Hitler Was Asleep on D-Day — And No One Dared Wake Him

During World War II, some of Germany’s most critical military decisions were delayed for a shocking reason: their leader often slept until noon. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, as Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy in the largest amphibious invasion in history, German officers began receiving alarming reports of enemy landings. But despite the urgency, there were strict orders not to wake him under any circumstances. For several crucial hours, Germany’s highest command was effectively paralyzed. Without authorization to move armored divisions or respond decisively, German defenses lost the momentum needed to repel the invasion. By the time orders were finally issued, the Allies had already secured vital beachheads—marking the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany in Western Europe. ⚠️ This video is for EDUCATIONAL and HISTORICAL purposes ONLY.
