Captains

In the early morning hours of April 28, 1944, the fog of war descended on a convoy of eight ships carrying thousands of American soldiers to an invasion rehearsal on the beaches of an obscure English village. The full-scale exercise of an assault on a beach under the code name Operation Tiger was on its way. What happened next, led to the disaster. Torpedoes from German E boats, fuel from the sinking and damaged LST's that spilt into the water and caught fire, confusion, darkness and open fire turned planned military exercise into hell.
