The story about Maj. Pluskat is portrayed exactly that way in the film "The Longest Day". I have seen that film many times...there are dozens of well known movie stars in the cast. If it had not been for Hitler's absolute control of the reserve Panzer tanks, the Normandy landings might have turned out differently. He slept thru the landings and they were all afraid to wake him up to get permission to release the tanks.

The references to winning a war certainly resonate with me when I look at our current challenges...those who would do us harm have no expectations of losing...perhaps we need to follow their lead.
