöartilleri ?

186
00:17:49,761 --> 00:17:52,361
We bury them.

187
00:17:53,801 --> 00:17:56,521
- Bury them?
- Yes.

188
00:17:56,521 --> 00:18:03,561
Is not their strength in combination
of armor , firepower and mobility?

189
00:18:04,401 --> 00:18:10,721
During the campaign against France was traveling
s spökdivision not fast enough.

190
00:18:11,921 --> 00:18:15,881
Führer has expressly approved
my plans.

191
00:18:15,881 --> 00:18:18,161
He has not decided yet.

192
00:18:18,161 --> 00:18:23,041
Until then reads armored divisions
under the Commander in the West.

193
00:18:25,041 --> 00:18:27,721
Then we can end this now.

194
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:41,001
It did not go well in Africa.
Now he wants to be something here.

195
00:18:41,001 --> 00:18:43,401
Get him to see reason .

196
00:18:43,401 --> 00:18:49,601
He can not prevent an attack
with infantry hiding behind tanks.

197
00:18:49,601 --> 00:18:53,161
- Field Marshal knows what he's doing.
- Really?

198
00:18:53,161 --> 00:18:58,281
Actually , he has never been more
than a viable division commander .

199
00:19:12,441 --> 00:19:17,161
So it is with the Führer. The last
who meets him is always right.

200
00:19:17,161 --> 00:19:19,721
Let's go a round , Speidel .

201
00:19:21,561 --> 00:19:25,921
Rundstedt is old and tired.
He gave up a long time ago .

202
00:19:25,921 --> 00:19:29,161
And Guderian has been a yes men .

203
00:19:30,201 --> 00:19:32,801
Take the consequences.

204
00:19:33,961 --> 00:19:37,521
- Take matters into your own hands.
- What do you mean?

205
00:19:40,961 --> 00:19:45,481
Request to be commander in chief in the West.
Give Hitler an ultimatum .

206
00:19:45,481 --> 00:19:50,481
- He needs you. You are well-liked.
- Should I threaten Führer ?

207
00:19:50,481 --> 00:19:55,801
- If you want to prevent the invasion.
- So, you achieve nothing with the Führer.

208
00:19:55,801 --> 00:20:00,161
Less you , recognize the people and the Fuhrer
that the war can not be won .

209
00:20:00,161 --> 00:20:05,761
Quiet, Speidel . I want you here
as chief of staff a while.

210
00:20:07,721 --> 00:20:12,201
- What liberally to let them stay here.
- Thoughtless , you mean ?

211
00:20:12,201 --> 00:20:16,601
The French aristocracy
fear the Bolsheviks more than we do.

212
00:20:16,601 --> 00:20:20,681
Count worship the Fuhrer .
That kid man is his son.

213
00:20:22,361 --> 00:20:25,121
As old as our Manfred.

214
00:20:25,121 --> 00:20:28,241
Our son is air defense aide in Ulm.

215
00:20:28,241 --> 00:20:32,121
Recently , he wanted to join the Waffen- SS.

216
00:20:32,121 --> 00:20:35,561
I forbade him to do so.

217
00:20:35,561 --> 00:20:39,121
Now you may ask , but ...

218
00:20:39,121 --> 00:20:43,721
You know, I 've heard
terrible stories .

219
00:20:43,721 --> 00:20:50,041
If the mass executions . and massacres
of Jews in the occupied territories .

220
00:20:50,041 --> 00:20:54,401
You were on the eastern front .
Can you confirm this?

221
00:20:54,401 --> 00:20:58,961
It also takes place in France.
They yet deporting Jews.

222
00:20:58,961 --> 00:21:03,681
SS searching through
for hidden Jewish children .

223
00:21:04,721 --> 00:21:08,241
- How do you know?
- In Paris, army management , there ...

224
00:21:08,241 --> 00:21:10,681
... those who do not find themselves in it .

225
00:21:12,521 --> 00:21:17,921
So yeah ... You have to get used to the lightning
and thunder to be a soldier .

226
00:21:17,921 --> 00:21:22,041
Our Manfred cried too
when he was photographed .

227
00:21:22,041 --> 00:21:28,841
Stülpnagel . Speidel cheated well not here
me to calm screaming babies?

228
00:21:28,841 --> 00:21:30,561
A MANSION NEAR PARIS
14 MAJ 1944

229
00:21:30,561 --> 00:21:36,521
In case of extreme emergency must
forcing Hitler to yield.

230
00:21:36,521 --> 00:21:41,161
- What do you mean by "force" ?
- To arrest him .

231
00:21:41,161 --> 00:21:46,761
And bring him to justice for
the crimes he has committed in the name of the people .

232
00:21:46,761 --> 00:21:50,681
Mr von Stülpnagel ,
what you are proposing is a military coup.

233
00:21:50,681 --> 00:21:55,481
Do you think you can find a single general
ready for that?

234
00:21:55,481 --> 00:22:00,481
A group of prominent men
at our disposal .

235
00:22:00,481 --> 00:22:03,921
There have been coup plans
even earlier.

236
00:22:03,921 --> 00:22:08,001
Some yielded their
to liberate Germany from Hitler.

237
00:22:08,001 --> 00:22:10,361
Daring to their lives ?

238
00:22:11,961 --> 00:22:16,161
- An attack , then?
- Not if it can be avoided .

239
00:22:19,641 --> 00:22:22,241
Know all about it?

240
00:22:22,241 --> 00:22:26,281
- Only in Berlin , the details .
- It is high treason.

241
00:22:26,281 --> 00:22:29,281
Hitler betray long Germany.

242
00:22:29,281 --> 00:22:35,401
Closes we are not at peace with the Allies
Now , the Russians take Berlin in the autumn.

243
00:22:36,441 --> 00:22:40,041
Although you have sworn an oath .
Do not forget it .

244
00:22:50,841 --> 00:22:53,761
Now he runs to the Führer .

245
00:23:19,601 --> 00:23:23,241
How long have you known
these plans ?

246
00:23:23,241 --> 00:23:25,721
A while.

247
00:23:25,721 --> 00:23:29,681
You know what is required of me
the obedient soldier.

248
00:23:30,721 --> 00:23:33,361
Do what you must do.

249
00:23:38,841 --> 00:23:41,441
Damn it .

250
00:23:46,401 --> 00:23:49,481
Give it here . It can be mended .

251
00:23:56,201 --> 00:24:00,321
FRANCE , THE CHANNEL COAST

Watch out ! They come, they come !
Here we go ! It begins!

254
00:25:10,001 --> 00:25:11,881
Miss. Damn, then.

255
00:25:15,321 --> 00:25:18,401
Speidel , dammit . What is happening?

256
00:25:18,401 --> 00:25:21,201
Have Englishmen landed ?

257
00:25:21,201 --> 00:25:26,841
- A British raid averted near Calais .
- On the Channel coast ?

258
00:25:26,841 --> 00:25:31,561
A British military officers were arrested.
He was handed over to the Gestapo.

259
00:25:31,561 --> 00:25:35,161
- In Paris ?
- You can be the chain of command.

260
00:25:53,481 --> 00:25:57,201
SS HEADQUARTERS IN PARIS

262
00:26:06,801 --> 00:26:10,801
Good, Lieutenant General .
We'll take him.

263
00:26:10,801 --> 00:26:13,881
- What ?
- Rommel want to meet him.

264

You can command the order. he
to be executed as soon as he talked .

265
00:26:20,721 --> 00:26:24,761
- He certainly has not spoken yet.
- Within 12 hours , you know ...

266
00:26:24,761 --> 00:26:30,601
- ... Where and when the invasion occurs.
- Certainly. But we have our methods.

267
00:26:31,921 --> 00:26:35,641
You tell enough for me
if your methods sometime.

268
00:26:35,641 --> 00:26:38,481
Feel it . - Take him away .

- Here is the British lieutenant .
- Take off his handcuffs .

271
00:27:13,481 --> 00:27:17,601
How is my old friend Montgomery?
- Translate .

272
00:27:17,601 --> 00:27:22,041
- He understands you.
- How the Brits want war now?

273
00:27:22,041 --> 00:27:27,361
- And what was there in Africa?
- Tjafs . Compared to what awaits .

274
00:27:28,321 --> 00:27:31,361
Have a seat .

275
00:27:38,881 --> 00:27:41,881
Well , Lieutenant ...

276
00:27:44,401 --> 00:27:48,001
Actually , we have the same enemy .

277
00:27:48,001 --> 00:27:50,401
And he 's in Russia.

278
00:27:51,401 --> 00:27:56,001
- Why do we fight not side by side?
- It would be hard .

279
00:27:56,001 --> 00:28:01,201
We Brits think that certain things
you Germans do, is disgusting.

280
00:28:01,201 --> 00:28:05,121
- What do you mean?
- The way you treat Jews .

281
00:28:05,121 --> 00:28:10,361
It's politics. We are soldiers.
We have nothing to do with politics .

282
00:28:11,401 --> 00:28:15,921
That your Führer exterminate an entire people ,
is it just politics?

283
00:28:22,521 --> 00:28:26,961
- It could change.
- It's too late , Field Marshal .

284

- Countess .
- What will happen to him ?

286
00:28:53,441 --> 00:28:56,641
And command the order, then?

287
00:28:56,641 --> 00:29:00,601
- What do you know about it?
- You hear a lot.

288
00:29:00,601 --> 00:29:04,601
- I'll make sure nothing happens to him .
- But can you do it?

289
00:29:04,601 --> 00:29:10,841
- Yes , I'm the commander in chief .
- There are many in France.

290
00:29:10,841 --> 00:29:13,521
And then there's the SS.

291
00:29:17,161 --> 00:29:20,321
Countess . Wait a minute.

