BTT. One German pilot was quoted by Liddell Hart as stating that he knew the war was lost when he sighted the invasion fleet. I can believe it.

Interesting tidbit, the real Werner Pluskat, was a military consultant for “The Longest Day.” He died in 2002.

I think many Germans knew the war was lost after Stalingrad.
