Churchill (2017)
JUNE 1944
FRANCE IS FURTHER SUBCONTROL. TO THE WAR AT THE WESTFRONT TO WIN, MUST BE THE ALLIED FRANCE FREE. Winston. Winston. Where have you been? 8th The beaches bring it always back again. Almost 30 years have passed. So many young men. So great ... losses. It's already late. Come over. I can not do that yet once. DOWNING STREET, NEIGHBORHOOD 1736. DAY OF THE SECOND WORLD CROWD Winston. Winston. Oh - Great God. Winston! - I have worked. - You are too late. A burden. A burden. Give me a Louis XIII, Smuts. "For five years we from our men, "to endure the hardships of war." No no no... "The trials of war." Yes. "For five years we from our men, "to endure the trials of war." "The suffering of war." Yes, "the suffering of war". They would be ready. With permission, darling, I think you still need that. - A knee-breeches. - Should not you wear a uniform? - The king will be there. - And so are the Americans. His Majesty takes precedence, even against them. That is how it is. Americans respect military uniforms. I have to choose between "examinations" and "fatigue". Save me more! This will all go very well. The Cabinet Office has you a new secretary sent. - Could you say hello? - Why do I need a new secretary? Because you've eaten the last. - Helen Garrett. - My love. Oh, stay up, my love. I do not belong to the royal house. Excuse me I... It is such an honor for me, To meet you, Mr. Churchill, sir. - My mother and I are great fans. - Ah yes? Oh yeah. Well, you are, sir. The one who will bring us there. They will not give us up. My dear Miss Garrett, so I fight every day. And now I have to go and do exactly that. - I'm trying to curb him. - Yes, try it. Miss Garrett. "The suffering of war." No no no. No. "For five long years" "endure our people the suffering of war. " "The soldiers have theirs With pride. " "The soldiers have their burden with heroism. " Heroism is better than pride. "The soldiers have their burden with heroism. " "And with pride." Halt! - Well then. - Winston. General Eisenhower. Field Marshal Brooke. General Montgomery. - Mr. Churchill. What an illusion! Sorry, you English summer. - A meeting in London would be too risky. - Just think, if Hitler here Bomb, would be the whole The leadership of our allies destroyed. Hopefully we'll get through. Thank you. Sir. Good. Let's go, gentlemen. Your Majesty, gentlemen. This is our last discussion for Operation Overlord - the attack on the German Occupying troops in the north of France. We have only three days, before the tides change and thus hinder our ships from landing. The risk is therefore high, but when we get through, we have great opportunities, to win the war. We are already very advanced, but as usual I am for any criticism of the plan open. We must all work together, to create it. Mr. Prime Minister? This will be the biggest ever Militraktion of our allies. Operation overlord 200,000 vehicles need, a fleet of 7,000 ships, Swarms of aircraft and above all a quarter million men. All this will be on a place. The German army is attacked on the front. - That's the way it is. - No, gentlemen, no. This plan may be for admire his courage, but as far as his risks are concerned, he is foolish. - Great God. - According to our own estimates will be up to 160,000 French civilians. If overlord fails, which can happen only too easily, we will have a blow one The bulk of the war material, as well as tens of thousands our own men. Who will then defend England? Let us do nothing while the Nazis 20 miles off our coast? No! I want us to do more! We must divide the advance, to spread the risk. - No. - Do not you see it? We could be Hitler's Armed forces into the Aegean Sea, his focus from the Coast of France. The plans for the D-Day exist for over a month. For five years we from our men, to endure the hardships of the war. They have their burden with heroism. But I have such Beach landings already experienced. In the first war. The danger of a disaster is too great. We must not hurry. We have to think and we need this unripe plan correct, before it ends in a tragedy. Well, that sounds more like we over ... different Operations. Sir, Overlord is completely finished. I would like you the detailed plan. Do that. Thanks. Excuse me, Gentlemen, I must ... another ship from the stack. Your Majesty. They were never convinced. Someone simply had to the simple soldiers. Brooke, are you going with me? Bastard. - Why? - Do not look so shocked I just saved the war. Winston, please. We must talk about it! Exactly. We have to go immediately prepare a changed plan. - No, wait! - There is no time for that. You can not just do anything about it the