292
00:29:34,121 --> 00:29:40,521
Excuse me ... but can you get hold of
those here in Paris?

293
00:29:40,521 --> 00:29:44,801
- For my wife's birthday.
- You have good taste.

294
00:29:45,841 --> 00:29:49,601
S uncle hope
that we can beat back the enemy.

295
00:29:49,601 --> 00:29:51,761
What do you hope ?

296
00:29:53,601 --> 00:29:57,241
- Who are you ?
- We are lost , whatever.

297
00:30:02,001 --> 00:30:06,241
Given our fortifications,
morale of the troops -

298
00:30:06,241 --> 00:30:10,361
- Our new armament
and the weapons we have been given -

299
00:30:10,361 --> 00:30:14,361
- We look forward to coming times
with great calm .

300
00:30:14,361 --> 00:30:16,321
And ...

301
00:30:17,361 --> 00:30:21,681
... do not worry
about how it should go. It's fine .

302
00:30:21,681 --> 00:30:26,601
And I do not
that the British are returning for a second time .

303
00:30:28,281 --> 00:30:31,881
- Was it good?
- Excellent . Very convincing.

304
00:30:31,881 --> 00:30:34,841
Good .

305
00:30:34,841 --> 00:30:39,721
I heard that a British soldier
was captured in Calais.

306
00:30:39,721 --> 00:30:45,481
- Do you believe that the invasion happens there ?
- The place where you least expect it .

307
00:30:45,481 --> 00:30:47,721
Then they learn to come to me .

308
00:30:47,721 --> 00:30:53,761
They go to church on Sunday , will set sail
on Monday and will be here on Tuesday.

309
00:30:53,761 --> 00:30:57,881
- Why do you think that?
- My birthday is on Tuesday.

310
00:30:57,881 --> 00:31:01,041
- My wife too.
- There you are .

311
00:31:01,041 --> 00:31:04,841
From the high command ,
Colonel General Jodl .

312
00:31:10,241 --> 00:31:13,041
- Hell .
- Bad news ?

313
00:31:24,401 --> 00:31:30,521
Führer gives me three armored divisions .
The rest I ask later.

314
00:31:30,521 --> 00:31:36,601
Should I send a written request
when the enemy lands ?

315
00:31:36,601 --> 00:31:38,801
I have to meet Hitler.

316
00:31:38,801 --> 00:31:43,601
He gets misinformation
of the bad guys around him.

317
00:31:43,601 --> 00:31:47,801
- Do you really believe that?
- You and your friends do not believe it .

318
00:31:47,801 --> 00:31:52,561
But what do you expect ?
That I passively watching the chaos ?

319
00:31:52,561 --> 00:31:58,361
I do not remember as commander
who led his soldiers to slaughter.

320
00:31:58,361 --> 00:32:02,641
- There are other options .
- I do not believe in them.

321
00:32:03,521 --> 00:32:08,961
Put me through to the Führer's headquarters.
The Fuehrer 's adjutant . I can not wait.

322
00:32:11,681 --> 00:32:16,161
Do you like shoes?
A birthday present for my wife.

323
00:32:16,161 --> 00:32:19,041
Very elegant . She'll be happy enough.

324
00:32:19,041 --> 00:32:23,801
It will be storm and very cloudy
until 10 June.

325
00:32:23,801 --> 00:32:26,441
So you can safely go .

326
00:32:28,081 --> 00:32:32,081
- A good trip.
- Keep track of everything here.

327
00:32:32,081 --> 00:32:35,921
<i> - Monsieur , le comte .
- Pour votre épouse . < / I ></i>

328
00:32:36,481 --> 00:32:40,641
<i>- To your wife a happy birthday.
- Oh,  merci . </ I></i>

329
00:32:40,641 --> 00:32:44,401
<i> - Au revoir .
- Au revoir . </ I></i>

330
00:32:50,801 --> 00:32:56,961
<i> One thing is certain . invasion set
enemy facing a crushing down ... </ i></i>

331
00:33:08,201 --> 00:33:11,041
There you are , Manfred.

332
00:33:12,521 --> 00:33:15,961
- Good day , Father.
- Good day , my son.

333
00:33:15,961 --> 00:33:19,561
- You look good in uniform.
- Can I still take it ?

334
00:33:19,561 --> 00:33:24,401
He must be back tonight .
He got permission , but did not .

335
00:33:25,961 --> 00:33:31,681
Very good . I'm proud of you.
Go to your room, we'll see you later.

336
00:33:35,121 --> 00:33:39,001
He is sorry that you were against
he joined the Waffen- SS.

337
00:33:39,001 --> 00:33:41,841
I have not changed my mind .

338
00:33:43,881 --> 00:33:46,281
I'm glad you could come.

339
00:33:46,281 --> 00:33:49,601
I'm going to the Führer .
Problems in France.

340
00:33:49,601 --> 00:33:52,761
Put yourself . You seem a little irritable.

341
00:33:58,241 --> 00:34:04,361
Lu, do you remember where
as Strölin recently told ?

342
00:34:05,041 --> 00:34:09,521
- That the gas kill Jews in the East?
- Please stop .

343
00:34:09,521 --> 00:34:13,441
Strölin a Nazi
and Lord Mayor of Stuttgart.

344
00:34:13,441 --> 00:34:17,841
Although he has sent Jews to the East.
Why does he say so ?

345
00:34:17,841 --> 00:34:21,841
It happens even in France,
before my eyes .

346
00:34:24,281 --> 00:34:27,201
I thought there were isolated cases.

347
00:34:29,121 --> 00:34:32,161
But those at the top are not decent .

348
00:34:33,201 --> 00:34:35,961
What do you mean by "those at the top" ?

349
00:34:41,721 --> 00:34:45,881
You know where we live ,
what was here before.

350
00:34:45,881 --> 00:34:48,361
Yes.

351
00:34:48,361 --> 00:34:53,841
- A jew boarding school.
- Then we should move.

352
00:34:54,881 --> 00:34:56,521
Do not believe that.

353
00:34:57,761 --> 00:35:02,561
We are not preventing him from speaking
in radio , he gets to the masses .

354
00:35:02,561 --> 00:35:05,841
We must be
as eloquent as Hitler.

355
00:35:05,841 --> 00:35:10,641
Are we not,
it does not help with an attack .

356
00:35:13,521 --> 00:35:17,241
- Yes, Colonel ?
- A radio monitors ...

357
00:35:17,241 --> 00:35:20,161
perceived ... the end of the message.

358
00:35:20,161 --> 00:35:26,041
Colonel General von Salmuth has set
the whole army on alert in Calais.

359
00:35:26,041 --> 00:35:28,721
Should I alert the seventh in Normandy ?

360
00:35:28,721 --> 00:35:32,481
Call Rundstedts staff .
Let them decide.

361
00:35:36,801 --> 00:35:39,561
So here we go ...

362
00:35:39,561 --> 00:35:42,641
It's probably just the usual hysteria .

363
00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:46,721
NORMANDY
6 JUNI 1944 , 01:00

364
00:35:47,921 --> 00:35:50,841
There they are. I knew it.

365
00:35:52,721 --> 00:35:56,321
Notify Rommel's staff
it starts now.

366
00:36:11,201 --> 00:36:15,441
- What is the situation in Calais ?
- The country set there too.

367
00:36:15,441 --> 00:36:21,241
With cargo glider . The two prisoners
there will be more land subsidence .

368
00:36:21,241 --> 00:36:24,401
We can send 21 to Normandy.

369
00:36:26,721 --> 00:36:32,241
Commander of the 21st unresponsive.
He is in Paris with his chief of staff.

370
00:36:32,241 --> 00:36:35,721
- What ?
- General Speidel . Phone .

371
00:36:38,121 --> 00:36:40,321
Yes ?

372
00:36:41,361 --> 00:36:46,521
Roger that. Very good . Thank you.
And happy birthday , sir.

373
00:36:47,561 --> 00:36:52,081
It was Marcks .
The British are attacking with straw dolls.

374
00:36:53,121 --> 00:36:57,521
But he thinks he can handle it
on their own.

375
00:36:59,641 --> 00:37:04,401
- What do we do now ?
- Yes, what? We go to bed.

376
00:37:06,601 --> 00:37:12,241
Normandy, 06:00

377
00:37:12,241 --> 00:37:17,201
ONLY ON THE LIGHT OF WINDOW
AND DOORS ARE CLOSED

378
00:37:17,201 --> 00:37:21,281
E ARMY Karens PICKET

379
00:37:35,001 --> 00:37:39,801
British sjöartilleri .
Churchill happy birthday .

380
00:37:46,281 --> 00:37:50,561
OMAHA BEACH
NORMANDY , 06:30

381
00:38:13,081 --> 00:38:17,321
Rommel HOME
In MEN LINGEN , 09:00

382
00:38:27,121 --> 00:38:31,921
Armed Forces ordered me to deliver
these flowers to your wife.

383
00:38:31,921 --> 00:38:35,441
With heartfelt congratulations
from Führer .

384
00:38:45,161 --> 00:38:49,321
Take good care of them , Karolina .
They are from the Führer.

385
00:38:53,401 --> 00:38:57,441
Commander Loistl , Army Group B.

386
00:38:57,441 --> 00:39:00,441
Sure . Just a moment .

387
00:39:07,121 --> 00:39:10,721
You have a telephone, Field Marshal .

388
00:39:10,721 --> 00:39:13,961
It must be Fuhrer headquarters.

389
00:39:19,441 --> 00:39:23,561
Yes ? Speidel ? What gives?

390
00:39:23,561 --> 00:39:27,881
Have they landed ? Where?
How does our counterattack ?

391
00:39:28,921 --> 00:39:33,961
Let division attack directly .
Do not wait for reinforcements. Seizures.

