The true story of Exercise Tiger, the disastrous rehearsal for D-Day
Set against the backdrop of April 27, 1944, the narrative unfolds during Exercise Tiger, a crucial rehearsal for the D-Day landings. As German E-boats launch a surprise attack, the serene Devon coast transforms into a site of chaos and destruction. The story reveals the harrowing events of that night, where tales of explosions and frantic seaborne maneuvers emerge, highlighting the perilous stakes of preparing for the Utah Beach landings. The tension and urgency of wartime preparations are vividly captured in this gripping historical account.
On April 28, 1944, a rehearsal for the D-Day landings off England's Devon coast went terribly wrong. A series of blunders allowed German E-boats to intercept the convoy of landing ships, and 946 Americans—many of them young and untrained—lost their lives. Yet until the publication of The Forgotten Dead, the true scale of this tragedy had never before come to light. This is the story of one man and his obsession to honor the memory of the 946 American soldiers who died needlessly that night. In the early 1970s, Ken Small, a hotelier, began beachcombing along Slapton Sands, near his hotel. He soon discovered unexpended bullets, U.S. dollars, and the personal possessions of U.S. servicemen. Gradually, he pieced together the events of that night and began the struggle to erect a memorial to honor the dead soldiers. This is the story of how he fought governments on both sides of the Atlantic to uncover the truth.
