An investigation into the military disaster, which killed 639 GIs and sailors in April, 1944, as they prepared for the Normandy landings. With exclusive testimony from veterans, secret documents and rare archive. This film lifts the lid on 70-year-old allegations that American lives were unnecessarily lost during a routine amphibious landing rehearsal.
