How a "Faulty" Weather Forecast Doomed the Luftwaffe on D-Day
Descrição
June 4th, 1944. A violent storm batters the English Channel, and the greatest military invasion in history is on the brink of collapse. General Eisenhower's meteorologists deliver a forecast so risky, so counter-intuitive, that it seems like a catastrophic error. They predict a brief, fragile break in the storm for June 6th.
This is the untold story of the D-Day weather forecast. While German commanders, confident in their own "perfect" forecast, stood down their forces and celebrated the bad weather as their ally, the Allies saw a sliver of opportunity. They bet everything on a prediction that everyone else called "faulty."
Discover how Group Captain James Stagg and his team used a secret network of data to read the sky in a way the Germans couldn't, granting the Allies the one weapon that couldn't be built in a factory: the element of total surprise. This is the story of how a science experiment changed the course of World War II.
