Quotes:
From Ike: Countdown to D-Day (2004) (TV)
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower: There's only one way to be absolutley certain German spies or simply loose lips don't stumble across our activities and anticipate our moves, and that is to seal the coast across the south of England and Wales to all unauthorized traffic.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill: Most of it is sealed already.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower: I mean... all of it. No civilian traffic whatsoever.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill: Are you mad, sir? Do you not realize that no one in Britain is more than 150 miles from the sea? It is no accident that Britania rules the waves and all that business. We are a people whose entire destiny is linked to the sea!
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower: Which is why you must now turn your people away from it.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill: Impossible.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower: It might mean thousands... tens of thousands of young men's lives.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill: I'll will give you this, General, you know how to take charge.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower: It's not about power, sir. It is simply the judicious use of the responsibility you entrusted me with.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill: Only under duress, and your threats to walk out. I'll have you remember that.
