Histoire :

1944. Les Alliés se préparent pour la grande offensive qu'ils ont prévue en Normandie et qui devrait définitivement débarrasser l'Europe du fléau nazi. Chaque état-major est en effervescence. Le général Eisenhower hésite quant à la date fixée, le 6 juin, en raison du mauvais temps. L'atterrissage des troupes aéroportées et le débarquement sur cinq plages normandes s'annoncent difficiles. Il faut créer des diversions pour semer la confusion chez l'ennemi. Pendant ce temps, la plus grande tranquillité règne dans le camp allemand. Le maréchal Rommel est même reparti en Allemagne. Puis soudain, la radio laisse tomber la seconde partie du vers de Verlaine qui annonce le début de l'opération.