392
00:39:49,001 --> 00:39:52,681
- I'm sorry.
- It can not be helped.

393
00:39:52,681 --> 00:39:56,481
- Now, in all cases the waiting over .
- Yes.

394
00:39:58,761 --> 00:40:02,081
Take care, Lu . Take care.

395
00:40:29,081 --> 00:40:31,601
They do not fit , Karolina .

396
00:40:32,201 --> 00:40:35,721
Rommel HEADQUARTERS ,
22:30

397
00:40:46,041 --> 00:40:49,561
We are the General Staff of the bunker.

398
00:40:49,561 --> 00:40:52,601
I hope it looks better now.

399
00:40:52,601 --> 00:40:58,041
The enemy has already landed
150,000 heavily armed soldiers.

400
00:40:58,041 --> 00:41:03,761
They control 130 square kilometers.
British 6th Airborne Division -

401
00:41:03,761 --> 00:41:07,041
- Have taken the bridge over the Orne .

402
00:41:07,041 --> 00:41:13,361
They also crushed our artillery
Merville , albeit with heavy losses .

403
00:41:13,361 --> 00:41:18,121
- Is that all?
- The information is scarce.

404
00:41:18,121 --> 00:41:21,001
Radio traffic disturbed by the enemy.

405
00:41:21,001 --> 00:41:26,121
The French have sabotaged
telephone lines and roads maintenance .

406
00:41:26,121 --> 00:41:30,081
We must expect
a second major offensive .

407
00:41:30,081 --> 00:41:33,281
They have darkened the coast at Dover.

408
00:41:33,281 --> 00:41:38,201
Say it out loud , Speidel .
You have failed .

409
00:41:43,961 --> 00:41:49,041
Fuhrer HEADQUARTERS
In MARGIVAL , 17 JUNI 1944

410
00:42:00,681 --> 00:42:04,041
Field Marshal Erna von Rundstedt
and Rommel .

411
00:42:11,001 --> 00:42:14,441
Thanks for coming .
Go ahead and sit down.

412
00:42:18,881 --> 00:42:25,681
I must say I am speechless over
your local masters failures.

413
00:42:25,681 --> 00:42:29,441
The armed forces were taken by surprise
with his pants down .

414
00:42:29,441 --> 00:42:32,921
That says a lot
about the condition of your soldiers .

415
00:42:32,921 --> 00:42:36,241
That's the enemy propaganda.

416
00:42:36,241 --> 00:42:40,401
Call it what you want.
But the landing was not hindered .

417
00:42:40,401 --> 00:42:45,761
- What you assured would happen.
- The forces fighting sacrificing.

418
00:42:45,761 --> 00:42:52,001
That we could not prevent the invasion
is anti-aircraft and naval wrong.

419
00:42:52,001 --> 00:42:56,481
The Army has made ??a superhuman effort
in an unequal battle.

420
00:42:56,481 --> 00:43:01,401
But the enemy's superiority in the air
and that their fleet had to work undisturbed

421
00:43:01,401 --> 00:43:05,761
- Made it impossible
to fight the enemy as planned.

422
00:43:07,081 --> 00:43:14,081
It is unfortunate that no ... for over -
command knew the situation at the front.

423
00:43:14,081 --> 00:43:18,121
Instead
believed in the enemy's propaganda.

424
00:43:18,121 --> 00:43:23,961
It is crucial to maintain Cherbourg .
If not, take the enemy Normandy

425
00:43:23,961 --> 00:43:27,001
- And maybe all of France.

426
00:43:30,681 --> 00:43:37,681
We must choose between keeping ...
Cherbourg ... and to prevent the enemy .

427
00:43:37,681 --> 00:43:40,401
We can not do both.

428
00:43:40,401 --> 00:43:43,761
Do you have the same opinion , von Rundstedt ?

429
00:43:43,761 --> 00:43:48,201
We must give up the rigid system
by Peninsula

430
00:43:48,201 --> 00:43:53,641
- And embark on an orderly retreat
to the port and fortress .

431
00:43:53,641 --> 00:43:58,121
And at Caen, in front of Orne,
we should avoid ...

432
00:43:58,121 --> 00:44:03,761
We will not know anything! It applies
to stand up, hold on and die!

433
00:44:03,761 --> 00:44:08,241
Designate a particular skilled commander
Cherbourg .

434
00:44:08,241 --> 00:44:14,721
Show field groomsmen how devastating
our retaliation is the enemy.

435
00:44:18,121 --> 00:44:24,441
Since yesterday , we have continually fired
V1 missiles against London.

436
00:44:24,441 --> 00:44:27,681
All bar one ton of explosives .

437
00:44:27,681 --> 00:44:30,641
We have received many great hits .

438
00:44:30,641 --> 00:44:36,481
According to our agents can handle civil
population not much more, and ...

439
00:44:36,481 --> 00:44:40,481
A hostile bomb dressing
approaching our airspace .

440
00:44:43,041 --> 00:44:47,001
My Führer , we should probably
go to the shelter.

441
00:45:03,561 --> 00:45:08,361
And now ? We need to tell
that the situation is hopeless.

442
00:45:08,361 --> 00:45:12,401
- He only listens to you.
- You are the commander in chief in the West.

443
00:45:12,401 --> 00:45:17,761
My power is just enough to move
my guards from left to right.

444
00:45:36,841 --> 00:45:41,561
My Führer , you know
I am your faithful servant.

445
00:45:41,561 --> 00:45:44,961
- Can I ?
- Have a seat .

446
00:45:58,041 --> 00:46:00,041
Do not you think ...

447
00:46:01,081 --> 00:46:05,001
... it's time
to consider other options?

448
00:46:10,441 --> 00:46:14,241
- What do you mean?
- To negotiate .

449
00:46:19,321 --> 00:46:22,361
No longer want to negotiate with me.

450
00:46:22,361 --> 00:46:26,161
The enemy thinks obliterate Germany.

451
00:46:26,161 --> 00:46:31,801
Now we only have each individual
fanatical resistance.

452
00:46:32,841 --> 00:46:35,201
Are you prepared for that?

453
00:46:37,201 --> 00:46:39,961
Are you prepared for it, Rommel ?

454
00:46:41,561 --> 00:46:42,841
Yes.

455
00:46:54,961 --> 00:46:59,881
" Where knowledge and ability ends
and intuition takes over " -

456
00:46:59,881 --> 00:47:04,601
- " In the sensory perception ability
and inspiration " -

457
00:47:04,601 --> 00:47:09,401
- "Are general's leadership.
It possesses Rommel . "

458
00:47:09,401 --> 00:47:12,281
You certainly amuses you .

459
00:47:13,601 --> 00:47:16,961
- General Field Marshal .
- Good criticism?

460
00:47:16,961 --> 00:47:19,201
Here you are.

461
00:47:23,481 --> 00:47:26,601
Fuehrer wants to keep Cherbourg .

462
00:47:26,601 --> 00:47:29,321
And stand west of the Orne .

463
00:47:29,321 --> 00:47:33,081
Begin the necessary preparations ,
Speidel .

464
00:47:33,081 --> 00:47:37,201
Can General Marcks do
a diversion ?

465
00:47:37,201 --> 00:47:41,321
General Marcks killed
in a hostile air attack .

466
00:47:44,841 --> 00:47:48,601
Do you want today's total loss figures?

467
00:47:50,041 --> 00:47:52,641
No, it is not necessary.

468
00:47:53,281 --> 00:47:55,801
Gentlemen .

469
00:48:08,721 --> 00:48:12,641
GERMAN POSITION NEAR CAEN
20 JUNI 1944

470
00:48:19,561 --> 00:48:24,521
Once you have taken the height , you protect
road to Bayeux. Best of luck.

471
00:48:24,521 --> 00:48:26,961
Thank you, Field Marshal .

472
00:48:29,841 --> 00:48:35,361
- Let the Brits have a fiery !
- Yes, Field Marshal !

473
00:48:35,361 --> 00:48:37,361
Good .

474
00:48:40,481 --> 00:48:44,161
- Good luck.
- Thank you, Field Marshal .

475
00:49:16,961 --> 00:49:22,601
- Back , Daniel. We must return.
- It is madness . We must here .

476
00:49:23,401 --> 00:49:25,361
Oh well ...

477
00:49:26,921 --> 00:49:31,161
Well, Daniel. Run.

478
00:50:06,561 --> 00:50:10,641
Who's there?
Come forward . Hello?

479
00:50:12,001 --> 00:50:14,121
<i> Bonsoir . < / i ></i>

480
00:50:14,121 --> 00:50:17,961
Sorry. It was not supposed
to scare you.

481
00:50:17,961 --> 00:50:22,921
- What are the Countess this?
- I often come here . It's beautiful.

482
00:50:22,921 --> 00:50:28,081
Our soldiers may think you are
partisan, or British agent .

483
00:50:28,081 --> 00:50:32,521
- Maybe I am.
- Then I might look up.

484
00:50:32,521 --> 00:50:37,441
- I would be a great trophy for the British.
- Yes. Desert Fox .

485
00:50:38,201 --> 00:50:44,441
Long time no see . Now I am only he
who could not stop the invasion .

486
00:50:44,441 --> 00:50:49,121
- I'm sorry you do it?
- I am a soldier. Do not forget it .

487
00:50:52,321 --> 00:50:57,281
I 'll tell the men
that you are walking around up here.

488
00:51:01,441 --> 00:51:04,041
<i> Dear Lu . I'm fine . </ I></i>

489
00:51:04,041 --> 00:51:09,121
<i> I must not lose heart .
Although much hope has been dashed . </ I></i>

490
00:51:09,121 --> 00:51:11,081
Yes ?

491
00:51:14,001 --> 00:51:18,481
The Russians have broken through
Army Group Mitte.

