Exercise Tiger was a large-scale dress rehearsal for the D-Day landings in 1944 that went horribly wrong.
A friendly fire incident was compounded when high-speed German torpedo boats intercepted an American convoy off the coast of Southern England.
Over 700 men were killed, more than were killed on Utah beach on D-Day itself!
