Summary

[edit]
Description Slapton Sands was used as a battle practice area, by the Americans, for the Normandy Invasion. One exercise went wrong and almost 800 servicemen lost their lives. In 1984 one of Sherman tanks which was lost when a landing craft sank, was recovered from the seabed and now stands at Torcross as a tribute to those lost on that fateful day.
