Churchill

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 ...
