KDP450 > Operation Tiger Monument. In April 1944 Slapton Sands was a designated training area for Allied troops preparing for the D-Day invasions. Operation Tiger was last from 22 April until 30 April 1944, and covered all aspects of the invasion, culminating in a landing at the Slapton Sands beach. On board nine large tank landing ships (LSTs), the 30,000 troops prepared for their mock beach landing. The landing also included a live-firing exercise. Early on 28th April several German E-Boats attacked the troop ships and their escorts resulting in the loss of 638 US servicemen. The Sherman tank now standing at Torcross was salvaged from the bottom of the sea in 1984 where it has laid since the exercise. It now stands as a lasting memorial to those who lost their lives both at Slapton in April 1944 and in Normandy in June of the same year.