heads of our allies. Oh, I can! Weakness does not impress Americans. They respect strength, Determination! There is a difference between strength and arrogance. When their Brits gave them the last Times wanted to make regulations, - you lost the colonies. - You forget Smuts, I am myself half an American. My dear, deceased mother was actually from Brooklyn, New York! Her mother does not care. Good day. We need to design new plans. - Briggs, give me the navy. - Yes, sir. We need in the Aegean a deflection maneuver. Fanshawe, find out, if General Alexander is already in Rome! He must push the Nazis further back. Miss Garrett, I need the headquarters - someone who is familiar with Norway. We need our Resources. This is our chance. It is time, to win this war. Done with the insulting my mother? - Why do they do that? - D ... D-Day will be a disaster, Smuts. If you are all these men to a place, on a well protected coast, where it is teeming with Nazis only so, then they are slaughtered. This is not warfare, but a slaughter. That may they do not harm our husbands. - Winston- - Ah, Brookie, nice to see you again. We must have this Plan for Bordeaux. - Eisenhower would like to see you. - Good Good... I type less formal clothes, right? - I tried. - We all have it. It always comes the point at which itself the greatest leaders do not come forward. Winston! Halt! Present the gun! Please follow me, gentlemen. On Ike will you hear, or, Winston? Yes, we will listen to each other. An exchange of opinions. Brooke. - Winston. - Ike. I'm glad you did apparently. I hope we can go beyond that of mine scheduled landings in Bordeaux. Sit down. Your speech today was damn good, Winston, damn good. Some things had to be said. - You should have told me. They thought criticism was welcome. So it is. All considerations are welcome, how to make the success of Overlord, reduce the losses, the supply routes can be shortened. But when you start, the whole operation, before the men, which they have planned monthly, before the King of England, then ... is not necessarily ... helpful. Not helpful? Consider, Ike, we've been to France fought against the Germans. Even if you are in the Normandy break through, even with massive civilian and military losses, what will be ours Guys in France? Another west front? Passchendaele? The Somme? A grave war! Winston, we have a Luftwaffe. We have self-propelled artillery, Panzer divisions. Infantry the front was pushing once. Operation Overlord is not the only way to win this war. I should know it, I have already seen many wars. For sure. Some of them in the last century. - I beg your pardon? The war you are talking about, took place 30 years ago. I believe they have not fully recognized, which has changed since then. - What's going on here, Brookie? - Well, it's so, Winston. We have no capacity, to implement your other plans - whether it be Bordeaux, Italy or ... anything else. I just want to win this war. And I believe you want to win the last war. With the ideas and tactics of that time. We have in the last War our lesson learned! I do not want that again make the same mistake. - Naturally. - I will not let my mouth forbid! Of course, you are the Prime Minister. And that is precisely why it is not, that you are trying to disturb us. Yes, that's what I'm trying to do! The invasion of France is a deadly venture and must be stopped! No, sir, you must be stopped! Listen, we're all tired. You told me that, Winston. They no longer bounce out of bed early in the morning, before noon you hardly get up. Maybe you should use your energy focus on the policy, the morality of the nation and so on. What? I'm supposed to give the clown and entertain the masses while you send young men to death? Winston, we'll take care of it. I have instructed the armed forces, alternative plans. You should be here tomorrow, and then ... There will be no plans from the armed forces. You have revoked my orders? A-and ... You both think so? You must let us do the job. Well, if you excuse me, I must go back to London now. - I'll accompany them. - No rather not. I have documents, I have to look through the car. Winston. Thank you for listening to us. They are a great one Profit for this country, for the war of the Allies. We all know that. Absolute. It's all right. Very well, sir. Left, right, left, right, ... Just look! Left, right, left, right ... ... that is the Foreign Minister, that is the answer. The invitation already mentioned. That would be all. Yes, thank you. Oh, Winston. I go to the meeting the Russian foundation. Margaret then invites her to dinner. Ike talked to you, did not you? I have this land and this War more than two years, before these Americans at all. However, my knowledge in the warfare nothing to be worth. Ike certainly has great Experience in warfare. Maybe you should listen to him. Are all now against everything I say? The king took me to Prime Minister of this country. It is my duty, to lead them through this war! Do not keep yourself alone, of decisions. Is it now about the war ... or around us both? - Do you want to be cuddled, Winston? - I would be somewhat respectful. Then do not complain, if someone tells you the truth. Its getting late. Bastards. 