Torpedo boats
Posted by: J.C. ()

<HTML>I have heard from various sources of an incident that took place in a dress rehearsal for Operation Overlord in which German torpedo boats infiltrated the landing craft killing as many as 900 infantry men of the 4th Infantry division in the process. Does anyone know where I can find further information about this incident? What torpedo boats where involved? How did they get past the destroyer screens? Anything at all would be of great help.

Regards,
