Question and options
Directions: Read the passage and answer the question.
It was 7 a.m. on Sunday, June 4, 1944. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, Commander in chief of the German Army Group B – guarding the occupied French coast facing the English Channel – was travelling in a car next to the driver’s seat. He was tired of waiting for the Allied invasion to begin. Leaving on this particular dismal Sunday morning suited Rommel fine. The timing of the trip could not have been better for the weather was so bad that the Allies would not even think of a landing. Beside him on the seat was a cardboard box containing a pair of handmade grey-shade shoes, size 5½, for his wife Lucie-Maria. There was a special and very human reason why he wanted to be with her on Tuesday, June 6. It was her birthday.
