Dress Rehearsal Fiasco
Even though D-Day was only two months away, the Allied forces conducted a dress rehearsal. The invasion rehearsal for Normandy took place on Slapton Sands, an English beach that had been evacuated. While participating in “Exercise Tiger,” German E-boats caught a glimpse of the fictitious invasion and destroyed the American tank landing ships. 749 members of the United States military were killed.