492
00:51:18,481 --> 00:51:23,281
Seven German divisions have surrendered.
The front is in dissolution .

493
00:51:30,681 --> 00:51:33,321
It's probably out of the east.

494
00:51:33,321 --> 00:51:35,921
Yes.

495
00:51:35,921 --> 00:51:39,161
It will be nice when next week is over.

496
00:51:43,601 --> 00:51:46,841
There was one more thing.

497
00:51:56,801 --> 00:52:01,961
- Where is it?
- Småstaden Oradour , near Limoges .

498
00:52:01,961 --> 00:52:06,241
a SS- Panzer division
leveled it to the ground.

499
00:52:06,241 --> 00:52:11,081
All residents were killed ...
which 450 women and children.

500
00:52:11,081 --> 00:52:16,241
- Revenge of the abducted SS officer .
- How do you know this?

501
00:52:16,241 --> 00:52:21,121
Army management .
Stülpnagel have already protested.

502
00:52:21,121 --> 00:52:26,841
Hitler has banned the responsible
officer successor to justice.

503
00:52:28,401 --> 00:52:30,321
Really?

504
00:52:40,401 --> 00:52:42,641
Good night.

505
00:52:50,121 --> 00:52:52,281
Good night.

506
00:53:00,001 --> 00:53:05,761
Poor bastards . Mom said I should
thank God that I ended up with you.

507
00:53:05,761 --> 00:53:09,721
- Why?
- With you , nothing can happen to me.

508
00:53:47,601 --> 00:53:52,041
The new quartermaster ,
Colonel Finckh , has come now.

509
00:53:52,041 --> 00:53:56,561
- He wants to present itself .
- Good, I will soon.

510
00:53:56,561 --> 00:53:59,801
- Field Marshal ...
- What is it?

511
00:54:01,321 --> 00:54:07,961
Führer want you to do a dissipative
attacks against Americans in Cherbourg .

512
00:54:07,961 --> 00:54:11,721
He wants to 7th Army, advancing
on the west flank.

513
00:54:11,721 --> 00:54:18,201
Explain that we are only able to keep
our defense line in western Normandy.

514
00:54:18,201 --> 00:54:21,401
The front is inappropriate for an attack.

515
00:54:27,201 --> 00:54:30,441
Today telephoned General Marcks brother.

516
00:54:30,441 --> 00:54:34,841
He wanted to know exactly to the minute
when the general died .

517
00:54:34,841 --> 00:54:36,361
Why ?

518
00:54:36,361 --> 00:54:41,521
At 11 o'clock that day fell general's
photo down from the wall of his brother.

519
00:54:41,521 --> 00:54:45,321
- And ?
- General met ten forty-five .

520
00:54:45,321 --> 00:54:50,001
- Exactly 11 , he died . Unbelievable, huh ?
- Do you believe in miracles ?

521
00:54:50,001 --> 00:54:54,681
It just makes Hitler. LEASTWAYS
what the course of the war .

522
00:54:54,681 --> 00:55:00,641
"Do not say bridgehead , but the last part
of France as the enemy occupying. "

523
00:55:02,241 --> 00:55:05,641
Cherbourg fall within three days.

524
00:55:05,641 --> 00:55:10,481
Within four weeks of the enemy breaks through
and storms to the Reich frontier .

525
00:55:10,481 --> 00:55:15,761
We can only pray that the Allies
is faster than the Russians.

526
00:55:17,681 --> 00:55:23,441
- You are not alone in thinking so .
- I think everyone here agrees .

527
00:55:24,481 --> 00:55:27,561
Not true, Dr. Speidel ?

528
00:55:28,521 --> 00:55:35,361
Hitler is furious. He can not
draw conclusions or make decisions.

529
00:55:35,361 --> 00:55:40,521
Just saying : "To the last man ,"
gives nothing , except a disaster.

530
00:55:41,321 --> 00:55:45,561
The idea of ??an attack on Cherbourg
is pure idiocy .

531
00:55:48,721 --> 00:55:53,441
You 're the only ELIGIBLE Germany .
To end the war .

532
00:55:53,441 --> 00:55:58,041
- There are others who are for war.
- Then it is they who must be shot .

533
00:55:58,041 --> 00:56:00,881
If it is not possible otherwise .

534
00:56:00,881 --> 00:56:05,281
Good God, Speidel .
You 're a true warrior .

535
00:56:06,201 --> 00:56:08,721
<i> Battle of Cherbourg , </ i ></i>

536
00:56:08,721 --> 00:56:13,321
<i> - the enemy has devastated
large parts of the city ... </ i></i>

537
00:56:13,321 --> 00:56:19,521
<i> On the odd factories and bases
fluttering banner of resistance yet . </ i></i>

538
00:56:19,521 --> 00:56:27,121
<i> yet waged hot , bloody battles
on city streets. </ i></i>

539
00:56:27,761 --> 00:56:32,001
Rommel HEADQUARTERS
25 JUNI 1944

540
00:56:33,361 --> 00:56:37,561
From General von Schlieben :
" The final battle of Cherbourg . "

541
00:56:37,561 --> 00:56:41,721
" We attacked with tanks.
Where is fly in aid? "

542
00:56:42,761 --> 00:56:48,561
" Flight Over The aid can not
penetrate hostile roadblocks . "

543
00:56:48,561 --> 00:56:54,241
" The Fuhrer's orders , you shall fight
to the last bullet . May God be with you. "

544
00:56:54,241 --> 00:56:59,921
Fuhrer's orders were to the last man .
Should you really undermine it?

545
00:56:59,921 --> 00:57:05,761
- Male or bullet, what is the difference?
- Kula means surrender, not dead.

546
00:57:07,881 --> 00:57:11,681
I hope that the general interpretation of the
just like that.

547
00:57:22,201 --> 00:57:27,841
<i> Armed Forces in Cherbourg entered
in the German hero story , </ i ></i>

548
00:57:27,841 --> 00:57:30,601
<i> - and made ??himself immortal . </ i></i>

549
00:57:30,601 --> 00:57:33,801
<i> In large bunkers , there were men , </ i ></i>

550
00:57:33,801 --> 00:57:38,321
<i> - which had been bricked in , and defended
through portholes . </ i></i>

551
00:57:38,321 --> 00:57:43,961
<i> They did run out of their last bullets
and then blew themselves up in the air. </ i></i>

552
00:57:43,961 --> 00:57:49,481
<i> If a nation at war five years , </ i ></i>

553
00:57:49,481 --> 00:57:52,761
<i> - can perform such acts ... </ i></i>

554
00:57:57,081 --> 00:58:01,161
- Are you sure? He travels to Germany?
- Yes.

555
00:58:01,161 --> 00:58:04,081
He was directed to Obersalzberg .

556
00:58:04,081 --> 00:58:08,601
How can you be so well informed ,
Duchess ?

557
00:58:08,601 --> 00:58:11,721
I take care of my job. Did you shoot yours.

558
00:58:11,721 --> 00:58:14,721
Do you really want me to do this ?

559
00:58:19,281 --> 00:58:21,241
Thank you.

560
00:58:43,881 --> 00:58:49,641
You do realize headquarters seeking
a scapegoat for Cherbourg case?

561
00:58:49,641 --> 00:58:54,561
- You or me.
- I declare that the war should end .

562
00:58:54,561 --> 00:58:58,961
- The whole world is clearly against us.
- What would you have me do?

563
00:58:58,961 --> 00:59:03,401
- That you do not remain silent . Stay with me.
- You are right .

564
00:59:03,401 --> 00:59:05,921
We sacrifice both of us.

565
00:59:15,161 --> 00:59:18,561
He will give way again .
Just wait .

566
00:59:19,041 --> 00:59:22,401
Obersalzberg
29 JUNI 1944

567
00:59:28,441 --> 00:59:31,761
It's six o'clock . They let us wait.

568
00:59:38,281 --> 00:59:44,281
Are you here von Kluge ? How nice that you
recovered you so quickly after the accident.

569
00:59:44,281 --> 00:59:48,961
Thank you. Führer asked me to assess
the situation in the East.

570
00:59:50,841 --> 00:59:55,481
Excuse me,
but my plane to Berlin waiting.

571
00:59:57,601 --> 01:00:00,241
<i> Attention on deck . Look ahead . </ I></i>

572
01:00:13,521 --> 01:00:16,161
Make your statement .

573
01:00:28,401 --> 01:00:33,161
My Führer , I'm here
as commander of Army Group B.

574
01:00:34,201 --> 01:00:37,361
It's probably the last chance I have -

575
01:00:37,361 --> 01:00:43,321
- To describe the situation on the western front
for those of you who are responsible for the people.

576
01:00:43,321 --> 01:00:49,441
- I'll start with the political situation .
- You manifest your only in military affairs.

577
01:00:49,441 --> 01:00:54,001
My responsibility towards Germany
forcing me into it .

578
01:00:54,001 --> 01:00:58,481
I did not ask for your personal opinion
about world politics.

579
01:00:58,481 --> 01:01:02,401
Please adhere solely to the purely military .

580
01:01:02,401 --> 01:01:07,241
You know how disappointed I am
that you did not manage -

581
01:01:07,241 --> 01:01:13,401
- To attack the Cotentin Peninsula .
Cherbourg had not had to fall.

582
01:01:13,401 --> 01:01:18,321
The side with the best maintenance roads
always win battles .

583
01:01:18,321 --> 01:01:23,001
Montgomery maintenance pathways
was more vulnerable than yours.

584
01:01:23,001 --> 01:01:29,121
But the advantage you lost
because you were so hesitant .

585
01:01:29,121 --> 01:01:33,441
Now we have to lock the British in Caen,
implement a counterattack -

586
01:01:33,441 --> 01:01:36,801
- And let the enemy bleed to death in Normandy.

