Ike: Countdown to D-Day (2004 TV Movie)

Mick Rose: King George

Quotes 

• King George VI : I am impressed by the detail, the comprehensiveness of your planning. The expected losses, the sheer carnage...

  Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower : I also ache at that thought, your majesty. I remember my first trip to Europe as a young man, and I felt blessed to be here, to see it, to touch the origins of my own country that I love so dearly. I hoped one day all young Americans will have the same opportunity. Now hundreds of thousands will, along with Britons, and Canadians and European Allies fighting to return home. This kind of visit isn't what I had in mind. But if they do not offer the sacrifice in blood now, we will all pay dearly with added gallons later. So if some must die, it is in a worthy cause.
