Gentlemen...

this is a chart
for June 3, 1925.

You'll notice here and here

a temporary weakening
of pressure over the Azores,

just as we're seeing today.

Now, within 24 hours,
that pressure reasserted itself,

and it cleared the storm
threatening Northern Europe.

As you can see...

occurred in 1904 and 1925,

plenty of others,

Tomorrow, Monday, June 5th,
is good to go.

Stagg?

You've got the floor.

Nobody here likes me very much.

I realize that,
and that's all right.

I don't expect you to like me,

but I do want you
to listen to me.

Um, I could stand here
and provide you

with yet more, uh, data--

the latest barometric readings,
the wind speeds,

the new upper-air soundings
that we've collated--

but none of it is going to make
a lick of difference, is it?

Is it?

Because you want
to believe that--

what Colonel Krick's just said,
that it's going to be safe

to land in Normandy tomorrow--
and so that's what you believe.

But everything
that he's just said

is pure, unadulterated...

horseshit.

(officers murmuring)

You can muster
all the tanks and soldiers

and ships that you like.

You can assemble the greatest
armada that ever there was,

but if you invade tomorrow,
they're going to be washed away.

Because the storms that
I'm talking about are real,

and the jet stream
that's propelling them

towards the Normandy coast
is real,

and the wrath of nature...

...is real.

And if you ignore it,

then countless men
and countless boys...

That's it.

He's lost his bloody mind.

Why is it horseshit?

Yes, the weather was
as he described

in 1904 and 1925,
but he fails to mention 1916.

June 5th,
the Battle for Mount Sorrel.

Then, as now, there were
areas of high pressure

above the Azores,
but the storms came anyway.

Many people here will remember
that battle.

Chaos. Absolute chaos!

Thousands of lives lost!
