D-Day from the German perspective. Star general, Erwin Rommel, celebrates his wife’s birthday… 500 miles from Normandy. A dinner party at his vacant headquarters is interrupted by alarming news, as the first Allied troops arrive in France. But as the Nazi top brass scramble to respond, Hitler quite literally snoozes.
