What German Generals Admitted About The Weather Report That Beat Them At Normandy

On June 5th, 1944, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel drove away from the Normandy coast toward Germany — because his weather forecasters swore no fleet could land in the storm-battered Channel, while six hundred miles away a Scottish meteorologist named Group Captain James Stagg saw a 36-hour gap in the sky that the Germans were completely blind to. This WWII documentary reveals how the Allies didn't just out-fight the Germans at D-Day, they out-forecast them: having won the Battle of the Atlantic in 1943, they controlled the ocean that made the weather, while German meteorologists read the last page of a book with every earlier page torn out. Discover how Eisenhower's fateful "OK, we'll go" decision, the lull that opened over the invasion beaches, and the wrong forecast that lulled the entire German command combined to decide the longest day. Featuring Erwin Rommel, Group Captain James Stagg, Naval Group West, the Southwick House briefing, the panzer reserves held asleep, and Operation Overlord's most crucial hours. After the war, German generals admitted in their own memoirs and interrogations exactly what that weather report had cost them — watch the full story of how a nation that lost the Atlantic lost the sky above it. #DDay #WWII #Normandy #WorldWarII #Rommel
