Survivors Recall Deadly D-Day Rehearsal


The South Florida Sun-Sentinel catches up with survivors and family members of those killed in a deadly D-Day rehearsal called “Exercise Tiger” that happened 70 years ago today. Eight ships practicing for the invasion were discovered by a German convoy. 749 U.S. service members were killed. Many involved lament that few Americans are aware of the operation - which is overshadowed by D-Day.