3 DAYS BEFORE D-DAY where is everyone? I suppose, at breakfast, sir. I am going to the coast today. For that I need smuts. Miss Garrett, take a telegram. It starts. At Halifax, British Embassy, Washington DC. We celebrate the success of the campaign in Italy. The Nazis were pushed back. The Americans are now deep in the Achilles heels of Europe. The amphibious landings, which they plan in Normandy, must not be distracted. I hope you sharpen that the President Your next meeting. It must be clear to him, what a passionate enthusiasm we have the American allies have placed. The End. The Klop. Klop! Klop! Klop. Klop. Wow wow. - Wow wow. - What are you doing here? Work. The one I used Word was "passionate", Miss Garrett, so "intense". However, according to your design shall be our ambassador President Roosevelt my perverted enthusiasm for our American Allies. I'm terribly sorry. His day was yesterday quite exhausting. - And it is probably not yet finished. - It's all right. Good to hear. Was that necessary? I'm trying to find a country and to lead a war. I can not afford to make mistakes. - The car is ready, sir. - Thank you, Briggs. - Why do you need your car? - I'll inspect Monty's troops. Did he invite you? Clemmie, I have maybe just one day, until they start the show. The least I can do, are a few encouraging words to address these young men, taking them to the beaches to leave. Just remember to win that she their commanders must respect. - This is not your hunting party. - I'll just make a speech. That's what scares me. So, it seems to me completely, that Monty's figures are not right. For all these vehicles does he have only so many people? - No, it's true. - That's far too little infantry. He knows what he is doing. When you speak to his men, make it short, yes? Maybe you can do something To say good-bye about him? I was lucky, already from time to time to have spoken publicly, Smuts. I would think, that I managed. - Good day, gentlemen. - Monty. I thought I'd look around. - What the hell is going on? - He wants to inspect your troops. - They do not need an inspection. - Tell him that. - Good. - No, wait. - He needs the feeling of belonging. - Oh my god. Most men are already gone. Can you give him maybe to show a few cards? Then I get him out of here, promised. - You mean it, do not you? - You're welcome. Mr. Prime Minister, follow me. I'll show you the plans. Oh very good. The 21st Army Group is divided Landmarks along the beaches. The seventh corps is here at Utah Beach, the fifth at Omaha, the 30th between gold and Juno, the first between Juno and Sword. How long is the whole route this coastal line, from Utah to Sword? About 50 miles. We must attack on a broader front. If you put them in such Including, They are cut off, slaughtered. We have the surprise effect. What if they have poison gas at our men? - Then we would take revenge. - You could throw it off airplanes, spread across villages. We would bomb them and they know that too. - Are you sure? - Sure, that my men do not times gas masks. Is he serious? We landed as planned, Churchill. - The end of the discussion, I insist. - And who are you that you do something like that? - Good God, Winston. - Gentlemen, please. We have this chance! Just one chance, to push the Nazis back and free Paris! They become beaches full of corpses British and American young men have! We all know, that war has consequences! Who cares when it comes to so many people live? If you have not considered the price, if we do this? And you do not get the price, if we do not? This is a plan for slaughter. The Germans are in position. You still have reserves. There will be obstacles, Minefields, unknown dangers. - I agree. - The men must be red. They must be fully current and unconditionally believe in the plan. No one can undermine their trust, not even you. - What? - I heard, what you before the king and our allies. They do not speak to the men, which go to these beaches. I just want to give them courage! And yet your last speech was coined of doubt, hesitation, and betrayal. - Did he say "betrayal"? - He