Description

"EXERCISE TIGER--THE DRAMATIC TRUE STORY OF A HIDDEN TRAGEDY OF WORLD WAR II" is the formerly Top Secret account of an exercise gone wrong. On April 28, 1944, nearly 700 GI's died in a colossal mix-up of Allied command and communication. For some 40 years the story was locked away in Top Secret American and British military archives. Here, Nigel Lewis uncovers the shocking account of Exercise Tiger! Allied landing craft--LSTs--were practicing maneuvers along the English shoreline. Without warning, 7 German E-Boats penetrated the British escort and savagely attacked the undefended American troops. In the confusion, U.S. ships turned their guns on each other and hundreds fell under a hail of "friendly fire". Here is the entire account to include the incredible cover-up.