587
01:01:38,121 --> 01:01:42,721
National Secretary ,
you get the generals' reports .

588
01:01:42,721 --> 01:01:49,721
Question Hauser or Dietrich .
They know how hopeless the situation is.

589
01:01:53,321 --> 01:01:59,281
Mein Führer , I can not go from here
without having talked about Germany with you.

590
01:01:59,281 --> 01:02:01,761
Can we talk privately ?

591
01:02:03,361 --> 01:02:06,201
It's probably best that you leave the room.

592
01:02:41,001 --> 01:02:43,961
Should we stay at your house in Mr Lingen ?

593
01:02:43,961 --> 01:02:48,081
<i> ... where we are . And we do not give
after an inch without a fight. </ i></i>

594
01:02:48,081 --> 01:02:51,761
<i> And if we do that ,
we turn back now! </ i></i>

595
01:02:51,761 --> 01:02:55,201
<i> We are so happy
we know since yesterday </ i ></i>

596
01:02:55,201 --> 01:02:59,361
<i> - that our Colonel-General Rommel ... </ i></i>

597
01:03:12,641 --> 01:03:18,641
General Field Marshal ? Should we stay
at your home in Mr Lingen ?

598
01:03:36,041 --> 01:03:38,321
I see you again?

599
01:03:54,001 --> 01:03:56,521
Take care of your mother, Manfred.

Rommel HEADQUARTERS
30 JUNI 1944

601
01:04:24,241 --> 01:04:27,321
- Well, Speidel ?
- The front remains.

602
01:04:27,321 --> 01:04:29,121
For a while , yes.

603
01:04:35,881 --> 01:04:38,721
I am under no illusions, Speidel .

604
01:04:39,761 --> 01:04:43,721
- Next time it will be me.
- Rundstedt , then?

605
01:04:46,721 --> 01:04:49,001
Just as weak as ever.

606
01:04:49,001 --> 01:04:53,041
He'll follow orders ,
regardless of how they are corked .

607
01:04:53,041 --> 01:04:57,881
- All the facts are clear .
- Hitler did not care. He doubt ...

608
01:04:57,881 --> 01:05:02,481
... the enemy's superiority in the air
and devastating sjöartilleri -

609
01:05:02,481 --> 01:05:05,401
- As well as our maintenance problems .

610
01:05:05,401 --> 01:05:09,361
He does not believe us ,
but we should believe him.

611
01:05:09,361 --> 01:05:12,241
I simply say : " V -1".

612
01:05:13,361 --> 01:05:16,281
Field Marshal ...

613
01:05:16,281 --> 01:05:21,641
Leave your command .
It will take effect in the people.

614
01:05:21,641 --> 01:05:27,001
- You're still our most popular soldier.
- Those at the top do not allow it .

615
01:05:29,161 --> 01:05:34,681
They expect probably that I
'll die a heroic death ... at the front.

616
01:05:36,881 --> 01:05:39,481
But I can help a little .

617
01:05:41,921 --> 01:05:44,721
My family is prepared for it.

618
01:05:52,481 --> 01:05:59,481
You must take care of him. He is
soldier dog. He will never be more civil .

619
01:06:01,041 --> 01:06:03,361
It is certainly the .

620
01:06:07,961 --> 01:06:10,281
Rommel . Yes ?

621
01:06:16,201 --> 01:06:20,481
I see.
Thank you for informing me .

622
01:06:20,481 --> 01:06:24,121
Rundstedt receive the Knight's Cross
and leave office .

623
01:06:24,121 --> 01:06:26,321
And you?

624
01:06:28,161 --> 01:06:31,201
- I remain.
- As Rundstedts substitute?

625
01:06:31,201 --> 01:06:36,281
No, Field Marshal Kluge
becomes the new commander in chief in the West.

626
01:06:36,281 --> 01:06:38,921
<i> Right on ! </ i></i>

Rommel HEADQUARTERS
3 JULI 1944

628
01:06:43,761 --> 01:06:47,801
- How are you, Speidel ?
- Good . And you?

629
01:06:47,801 --> 01:06:53,761
The British attack with great force.
It takes great manpower to hold out .

630
01:06:53,761 --> 01:06:59,361
We need them in Saint -Lô, to
prevent Americans breakthrough.

631
01:06:59,361 --> 01:07:02,961
We abandon neither Caen
or bridgehead .

632
01:07:02,961 --> 01:07:07,681
We do not give an inch without a fight.
Führer's orders are clear.

633
01:07:07,681 --> 01:07:12,721
Fuhrer not aware mode .
The order to hold out is devastating.

634
01:07:12,721 --> 01:07:17,041
From now , you are getting , and everyone else,
get used to execute orders.

635
01:07:17,041 --> 01:07:23,121
- What do you mean?
- You tend to ignore your superiors ...

636
01:07:23,121 --> 01:07:26,001
... and run to the Führer instead.

637
01:07:29,361 --> 01:07:35,041
Gentlemen, leave me alone
with Field Marshal awhile.

638
01:07:45,961 --> 01:07:49,081
You have apparently forgotten
I am Field Marshal .

639
01:07:49,081 --> 01:07:53,361
I want reports
from all masters on the front.

640
01:07:53,361 --> 01:08:00,081
And statistics on the enemy naval
range artillery and ammunition.

641
01:08:00,081 --> 01:08:06,681
Go to the front! Then you can see for yourself
the hostile sjöartilleriets force.

642
01:08:07,841 --> 01:08:12,321
It is noticeable
you most have led a division .

643
01:08:16,801 --> 01:08:20,241
And you have not fought
against the British.

644
01:08:20,241 --> 01:08:23,881
Heavy weapons , armor
and artillery stationed -

645
01:08:23,881 --> 01:08:28,081
- Beyond the hostile sjöartilleriets
range.

646
01:08:28,081 --> 01:08:34,321
Artillery at Cagny and Émiéville .
And behind those tanks.

647
01:08:34,321 --> 01:08:37,961
To keep the enemy occupied.

648
01:08:37,961 --> 01:08:42,161
- How long ?
- In the best case , three weeks.

649
01:08:42,161 --> 01:08:45,761
Until they break through.
So we have three weeks.

650
01:08:45,761 --> 01:08:49,881
- For what?
- To find other solutions.

651
01:09:07,521 --> 01:09:10,721
- Field Marshal .
- What ? I'm dead tired .

652
01:09:10,721 --> 01:09:15,081
Do you remember Colonel von Hofacker ?
In Stülpnagels staff .

653
01:09:15,081 --> 01:09:19,521
- He wants to talk to you. Tomorrow .
- About what?

654
01:09:19,521 --> 01:09:23,641
I am here on my cousin's behalf;
Count von Stauffenberg .

655
01:09:23,641 --> 01:09:28,161
You might know that he now
manage the reserve army ?

656
01:09:28,161 --> 01:09:31,961
Yes. Has he recovered
from their injuries ?

657
01:09:31,961 --> 01:09:35,041
As much as possible , yes.

658
01:09:43,601 --> 01:09:47,161
He wants your assessment
the war situation in the West.

659
01:09:47,161 --> 01:09:50,641
It should also reserve army know.

660
01:09:54,641 --> 01:09:56,521
How long ?

661
01:09:58,481 --> 01:10:02,441
Three weeks. Max six .
Unless miracles happen .

662
01:10:02,441 --> 01:10:05,761
Do you think that the war is lost?

663
01:10:05,761 --> 01:10:09,321
What you really want me ?

664
01:10:09,321 --> 01:10:12,881
- Will you stand to Germany's favor?
- I do.

665
01:10:12,881 --> 01:10:16,961
Another Germany.
With another government.

666
01:10:26,681 --> 01:10:28,761
Put your hands .

667
01:10:31,801 --> 01:10:35,881
- Halt! Stay there .
- Put your hands up ! Do not move .

668
01:10:41,921 --> 01:10:43,961

674
01:11:14,641 --> 01:11:17,761
General Field Marshal Rommel !

675
01:11:22,081 --> 01:11:25,281
I have read your progress .

676
01:11:26,321 --> 01:11:29,801
- And ?
- I apologize .

677
01:11:29,801 --> 01:11:34,801
I tell the Fuhrer I look
as seriously as you state .

678
01:11:34,801 --> 01:11:41,241
The Americans soon break through.
In some areas , all men dead.

679
01:11:41,241 --> 01:11:46,561
- Just tell me is no longer enough .
- What do you suggest?

680
01:11:46,561 --> 01:11:51,641
The Fuhrer would negotiate peace .
Otherwise , we open the front.

681
01:11:51,641 --> 01:11:56,281
- Would you give Hitler an ultimatum ?
- Call it what you want.

682
01:11:56,281 --> 01:12:01,001
I give him one last chance .
If he does not , I act .

683
01:12:01,001 --> 01:12:05,241
- Can I count on you ?
- Do you not hope .

684
01:12:05,241 --> 01:12:10,761
- Hitler allow themselves to be impressed .
- We still have an obligation to act.

685
01:12:10,761 --> 01:12:15,641
Do you accept that my chief of staff
writing this to Hitler?

686
01:12:19,841 --> 01:12:24,241
First, we consult with the commanders ,
especially SS Generals .

687
01:12:24,241 --> 01:12:29,641
- Without them you can not .
- I will send them my intentions .

688
01:12:42,881 --> 01:12:48,441
- Does he or does he not ?
- What ?

689
01:12:48,441 --> 01:12:52,241
That one is planning a coup d'etat in Berlin.

690
01:12:53,481 --> 01:12:57,121
- How do you know?
- General Speidel said.

691
01:12:57,121 --> 01:13:03,041
He insinuated that for me.
Although your name was mentioned then.