certainly did not mean that. This bloated little piece of shit! The men will not follow him. - Step out of line, gather here! - Gather together, folks! - Gather together! - As you can see, today we have some important visitors, who wish you all the best. We'll leave soon. Very soon. You are all young. Many of you were never under attack. And you do not know, what awaits you. Some of you are afraid. This is natural. So, let us ally ourselves. Watch your warmates and they will take care of you. Let us all go, precisely and these Make mistletoe! - Yes! -Yes! - We'll do the job - and then come back here. - Let's do it, boys! And I will, that you remember one thing, when you land on these beaches. What is your most important possession? - Your life. - Yes! -Yes, sir! - And I'll save it for you. - Yes! -Yes! - Oh yeah! What we gonna do? - Get rid of the crap! Yes! Together we will stand by! Yes! Yes, sir! Keep it short and polite. Under no circumstances may They insult someone. I will not talk. Oh no? - He said everything that was to be said. - Good luck. Well, sir. Thanks sir. I think I'm going times down to the beach. Only takes one minute. Winston, we're ready to go! Is already really an old dog, this Monty. But I will help him. He's ready for the fight. He will help his men. He will fight. - Too few of our leaders do this. - You did it in the last war. The West Front. After ... according to what Campaign in Turkey. But it is not right. It is not right, the whole war in one Office in London and thousands of soldiers with a dangling of the filler - to send to the artillery fire. - That's the job - a political leader. - But Monty is right to lead! I should be in these boats, at the front with the men! First, even before Monty. - I want to tell a story. - Does it have to be that way? Yes. It is about the end the Second Burial War, in which we both fought. - Come to the point. - 1902. We had lost Boers. And I wanted her Lord Kitchener meet, to make peace. The other commanders were beside themselves. For her, I was a coward. But I knew, that here for us or for me no more fame was to be fetched. - We would have hurt ourselves. - Smuts ... A great leader does not stand out only by taking fame. Sometimes you have to accept, that you can not get anything from of the front. We both are like two old turtle doves, who already lose feathers, but still can chop around. - I'm not hacking around. - Yes, you do. Eisenhower will listen to me. He is a sensible, an integral man. - A great man, as I think. - Winston, please. Do not be a problem for him. Well, I want to talk to him. Where is General Eisenhower? - Winston. - Ike. I'm sorry this is so short term. I wanted to tell you mine Plans for the D-Day. - Your plans? - I got a bunk - secured at the HMS Belfast. - This ship is going to battle. I know we're not here all points of this operation, but their meaning is in any case undisputed. The men must feel, that the nation stands behind them. - So I'll go with you. - Is this a joke? - Not at all. - But you can not go with that. - Why not? - If you die on my ship, - I bear the responsibility. - The HMS Belfast is not your ship. - She belongs to the king. - No hairpins, please. I have you as commander-in-chief of the British armed forces accepted for Overlord, but in the Navy this is Ratio of our men 4:1. - God, Winston ... - You as an American general but not on the crew British ships. I want to be over your damn Do not determine ships. - You just should not go with it. - I'm the Prime Minister and defense minister UK. I go there, where I consider it necessary, to fulfill my duties! You can not hold me! - You hold on? - I've seen this before, in the first war. Big men, who are fighting from safe seats. This is not good. Commanders must the battlefields themselves. You're not a damn commander! Is this about Montgomery? Do you want to be in front of him at the beaches? Of course not. I did not even think of that. - What if you are shot? - I've been in other wars. You are the Prime Minister. We can not risk your life. But you ask for one Quarter million of young men. This is her job. It's not yours! If you want me to do this unheard of dangerous plan, you must at least stand by me, to lead my men into the battle. I will not go to London with entangled paws and listen to radio as they are from German bullets. I'll go with them. I will share their fate. Do not leave me damn Laientheater! There is war! I will not let you do anything. I will be as Prime Minister the king to France, aboard the royal ship. And besides, the King accompany me. - What? - His Majesty and I are absolutely agreed. We must be there, to lead the