About This Item
(Subject: World War II - Western Europe) An account of Exercise "Tiger" in April 1944, the disaster in which 946 US soldiers and sailors lost their lives at Slapton Sands, Devon. They were training for D-Day when German E-Boats intercepted their rehearsals for the landings. This is a comprehensive history of the tragic events, and of the author's long research and dedication that brought the little known story to light. In May, 1984 Ken Small was instrumental in the operation which raised a Sherman tank from the sea where it had lain since 1944. Ken purchased the it from the US government for $50, and it would be another 10 years of determination and personal sacrifice before Ken achieved his dream to place the Sherman where it stands today in a purpose built memorial by the sea at Torcross, Devon. Sadly, Ken passed away in 2004. (Published: 1988) (Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing) (ISBN: 0747503095) (Pagination: 197pp, 25 b/w illustrations, index) (Condition: fine in dw) UL-XXXXXX
