Hitler had a strong reason for not accepting the opinions of his generals. As Siegfried Westphal, Rundstedt's chief of staff and now a steel executive, told Cate: "The generals had been wrong about both Czechoslovakia and Poland.

"The Gibraltarians are making do," TIME Correspondent John Blashill reported from the Rock. "They are pitching in, answering the call, much as their British cousins did during the Blitz. The Navy dockyards are functioning. Essential services are working. Shop owners have put their wives and teen-age children behind the counters.