men. And neither you nor Monty can do something about it. I need to 10 to speak. We're running out of time. Winston. I've been looking for you everywhere. A man needs one Moment of silent devotion, before he enters the battle. You have to come. You have a visitor. Good evening, Winston. Your Majesty. I was told, that I could find you here. I had to come here. It's about ... the plan. On this - this ship to go. - Oh. We can not. - Aha. - I know I have said it when ... when you called me. That was... That was premature ... from me. On... A new monarch would be at this time a serious thing for the Empire. And Lilibet is ... is only 18. A really ... purposeful girl, but still so young. No, I ... I can so do not go. And I do not need to tell you, making it the objectives of the Allies would mean if by chance a bomb you ... from the Event. Sir, it ... it's all arranged. There is also only an insignificant risk. Our presence would be embarrassing, Winston. Against those who are responsible for the fight. Whether we wanted it or not. The correct behavior is, what normally the people at the top on such occasions. They stay at home and wait. I have served in the last war, just like you. I am sailing on a ship, had flown an airplane. Boy, that was really exciting. I know what irritates you. This is really crazy. Everyone thinks they are the ... most powerful man in the world. But you can actually ... to do nothing. My job ... is not to fight, not to die. I have to ... exist and be kind. associations, Bring hope. This is my task. And also yours. My task. Make it Ike and Monty not so hard. You do not need them in war, Winston. And you do not need to go to France. Now? Sir, you are my king and I have to do what you command. The fear before the coming days would be for me to significantly increase when in addition to everything else even the smallest risk, To lose them. Yes. I have to go now. Otherwise, there is really theater. Good night, Winston. Britain will give you for that, Winston. I think everyone will do that. Forever. Your Majesty. - Did Ike send him? - Ike asked me. I called in the palace. Why, Clemmie? Why? Why did not you tell me? When did you last last? really listened to someone? When did you last Talk with me? Oh I am sorry. I was well distracted by the secondary, - wanting to win a war. General Eisenhower sends his wife every weekend long letters, although he is thousands of miles away. Why are you getting married? then not General Eisenhower? An attractive, younger man in the best years, each one for a real one War hero. In contrast to a stemmed, moth-eaten old lions, whose teeth were pulled, not to scare the ladies. Try your luck Hero, Winston. Then people will be again believe that you are one. Why do not you just kill me? 2 DAYS BEFORE D-DAY 4 AM Please sit down. Gentlemen, we are here too this unusual hour, to make the greatest decision of our lives. The Overlord Armada has been stabbed in the sea. This is the last moment, the last, critical moment, in which we must decide whether this Operation as planned. Of course we must Conditions, such as wind, rain, the tides. So let's hear the report. Colonel Stagg, the weather. Gentlemen, the fears my colleagues and me on the weather of the next three or four days have been confirmed. The sea will be rough. Winds up to thickness six. Many deep clouds. We have a message from the West Irish station, that the barometer falls there quickly. Another low reaches us. E-I'm sorry, sir. This does not look good. General Montgomery, what is your recommendation? We hardly have time. I think we have to start now. - General? - I'm afraid I must contradict. These are catastrophic Conditions for air support. I do not know what this weather is possible. Much but under no circumstances. Admiral, what do you think? It's miserable. We must I believe, whether it is at all possible, Ships in a storm. Damn, Ike. My men have already been stabbed in the sea. Admiral, how long have we, until the ships are too far away, to recall them? Maybe 30 minutes. It could be one tomorrow to give a new chance. Stagg? Sir, the storms might be tomorrow to make a short break. For the next 24 hours is a But prediction is very difficult. What risk do you prefer? Call them back. We `ll meet tomorrow at the same time again. Pray until then for good weather. Ike. You have recalled them. We plan this without alternatives. We are planning a victory, and there will be. We go down there, we will do everything, What we have, and it will lead to success. Honestly, if we do not win, I do not know what a World will remain for us. I would also see that. - Thank you. - Thanks sir. We'll start