After 10 years or so, I started doing it to the German actors. On that note ... If anyone of you know/are familiar with the famous German comedian/satirist/cartoonist/cultural icon Vicco von Buelow (Loriot), go to 2:05 and wait for the officer to bring him the report .

When I was stationed in Germany in the 70s a German woman told me that everybody knew in 43 the war was over. Germans would listen to the BBC, because whatever they reported you could take it to the bank. The BBC reported the truth even when things were not going good for the allies. Like when the Bismarck was wreaking havoc over the British Navy. German radio news stations constantly were reporting that the war was being won by attrition and victory was just around the corner. Also there were soldiers coming back from the Russian front, minus an arm or leg(s). They would tell people the German Army can not withstand the onslaught of the Russian army and it's only a matter of time. They said that the Russians just keep on coming, no matter what.
I read that Rommel wanted German tanks stationed on the beaches to push them back but was denied….actually read this in several books.

A good portrayal of just how fortunate it was that Hitler had taken power and control away from his generals, and removed their ability to adjust and strike quickly. I have no doubt that Germany had very capable generals who could have been very effective at Normandy. By the time they finally woke Hitler up and convinced him the invasion was really happening at Normandy, and only then got him to release the Panzer divisions, it was far too late. The Allies already had a beachhead and were pouring in with men, vehicles and supplies. Germany was finished - it just didn't know it yet.

Gen Max Pemsel was Chief of Staff of the German 7th Army under Gen Dollmann who was in Rennes at the time of the Invasion. It's been reported that Gen Pemsel upon learning of the invasion at Normandy informed Gen Hans Speidel that he had sufficient troops to repel the invasion (this is not depicted in the movie) upon hearing this Gen von Salmuth of the neighboring 15th Army east of Caen went back to bed ! The Panzer divisions namely the 21st and 116th were ready to roll but of course only Hitler could give the order and he was sleeping not to be disturbed !
