Hey folks, This is a very interesting show, but it is ruined with all the innuendo and open declarations of "cover-up" and other sinister accusations. Eisenhower is blamed several times for ordering the operation to be kept secret. Well, of course the operation was kept secret - it was a practice exercise just six weeks before the D-Day invasion. Repeatedly during the show it is made to appear there were very sinister reasons for a discrepancy in the number of American soldiers and sailors killed in the exercise, and that just was not the case at all. One source reported some 600+ killed and another source later reported about 110 additional men killed. Later in the show, it was stated the 110 additional men who were reported killed in the exercise appeared to be a mistake - not some sinister plot. As I stated earlier, this was an interesting show, but the whole "sinister hype" crap repeated throughout the show ruins what really is an important footnote to our D-Day preparations. Because of the interesting historical information, my initial thought was to rate this as five stars out of ten. After further consideration as to how much the sinister hype simply ruins the show, I decided a rating of two or three stars out of ten would be more appropriate. By all means, watch the show just for its historical content, and try to ignore the all the sinister stuff thrown in by the producers. It is interesting to note that none of the actual veterans who were there made any part of it sinister. Yes, they were ordered to keep the exercise secret - especially considering the D-Day invasion was just weeks away. Of course the veterans reported their sadness at the loss of their comrades, but all of them recognized they were at war and the need for secrecy. It is a shame the producers of this show could not simply have told the story without adding all the phony drama about sinister plotting. Best wishes, Dave Wile

I have very mixed feelings about "America's Secret D-Day Disaster". While I think the story should have been told, HOW it was told seemed a bit disgusting and was more intent on creating controversy instead of explaining this little-known event from WWII. Surely they could have done a much better job of telling this story! About six weeks before D-Day, there was a practice landing done at a beach in Britain and seemed much like the beaches of Normandy. However, despite the planning that went into it, luck was on the German Navy's side and a group of fast patrol boats came upon the Allied flotilla at night and they sank or damaged several large landing craft--killing over 600 men. But here's the problem...the show makes it sound as if this was a big screw-up when instead it was just the fortunes of war. Additionally, implying that the military was hiding something was ludicrous--of course they were hiding something!!! They didn't want to broadcast the success of the German raids nor did they want to publicize that they were practicing for D-Day!!! So of course they wanted to minimize and hush it all up...duh! It's all a real shame as without this irresponsible narration, the rest of the film is terrific. You get to hear various survivors and participants talk about their stories. But their stories and sacrifices are also cheapened by sensationalism that simply did NOT need to be in this documentary.