692
01:13:05,641 --> 01:13:07,481
I know nothing .

693
01:13:07,481 --> 01:13:12,921
Position the front worsens by the day .
97,000 man has been killed ...

694
01:13:12,921 --> 01:13:17,361
Although troop material losses
are unusually high -

695
01:13:17,361 --> 01:13:20,201
- And have only partially replaced .

696
01:13:20,201 --> 01:13:23,681
... of which 2,360 officers.

697
01:13:23,681 --> 01:13:27,641
That means , on average,
2500 to 3000 to ...

698
01:13:27,641 --> 01:13:29,641
A total of about 10 000 men.

699
01:13:29,641 --> 01:13:34,041
As the fighting has shown ,
will the hostile stake -

700
01:13:34,041 --> 01:13:38,041
- That part of crush
even the bravest of troops -

701
01:13:38,041 --> 01:13:42,081
- Leading to loss of
people , weapons and ...

702
01:13:43,121 --> 01:13:44,721
We have problems .

703
01:13:46,321 --> 01:13:50,401
- Heil Hitler, Obersturmbannführer !
- Heil Hitler.

704
01:13:52,121 --> 01:13:55,241
- Heil Hitler !
- What do I owe the honor ?

705
01:13:55,241 --> 01:13:59,521
- A French saboteur is hiding here.
- In my headquarters ?

706
01:13:59,521 --> 01:14:02,521
Countess . Count nephews.

707
01:14:03,681 --> 01:14:07,281
Count's family has my protection .
Who maintains it?

708
01:14:07,281 --> 01:14:12,721
We grabbed a British agent yesterday.
He has unequivocally pointed to her.

709
01:14:12,721 --> 01:14:16,921
- You must be kidding.
- I understand that news shocks you.

710
01:14:18,041 --> 01:14:21,001
But you should be grateful.

711
01:14:21,001 --> 01:14:23,881
They had planned to assassinate you.

712
01:14:24,921 --> 01:14:28,521
Stand species Fuhrer .
This teaches interest you.

713
01:14:49,401 --> 01:14:52,721
I guess it does not
the army group's radio.

714
01:14:54,241 --> 01:14:58,361
- SS has gripped the people of the village.
- The Countess ?

715
01:14:58,361 --> 01:15:00,201
No.

716
01:15:01,801 --> 01:15:04,641
Where did we ?

717
01:15:04,641 --> 01:15:08,521
" The troops are fighting heroically all over. "

718
01:15:08,521 --> 01:15:14,521
... but still approaching
the uneven battle ... an end.

719
01:15:15,561 --> 01:15:22,641
According to me it is necessary ... to draw
political conclusions from the situation .

720
01:15:22,641 --> 01:15:27,521
"According to me it is necessary to draw
political conclusions from the situation . "

721
01:15:27,521 --> 01:15:31,481
- Should you send it?
- You are right . It's too risky .

722
01:15:31,481 --> 01:15:33,961
I talk to him.

723
01:15:33,961 --> 01:15:36,801
We want to have peace negotiations.

724
01:15:36,801 --> 01:15:43,001
" Politics " is a loaded word for Hitler.
He believes that Providence rescues him .

725
01:15:43,001 --> 01:15:48,281
- Delete the word "political" .
- Good . I'm sending it to Kluge today.

726
01:15:49,961 --> 01:15:52,801
- Field Marshal ...
- What is it now, when ?

727
01:15:54,321 --> 01:15:57,161
How much told von Hofacker ?

728
01:15:57,161 --> 01:16:01,041
- What do you mean?
- Initiate he s in the plans ?

729
01:16:01,041 --> 01:16:05,961
He asked if I could think of
a new state and military power. Plans ?

730
01:16:05,961 --> 01:16:11,121
I do not know . Only a small circle
know how the coup designed.

731
01:16:11,121 --> 01:16:15,681
If you prosecute Hitler , I'm with .
But I support no attacks.

732
01:16:15,681 --> 01:16:19,121
There I have not changed my mind , General.

733
01:16:19,121 --> 01:16:21,841
PARIS
16 JULI 1944

734
01:16:36,401 --> 01:16:40,481
He knows nothing about the attack .
Hofacker said nothing about it.

735
01:16:40,481 --> 01:16:43,441
He believes that we should prosecute Hitler.

736
01:16:43,441 --> 01:16:48,881
Hofacker said Rommel stood
available to the peace negotiations.

737
01:16:50,841 --> 01:16:54,401
For peace negotiations.
Not for an attack .

738
01:16:54,401 --> 01:16:57,561
He must realize that it will be violent .

739
01:16:57,561 --> 01:17:01,201
" Fierce " does not murder.

740
01:17:01,201 --> 01:17:03,521
Gentlemen ...

741
01:17:06,001 --> 01:17:11,721
We may not be made ??for it, but
it must be done . With or without Rommel .

742
01:17:11,721 --> 01:17:16,041
- Hitler faced with an ultimatum .
- What ? !

743
01:17:18,041 --> 01:17:24,361
Does he not agree to peace negotiations ,
opens Rommel and Kluge front.

744
01:17:24,361 --> 01:17:29,481
When Hitler may ultimatum
depositing he Rommel . Or worse.

745
01:17:29,481 --> 01:17:33,521
- We risk Valkyrias success.
- " Valkyrie " ?

746
01:17:35,161 --> 01:17:42,001
Stauffenberg's people have a plan, if
national emergency imposed.

747
01:17:43,041 --> 01:17:47,041
Reserve Army takes over power
the Interior.

748
01:17:47,041 --> 01:17:51,201
the condition is
an attempt on Hitler.

749
01:17:52,441 --> 01:17:57,441
As plotters appears
not as authors ?

750
01:17:57,441 --> 01:18:02,281
No. It will appear as a coup
of party members and SS.

751
01:18:02,281 --> 01:18:06,921
The plan enables all departments,
though they are not involved.

752
01:18:06,921 --> 01:18:13,521
They act according to the emergency plan
Hitler himself has blessed .

753
01:18:13,521 --> 01:18:17,281
We just need a reason
to enable it.

754
01:18:17,281 --> 01:18:20,201
- Ingenious .
- The front is the only uncertain.

755
01:18:20,201 --> 01:18:26,881
Just because we contacted Rommel .
The soldiers respect him enormously.

756
01:18:26,881 --> 01:18:30,961
- Should he just be propaganda ?
- Rommel factor .

757
01:18:30,961 --> 01:18:36,161
- Goebbels made ??him a folk hero.
- That we use now.

758
01:18:36,161 --> 01:18:41,001
Now you have a unique opportunity
to make people a really great service.

759
01:18:41,001 --> 01:18:44,121
It is marshal
certainly aware .

760
01:18:48,961 --> 01:18:51,441
Yes ?

761
01:18:51,441 --> 01:18:55,241
- General Field Marshal .
- Good morning. Something new ?

762
01:18:55,241 --> 01:18:59,001
according Aldinger
go ye to Dietrich today.

763
01:18:59,001 --> 01:19:03,401
- Yes, to the front in Caen.
- Should you discuss your plans?

764
01:19:03,401 --> 01:19:05,241
Of course .

765
01:19:05,241 --> 01:19:09,321
He is an inveterate National Socialist .
He tells SS.

766
01:19:09,321 --> 01:19:13,041
I know who he is,
but we have no choice.

767
01:19:13,041 --> 01:19:16,881
- Otherwise, the Waffen -SS war.
- Why not ...

768
01:19:16,881 --> 01:19:22,441
- ... Tell Himmler and Goebbels ?
- Dietrich is experienced . He understands .

769
01:19:25,321 --> 01:19:31,001
Greve Schwerin armor division
is prepared to disarm the SS.

770
01:19:32,241 --> 01:19:37,121
- Determines I still here? !
- Of course .

771
01:19:38,161 --> 01:19:41,961
The enemy is still in the West,
do not forget it .

772
01:19:46,201 --> 01:19:50,601
NORMANDY , THE ROAD TO livarot
17 JULI 1944

773
01:20:05,601 --> 01:20:09,441
- Did you see the people? What was it?
- Respect ?

774
01:20:09,441 --> 01:20:12,681
No, fear.
They do not know what to expect.

775
01:20:12,681 --> 01:20:16,281
- What do you think?
- That we become a British colony.

776
01:20:16,281 --> 01:20:21,241
- And not a part of Stalin's Bolshevism.
- Enemy Plan! Eight.

777
01:20:21,241 --> 01:20:22,721
Give it here .

778
01:20:28,721 --> 01:20:32,921
Do you see the way there?
Attempts to reach the forest. Quick!

779
01:20:32,921 --> 01:20:35,521
Hurry up! Accelerate !

780
01:21:08,321 --> 01:21:10,761
Field Marshal !

781
01:21:17,321 --> 01:21:19,161
Field Marshal .

782
01:21:22,041 --> 01:21:25,241
Help me! Hurry up!

783
01:21:26,561 --> 01:21:29,001
Hurry up! Come on .

PARIS
Kluges HEADQUARTERS

785
01:21:47,121 --> 01:21:49,481
Blumentritt .

786
01:21:49,481 --> 01:21:52,601
Just a moment . - Field Marshal ?

787
01:21:52,601 --> 01:21:55,801
- Yes ?
- General Speidel .

788
01:21:59,961 --> 01:22:02,161
Yes, Kluge here.

789
01:22:06,961 --> 01:22:09,081
Yes. Roger that.

790
01:22:09,081 --> 01:22:12,561
No, I tell the high command .

791
01:22:12,561 --> 01:22:14,801
Blumentritt .

792
01:22:19,561 --> 01:22:23,441
Rommel is badly wounded.
They do not know if he survives .

793
01:22:23,441 --> 01:22:28,041
- It was taken only it!
- Call up the command.

