20:00: Rommel has finally arrived at his HQ in Chateau La Roche-Guyon. He has driven non-stop.
His aide, Captain Lang, runs inside and is shocked to hear a Wagner opera playing from General Speidel's office. "General Speidel," he asks, " the invasion has begun and you're able to listen to Wagner?"
"My dear Lang, do you honestly believe that my listening to Wagner will make any difference whatsoever to the course of the invasion?" replied Speidel.
As the three begin discussions, there is a feeling of depression.