tomorrow, Churchill. They can not stop it. No. But maybe the weather. Brooke would like to inform you, what happened on the coast. The troops of General Alexander, the yesterday the Nazis Rome, are now the largest Battle of war. The Italian Army she could win. The Allied Command focusses his hope and attention now - on Operation Overlord. - I can do very little. I must concentrate on it, the rest of this war. I feel like I'm at the Chariot of a madman. We must only reach, that he feels belonging. The politicians are making themselves also because of him worries. When the war ends this year, they think he is a risk as a leader. I know you like him, Smuts. And I like him too, whether you believe it or not, - but he really puts it on it. - He's not the one he once was. - When you enter quieter waters, it is easy to forget the captain, who has struck one through the storm. I did not forget, how great he was at lightning. - But that's four years ago. - He's still a big man. The End. Damn fool. Here are just fucking fools. This is simple line spacing! Why simple line spacing? I'm sorry. Someone has the Typewriters. Well, it must be double line spacing. Why waste my time? You silly girl! - Sorry, I did not know. - Do you realize what I need to do? I must look after the troops, give them security! Food, accommodation, equipment. Everything has to be organized! If I were the caregiver leaving himself, they probably send it Dentist chairs instead of bayonets! I need to concentrate. You need to concentrate! Winston? Would you please come to me? A big man. I can not work if I do surrounded by so much incompetence. I'll show Brooke and Monty, which makes a real general. I will show you, how great men win their wars. Stop it! Just stop! Brooke and Eisenhower and Monty lead this war and you'll always get in the way. - I am the Prime Minister of this country! - I agree. - And defense! - Do not be authoritarian, that makes you seem small. And you've had enough of it. Do you stop now, to make regulations to me? I beg your pardon? Maybe I should me some time to rest. I would also say that. Dear God. Oh ever Please, please, please, let it rain tomorrow Let it pour. Let the sky open and a flood, like the English Channel has never seen. Let loose flashes, let thunder crack and roll and roar. Winds winds the beaches and the sand to storms. Leave the waves and waves - flood the valleys and tidal waves. Call spirits from great depth. You're welcome let them blow it off and spare the lives of all the good young men on these ships. You're welcome do not let it happen again. Amen. Amen. 1 DAY BEFORE D-DAY Thank you for coming again. Please sit down. The weather, please. Yesterday we predicted the storms will be taking a break this morning. Stand 0400 still applies. The cloud cover 2,000 feet is 30 percent, the wind force between three and four. You get a great celebration, if this prediction is true. These conditions could be the Germans even disadvantage. They will be their reconnaissance aircraft not at all. Can the navy gunners with this viewpoint? - Yes. - Monty? The army is ready. It's damn risky. But the best possible opportunity. The question is how long do you get so something in the balance? Okay, let's go. Colonel Stagg. A photo, if you please. Thank you. Ike. You said this war would not be like the last war. But this operation it is definitely. Tomorrow men will die. Do not leave one of them die for nothing. Good Trip! You go. - Holy shit! - Winston! - I just can not stand it. - For heaven's sake. It's not working. - I will not tolerate that of you. - I can not answer that! - That's murder! - Sit down. I can not do the rest of mine To have life on the conscience. You have no choice. Do you hear me? I can so no longer live. Is this a threat? When we wake up tomorrow, 20,000 young men could be dead. You're drunk. This is the only thing, which brings me peace. Well, it does not work. You should be ashamed of yourself. Can you please do that Send service maid? There has been an accident. No, everyone is doing well. Only one plate was broken. Yes thank you. And please tell Feldmarschall Smuts, that I want to see Him. Thank you. How is he? Come. Winston? Winston. Sharing the ships in the English Channel. They set sail at 1700 hours. I thought I can help you, Preparing your future speeches. He gets really depressed and then simply solidifies. Everything you say, it seems just make things worse. just a few weeks into the country. - He must speak to the nation tomorrow. - I know. Either the profit of the war or that we are just thousands People have killed meaninglessly. Oh, ever. Oh oh oh - Are you all right? - Yes of