794
01:22:28,041 --> 01:22:35,241
What happened to Rommel's letter ?
Have we sent it to the Führer than ?

795
01:22:35,241 --> 01:22:39,241
- No, you wanted to add it .
- Well, yes ...

796
01:22:39,241 --> 01:22:41,721
Archive it for so long.

797
01:22:47,401 --> 01:22:52,281
He has a skull fracture . it is
a miracle that he survived the night .

798
01:22:53,321 --> 01:22:58,521
The Führer has given me the command here ,
until Rommel has recovered .

799
01:22:59,401 --> 01:23:05,001
- Can I count on your support, Speidel ?
- Of course .

800
01:23:05,001 --> 01:23:09,281
I set up my fighter place
here in the castle.

801
01:23:09,281 --> 01:23:12,121
When I reach the front faster.

802
01:23:12,121 --> 01:23:16,161
- Blumentritt replace me in Paris.
- Of course .

803
01:23:16,161 --> 01:23:18,841
That's all for now.

804
01:23:22,121 --> 01:23:28,001
Yeah, right ... Since this morning , attacking
our enemy positions in Caen.

805
01:23:34,281 --> 01:23:40,801
The bombing was the 16th anti-aircraft
and 272 text Infantry Division -

806
01:23:40,801 --> 01:23:44,121
- Which was along the front , totally obliterated .

807
01:23:46,641 --> 01:23:50,321
- Keeps the front stalls ?
- So far .

808
01:23:52,401 --> 01:23:54,921
What about Daniel?

809
01:23:56,441 --> 01:23:58,681
He's dead.

810
01:23:58,681 --> 01:24:02,241
He did not .
He died in the night.

811
01:24:05,601 --> 01:24:09,081
- You have received a telegram from the Führer.
- Well ...

812
01:24:10,641 --> 01:24:16,441
"My best wishes
for a speedy recovery . "

813
01:24:16,441 --> 01:24:20,121
- Signed by Adolf Hitler.
- That's it?

814
01:24:20,121 --> 01:24:22,441
Yes, Field Marshal .

815
01:24:23,961 --> 01:24:31,201
Stauffenberg is still set to it .
He flies to headquarters tomorrow.

816
01:24:31,201 --> 01:24:36,761
Kluge has moved
th Panzer division to the front.

817
01:24:36,761 --> 01:24:41,921
- Now we can no longer stop the SS.
- We hope to Kluge .

818
01:24:41,921 --> 01:24:46,161
How's ultimatum ?
Have high command responded ?

819
01:24:46,161 --> 01:24:51,281
- It no longer refers to the ultimatum .
- Has not been sent yet?

820
01:24:53,041 --> 01:24:58,641
Kluge has been informed long .
He has met with the conspirators .

821
01:24:58,641 --> 01:25:04,321
I do not think he is ready to
peace negotiations with the Allies.

822
01:25:04,321 --> 01:25:08,681
- There will be no negotiations , General.
- Why not ?

823
01:25:08,681 --> 01:25:16,161
The Allies accept a surrender
Only if we give up even in the East.

824
01:25:17,761 --> 01:25:19,201
What does that mean?

825
01:25:19,201 --> 01:25:25,081
The fact that we show the world that we dare
revolt against these criminals .

826
01:25:36,561 --> 01:25:39,401
General!

827
01:25:39,401 --> 01:25:42,601
Countess ? What are you doing here?

828
01:25:43,721 --> 01:25:50,001
The hotel interests my colleagues.
And Rommel stabsbil falls in the eye.

829
01:25:50,001 --> 01:25:52,761
How is the field marshal ?

830
01:25:56,521 --> 01:25:58,961
I can betray you.

831
01:26:00,801 --> 01:26:04,801
SS has taken hostages in the village.
I should surrender myself .

832
01:26:04,801 --> 01:26:08,641
Some of them are children.
Can you do something ?

833
01:26:09,681 --> 01:26:14,801
- Unfortunately, I have no influence.
- I understand . Best of luck.

834
01:26:16,321 --> 01:26:18,681
What will you do ?

835
01:26:20,481 --> 01:26:24,121
- I will surrender myself .
- Do not do it .

836
01:26:24,121 --> 01:26:28,321
- Things are changing faster than you think.
- Really?

837
01:26:29,241 --> 01:26:32,241
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 ?

01:28:47,121 --> 01:28:50,241
Our military commander , Stülpnagel .

860
01:28:50,241 --> 01:28:54,521
SS and Gestapo carried out
a coup in Berlin.

861
01:28:54,521 --> 01:28:56,601
The Führer is dead.

862
01:28:56,601 --> 01:29:01,401
All of the security in Paris
and the leaders of the SS must be grasped .

Field Marshal von Kluge wants to meet you
the battle command center at 20.

868
01:29:25,121 --> 01:29:28,681
An important meeting. Thank you.

- What did he say?
- That he will .

870
01:29:37,081 --> 01:29:40,761
Yes!
What is it?

871
01:29:40,761 --> 01:29:45,241
A remote- written message
from Field Marshal Keitel .

872
01:29:45,241 --> 01:29:49,601
- What does he ?
- To Hitler alive.

873
01:29:53,081 --> 01:29:56,721
Find out the truth .
It must go.

874
01:29:56,721 --> 01:29:58,921
Sure .

875
01:30:01,401 --> 01:30:06,361
Tell me, Speidel ...
Did you and Rommel about this?

876
01:30:10,121 --> 01:30:11,801
No.

20:30

882
01:30:32,961 --> 01:30:37,121
- What now , sir ?
- We are here to arrest you.

883
01:30:37,121 --> 01:30:41,001
- In general Stülpnagels orders.
- Excuse me?

884
01:30:41,001 --> 01:30:44,521
<i> Come on , out. Out with you! </ I></i>

Rommel HEADQUARTERS ,
20:40

887
01:31:28,081 --> 01:31:34,041
Now that the Führer is dead, we must
make decisions. What will you do ?

888
01:31:34,041 --> 01:31:37,321
Settle down , gentlemen.

889
01:31:39,361 --> 01:31:44,201
My lords ,
We have received conflicting information .

890
01:31:44,201 --> 01:31:49,681
Half an hour ago I spoke
the phone with General Stief .

891
01:31:49,681 --> 01:31:52,001
He is currently at Mamry -

892
01:31:52,001 --> 01:31:57,961
- And have talked to some officers
who left the Wolf's Lair today.

893
01:31:57,961 --> 01:32:02,161
They say
Hitler survived the bomb attack .

894
01:32:05,841 --> 01:32:09,441
What takes place in Berlin
is not conclusive.

895
01:32:09,441 --> 01:32:14,121
The decisions made here in France
is very important.

896
01:32:14,121 --> 01:32:21,121
For Germany's future sake, abandon
Hitler and suffered the liberation of the West.

897
01:32:21,121 --> 01:32:26,721
Make the Field Marshal Rommel had
done - put an end to the bloody murders.

898
01:32:26,721 --> 01:32:32,521
Do not end even worse. Prevent
German history's worst disaster.

899
01:32:33,761 --> 01:32:36,641
Yes ? Just a moment .

900
01:32:37,681 --> 01:32:41,081
General Warlimont ,
the Führer's headquarters.

901
01:32:41,081 --> 01:32:43,241
The Kluge .

902
01:32:46,041 --> 01:32:49,681
Roger that. I am very relieved.

903
01:32:53,601 --> 01:32:58,521
General Warlimont state
that the Führer is the best of health .

904
01:32:58,521 --> 01:33:02,241
The attack failed , that is.

905
01:33:02,241 --> 01:33:09,521
- But , I thought you knew.
- No ... I had no idea.

906
01:33:11,081 --> 01:33:14,001
Gentlemen, dinner is served .

907
01:33:23,361 --> 01:33:26,201
Yes. Make gentlemen.

908
01:33:30,801 --> 01:33:35,241
- Field Marshal , I need to talk to you.
- Are we ready?

909
01:33:37,921 --> 01:33:40,081
What ? !

910
01:33:40,081 --> 01:33:44,761
The entire security
and group Führer Oberg be arrested .

911
01:33:44,761 --> 01:33:49,121
Or have already been arrested.
On Stülpnagels orders.

912
01:33:49,121 --> 01:33:54,681
He did it without consulting any
or inform their commander in chief.

913
01:33:54,681 --> 01:33:58,281
It's arbitrary conduct
unprecedented !

914
01:34:03,041 --> 01:34:06,081
Refer to
that the order is immediately withdrawn .

915
01:34:06,081 --> 01:34:09,321
The facts speak for themselves.

916
01:34:09,321 --> 01:34:12,361
Your word and your honor is in danger.

917
01:34:12,361 --> 01:34:16,481
Army's honor and the fate of millions
is in your hands .

918
01:34:22,001 --> 01:34:26,001
Well ... if the pig had died , so ...

919
01:34:39,841 --> 01:34:44,201
If I were you ,
I would try to escape as civilian.

920
01:34:44,201 --> 01:34:46,881
Try to jump off .

921
01:34:54,761 --> 01:35:01,361
<i> A little dab ambitious , unscrupulous
foolish and criminal officers , </ i ></i>

923
01:35:07,761 --> 01:35:13,241

A ROAD NEAR VERDUN ,
21 JULI 1944

927
01:35:54,121 --> 01:35:59,241
I go to the lake. I must go
on the legs. Hold at the next intersection .

928
01:36:39,201 --> 01:36:42,041
- A cigarette ?
- Yes , thank you.

929
01:37:02,401 --> 01:37:07,121
Where were you , Rommel ?
Where have you been?

930
01:37:07,121 --> 01:37:09,761
It has been mentioned name .

931
01:37:12,561 --> 01:37:15,401
The name Rommel was among them.

