S4 Ep21: The Slapton Sands Tragedy - 1944
Manage episode 234039867 series 1401244
It's 1944. It's wartime Devon, and a shed load of American troops have just turned up in a tiny British village to take part in Operation Tiger.
In what displaced Devon locals are already calling the 21st episode of the CB Wallop Podcast my luvver, join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss the Slapton Sands Tragedy - the gigantic dress rehearsal for D-Day that went drastically, horrifically wrong - twice.
Should they have used live ammunition? .. no.. no probably not.
Trigger Warning - this one's WAR so everything you'd probably expect to be involved with WAR is here. It's very tragic and sad and unnecessary, but nothing that you wouldn't really expect. WAR is HELL.