course. It must also be hard for you. I wish he'd know. Well, we must simply give our best. Let me talk to him. I thought, when we get together, we can help you all, to write the speech for tomorrow. This is a very important speech, Winston. If you focus on it, you may be the Apply energy to it. How shall we begin, Miss Garrett? Uh ... ah! "Here is the Prime Minister." "Overnight the united Armed Forces of the Allies " "to air, sea and land a comprehensive attack " "to the German positions the north coast of France. " "This is the beginning of the largest operation of the war. " "She will push back the Nazis and free France. " "Thousands of brave young men are landed with a ship's fleet. " "They have secured the beaches and the German lines pushed back. " - You do not know. - What? That's all for me too familiar, Smuts. I've seen it before. Gallipoli ... 1915th An enormous amphibious landing. A frontal attack on one effectively entrenched army. We had a great plan, Kitchener and I. - This is not 1915! But the operation was truncated, through the petty Circumcision of the commanders. "Here a dozen ships less. Do not send any additional divisions. " "You do not need so much explosives." I tried to stop it. Oh, I've really tried. It should... It should be ... not a big deal. We would also have these men naked to these beaches. Warfare has developed. You have learned from your experiences. A quarter of a million men were was massacred at Gallipoli. The Empire blamed me. I had the responsibility. But no one accused me more than I myself. If it had been successful, you would have been celebrated as a hero. But it was a bust! I sent men to death! Hundreds, thousands! My hands are soaked in their blood. The men do theirs Duty and we do ours. - We have to live with guilt. - But we live, and the commanders have still learned nothing. They do not want to learn anything at all. They remain the battlefields away and do not see the price. From sniper rifles outstretched eyes. Muddled legs, Blood on the sea spray. The men, they have it! Half of the men on these ships will be rotten corpses tomorrow. That's enough now! My fiance is on one of these ships. I think so at least. He could not tell me exactly. What is the degree of service? He is an upper rostrum. On a destroyer. Arthur. Arthur Clayton. W-How did you get to know each other? We are together in Portsmouth grew up. He said he cares to me and my mother. My father was in the first war. That still goes after him. He can hardly be used for work. Arthur says we're looking for his Return a cottage by the sea. We fill it with children ... and let the door roses grow. I want to believe I do not end like this like my mother and her sisters. All their men are dead or damaged or paralyzed. I want to believe, that nothing happens to him. That nothing happens to him. I do not want to hear, that the man I love, in a few hours could be dead. And I do not want to hear it from you. I thought you were most courageous man in England. No. You have every right. Come. You sit down. Thank you. I have to dress. I need your help. What are you talking about? My duty. G-Are you going? I can not, right? I know I got you neglected - for some time already. This war requires everything and it is not exactly easy, to be a leader. It is also not easy, to be married to one. I should be behind you and support you as needed - with good humor and endless friendliness. Sometimes I wish, I could live my own life. Would you do that? I had to learn, with your edges. I have often asked myself, whether there is another man. - Would that bother you? - And how. I do not have you happy, right? At times you really have that. But now... Win, I do not know, how I should help you, if ... if you do not understand, what you have to do. The women's helper corps. We should not let them wait. No. No, I ... I'll go. - Briggs. - sir. Do you already have one Feedback from the Navy? Yes, sir. Oberfhnrich Clayton is on one of the ships to Juno beach. They are on the first move. There will be strong bombardment by the Germans expected, sir. I'm sorry. - Thank you, Briggs. - sir. They are already half way. So many young men. This is like the last war. They are almost still children. They grew up with the war. They are brave. Too young to know fear. What will you say tomorrow? No idea. That depends on the messages. No it does not. No matter what happens tonight, you must give them hope. Even if 20,000 men die, you can get their wives and mothers and let children not believe, her death would have been in vain. You must stand by them, their victims. Let them believe that with God, they will win this war. And I'll do