In this episode the events surrounding Exercise Tiger, a rehearsal for the D-Day landings in Normandy during World War II are detailed. It details the difficulties faced by the Allied forces, including communication issues, friendly fire incidents, and the sinking of several landing ships by German S-boats, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers and sailors. The video also highlights the efforts of modern-day enthusiasts to preserve the history of this period, including the restoration of historic military vehicles and the recreation of D-Day landing scenarios. The importance of learning from the lessons of the past and honouring the sacrifices made by the generation that fought for freedom during the Second World War is strongly emphasised.
