Southwick House, Portsmouth — D-Day HQ

Churchill — United Kingdom

Scene

Churchill's personal struggle with the D-Day decision — his fears, his doubts, and Eisenhower's ultimate call at Southwick House.

History

Southwick House served as Allied Naval Commander-in-Chief HQ for Operation Overlord. It was here that Eisenhower made the fateful decision to launch D-Day on June 6 after a brief weather window opened. The map room where the decision was made is preserved as it was in 1944.