it with them. For that is my duty. Not true? Could you be without me speak with the women 's assistant? I must write this speech. Clem? I have always fought. That is what makes me. If I do that, when I take this speech, I will not fight any more. No, you will not. Who will I be, when all this is over? If we win or it to a disaster? What will I be, if we do not fight anymore? You will always be the man, who has carried us there. - Wow wow. - Wow wow. Miss Garrett! Sir. Very good, Miss Garrett. Thank you. Winston, just came news. - The landings? - No, London. The Luftwaffe is probably the new V-missiles. We should Prepare the air protection bin. We have the aircraft, to shoot them? We try it, but these missiles have no pilots. They are incredibly fast. If Hitler thinks, he can so discourage us, then it is wrong. Miss Garrett, I need this speech again. Oh, apropos ... Thanks, Smuts. I have this message about the Supervisor Arthur Clayton. He landed with the first wave. They were under heavy shelling, but he fought with great Courage and stood it through. He is healthy and safe. Oh my God... Oh, and if you allow ... He greets her heartily. Have many, thank you, Mr. Churchill. Thank you, Miss Garrett. IN THE SIXTH HOUR OF THE SIXTH DAY OF THE SIXTH MONTH This is where the Prime Minister speaks. First the news from the major operation in France. This glorious, airborne, Land and sea. has as a common effort the Allied forces pushed the Nazis back and liberation Of France. The crossing over the sea cost substantially less losses as feared. The outstanding bombardment our ships and aircraft the German fire quickly reduced. General Eisenhower's courage is all that, what needs to be done. Everything is ready, as it was never ready, and we are watchful up into the fingertips. A good sentence. Last night the danger seemed very big. This morning we have overcome them. This great war against the rule of the Nazis is denied by simple people, the soldiers, sailors and flyers in the field, and also those who are at home. We defy Hitler with our perseverance and our character and our refusal, Tyranny, oppression, and the the darkest of the History small. This is not a war for fame, this is a war for freedom. The Germans will strike back. We do not know, where they will strike. Your new flying Bombs have no pilots. Destruction, through a soulless machine. This is a weapon of cowards, and cowards can not win. We must meet her heroically, as our soldiers do. Just like these brave men fighting on the beaches, we must also at the Homefront fight. And when they return, covered with fame, we can participate in their honor. Hitler tried again, to threaten us with fire. Four years ago he thought he can force us to the knees with lightning. He was wrong. And now he is wrong. Because we do not melt in the fire. We are hardened by fire, such as steel, and come forth, strengthened, ready for the fight. Hitler has laid a fire, whose flames cast him out Europe. Our troops will continue to fight and the Allies will continue to fight and I will continue, until we are free. We will never give up. And I will never give up. Oh, it would only be Scotch. Oh well. - Did you listen to the broadcast? - Naturally. You were wonderful. I got me yesterday Worried about you. You got something ... really Wonderful done, when you have risen, back on his feet. - I do not know exactly whether that is so. - At least it made the impression. It never goes away completely. Sometimes the color runs out of the Picture and everything is gray and desolate. And I can not force, that it will be transformed again. How does it look now? Mixed. But I have to live with that. You know, I think I'm driving this Weekend to Chartwell and spend some time in the country. Perhaps I paint something. - That is a very good idea. It has something like the sun in the afternoon in the lake, among the pastures. This could be a harmonious sight. - In color? - Its possible... - And what about the war? - Oh, I think, Eisenhower and Monty have this already quite well under control. I would understand it, if you leave me. I would leave, if I could. I do not want, that you live with my edges. Maybe we should easy to open for each other. - But you must not fight any more. - I gave that up. Are you serious? The most important thing in a war, if you think about it, is that the people really feel united. Inspired, full of hope. Maybe I'll write another speech. I think I'm running a bit. Are you getting along? I'll manage. I wish you success. OPERATION OVERLORD WAR A DECISION VICTORY FOR THE ALLIEST ON THE WESTFRONT. ON 8 MAY 1945, GERMANY AND ENDED THA SECOND WORLD WAR IN EUROPE.
