Uncle Johnny survived Operation Tiger during World War II. Operation Tiger was a practice run for the D-Day invasion in France. The Germans found out about it and attack the deploymnet soldiers, alot of soldiers were killed during the exercise. (We should research this further)

Did you every hear him tell any stories about it or about his time in the military? I’ll see if I can find any books or articles on Operation Tiger.