932
01:37:26,561 --> 01:37:32,001
Thank you for coming , sir.
But everything is already settled.

933
01:37:32,001 --> 01:37:35,681
I take full responsibility
for revolt here in Paris.

934
01:37:35,681 --> 01:37:39,121
Just Stülpnagel and I was initiated.

935
01:37:39,121 --> 01:37:42,561
All the others were unaware .

936
01:37:42,561 --> 01:37:46,481
I apologize .
But I have no regrets .

937
01:37:48,361 --> 01:37:51,041
Names mentioned . Even yours.

938
01:37:51,041 --> 01:37:56,201
It is enough if one call
you had with Hofacker July 9.

939
01:37:58,401 --> 01:38:01,041
I do not remember .

940
01:38:11,241 --> 01:38:13,921
It may not be incriminating .

941
01:38:13,921 --> 01:38:19,641
You were asked about your assessment
of state ... and you gave an honest answer .

942
01:38:23,681 --> 01:38:26,521
How does it look on the front?

943
01:38:26,521 --> 01:38:30,361
s 3rd Army broke through
at Avranches yesterday.

944
01:38:30,361 --> 01:38:33,321
I do not want to be in your shoes .

945
01:38:37,561 --> 01:38:39,801
Heil, mein Führer .

946
01:38:46,241 --> 01:38:48,801
Read this, Keitel .

947
01:38:49,841 --> 01:38:54,361
That's what that Hofacker said
if Rommel .

948
01:38:55,401 --> 01:38:59,801
He has talked to him ...
on the attack .

949
01:39:02,761 --> 01:39:05,681
If it is true , Keitel ...

950
01:39:05,681 --> 01:39:10,081
it is a ...
of my biggest disappointments ever.

951
01:39:12,681 --> 01:39:18,681
But I can not hurt the people who contact
him so highly , by prosecuting him.

952
01:39:19,721 --> 01:39:23,321
Rommel HOME IN MEN LINGEN
August 8, 1944

953
01:39:41,281 --> 01:39:45,441
- General Field Marshal .
- Loistl . What nice.

954
01:39:45,441 --> 01:39:47,561
Jesus ...

955
01:39:51,321 --> 01:39:57,081
As long as you do not wear the head during
arm , it's not so bad. Come on .

FRANCE
August 17, 1944

957
01:40:19,001 --> 01:40:23,241
- Go ahead.
- A private letter to you from the Führer.

958
01:40:24,241 --> 01:40:28,761
You are asked to come to Berlin
and report .

959
01:40:28,761 --> 01:40:31,401
To report ?

960
01:40:52,361 --> 01:40:56,601
The Americans have already crossed the Seine
with two divisions.

961
01:41:01,241 --> 01:41:03,401
Yes, Speidel ...

962
01:41:04,361 --> 01:41:07,481
That's all for me.

963
01:41:46,041 --> 01:41:50,081
- Nice to meet you , Colonel. How are you?
- Thank you good.

964
01:41:50,081 --> 01:41:53,121
I must speak to you in private.

965
01:41:53,121 --> 01:41:57,241
Go in and tell your mom
we have guests.

966
01:41:59,241 --> 01:42:02,721
- What gives?
- Field Marshal Kluge 's death.

967
01:42:02,721 --> 01:42:05,801
He was called to Berlin, but took poison.

968
01:42:05,801 --> 01:42:09,481
General Speidel considered
you ought to know that.

969
01:42:12,041 --> 01:42:14,321
Yes. Thank you.

970
01:42:16,521 --> 01:42:18,681
Do we know why?

971
01:42:18,681 --> 01:42:23,881
We assume that Hitler gave him the debt
for frontal collapse.

972
01:42:23,881 --> 01:42:26,801
All flees from us , Field Marshal .

973
01:42:30,361 --> 01:42:34,041
Are not you ashamed , you wretch -

974
01:42:34,041 --> 01:42:38,521
- Over to you , in the most miserable manner ,
betrayed the Führer ?

975
01:42:38,521 --> 01:42:42,321
I regret only
I did not perform the attack .

976
01:42:42,321 --> 01:42:46,401
- Then it had not failed.
- It was ... Corresponding ?

977
01:42:46,401 --> 01:42:50,601
Be quiet , Mr. Freissler .
Today, it is my head.

978
01:42:52,121 --> 01:42:54,961
In a year , it applies your head .

979
01:43:25,161 --> 01:43:31,121
- What it was based on ?
- Nothing at all . It came totally unexpected.

980
01:43:31,121 --> 01:43:34,241
I will await further orders
in Germany .

981
01:43:34,241 --> 01:43:38,241
- Who will replace you in the army group?
- General Krebs .

982
01:43:38,241 --> 01:43:42,321
Although Blumentritt replaced
and shall report in Berlin.

983
01:43:42,321 --> 01:43:45,241
There is nothing unusual , Speidel .

984
01:43:45,241 --> 01:43:49,481
They are looking for scapegoats
for the fiasco on the front.

985
01:43:51,681 --> 01:43:56,201
The conspirators from Paris
sentenced a week ago .

986
01:43:57,241 --> 01:44:00,121
Horrible . Even Stülpnagel .

987
01:44:02,161 --> 01:44:05,921
Hofacker has apparently not
been executed yet.

988
01:44:11,201 --> 01:44:16,241
- They might still need him.
- Do you have anything to fear ?

990
01:44:24,201 --> 01:44:27,921
Good morning, Frau Speidel .
Is your husband at home?

991
01:44:51,201 --> 01:44:55,121
SECURITY MINISTRY IN BERLIN
September 20, 1944

992
01:45:16,001 --> 01:45:19,121
- Good morning , General.
- Colonel .

993
01:45:19,121 --> 01:45:22,281
He is not anymore.

994
01:45:22,281 --> 01:45:25,921
Herr von Hofacker has just
its weak life left .

995
01:45:28,161 --> 01:45:31,321
Well, Herr von Hofacker .

996
01:45:32,761 --> 01:45:36,601
Tell Dr. Speidel
what you have told us.

997
01:45:36,601 --> 01:45:40,561
That you 've talked to him
on attack plans.

998
01:45:40,561 --> 01:45:45,241
And that even Field Marshal Rommel
was informed about them.

999
01:45:45,241 --> 01:45:51,921
No. Neither marshal or
Lieutenant-General was informed.

1000
01:45:54,201 --> 01:45:57,041
If I 've said it ...

1001
01:45:58,161 --> 01:46:03,041
... I must have been ...
temporary memory confused.

1002
01:46:07,801 --> 01:46:11,561
Mr Lingen, October 1.
Dear Frau Speidel .

1003
01:46:11,561 --> 01:46:14,601
Your husband's fate touches me deeply.

1004
01:46:14,601 --> 01:46:19,961
Especially since you have not heard anything
from him for over three weeks ...

1005
01:46:19,961 --> 01:46:24,241
... worries me a lot.
I put a high value on your make-

1006
01:46:24,241 --> 01:46:30,081
- As excellent, skilled
and ambitious chief of staff.

1007
01:46:30,081 --> 01:46:35,241
I'll write to the Führer today
and put in a good word for him.

1008
01:46:35,241 --> 01:46:40,121
" Mein Führer , you know I put down
all the power and ability " -

1009
01:46:40,121 --> 01:46:45,681
- "In the Battle of France in 1940,
in Africa 1941-1943 " -

1010
01:46:45,681 --> 01:46:49,481
- 'In Italy in 1943
and on the western front in 1944. "

1011
01:46:49,481 --> 01:46:54,241
" My only goal is to fight for
and win for your new Germany. "

1012
01:46:54,241 --> 01:46:58,401
" Heil, mein Führer .
E point Rommel . "

1013
01:47:00,241 --> 01:47:03,561
Maybe he was informed, yes .

1014
01:47:03,561 --> 01:47:08,281
- But he did not participate actively .
- Knowledge is betrayal .

1015
01:47:10,841 --> 01:47:14,041
According to Lieutenant General Speidel
he -

1016
01:47:14,041 --> 01:47:19,361
- Via Hofacker ,
posted by General von Stülpnagel -

1017
01:47:19,361 --> 01:47:23,761
- Knowledge of the plan
the attack 20 July 1944 .

1018
01:47:23,761 --> 01:47:27,001
He informed
Field Marshal Rommel .

1019
01:47:27,001 --> 01:47:31,721
To Rommel did not keep information
Furthermore , he did not know .

1020
01:47:31,721 --> 01:47:35,841
I believe General Lieutenant's apology
be unlikely.

1021
01:47:35,841 --> 01:47:40,761
It was his duty to self- report
the attack plan.

1022
01:47:40,761 --> 01:47:46,801
Especially as Rommel must have said
that he did not intend to report.

1023
01:47:48,641 --> 01:47:54,601
The Führer is of the opinion
Speidels that debt can not be doubted.

1024
01:47:56,321 --> 01:47:59,361
Gentlemen .
If General Speidel claims -

1025
01:47:59,361 --> 01:48:03,881
- That he has informed Rommel
on the attack -

1026
01:48:03,881 --> 01:48:06,641
- The prosecution must disprove it .

1027
01:48:06,641 --> 01:48:11,761
This is a sophistry attempt
to acquit Dr Speidel .

1028
01:48:11,761 --> 01:48:14,041
And even then ...

1029
01:48:15,081 --> 01:48:21,081
The matter was so serious that Speidel not
should rely on marshal .

1030
01:48:21,081 --> 01:48:26,521
If there is anything a soldier
be able to rely on ...

1031
01:48:26,521 --> 01:48:30,481
so ... is it to his superiors
doing their duty .

1032
01:48:31,921 --> 01:48:36,281
I hope you realize
what this means for Rommel .
