Hitler Slept In On D-Day
At his residence the night before D-Day, Hitler entertained some guests. The dictator was awake until 3 a.m., and the invasion of Normandy began less than four hours later, at 6:30 a.m. when the dictator was asleep. Hitler was finally awakened at noon when he was informed of the massive invasion of Normandy that was taking place at the time. The fact that Hitler did not take the situation seriously resulted in him being slow to approve requests for reinforcements. This was a critical blunder of judgment.
