(Bonus) Exercise Tiger, or Operation Tiger, was one of a series of large-scale rehearsals for the D-Day invasion of Normandy, which took place in April 1944 on Slapton Sands in Devon. Coordination and communication problems resulted in friendly fire injuries during the exercise, and an Allied convoy positioning itself for the landing was attacked by E-boats of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine, resulting in the deaths of at least 749 American servicemen. Because of the impending invasion of Normandy, the incident was under the strictest secrecy at the time and was only nominally reported afterward.

Today we're joined by George Ciampa, a WWII veteran and documentary filmmaker. But first, an update on the Delta Airlines Partnership, then we dive deep into George's history and how he became a filmmaker. We encounter some tech issues, and keep on trucking, like any podcast or filmmaker should. George walks us through his experience landing on Omaha Beach during D-Day, digging graves and the losses of Operation Tiger.

In one of the strangest games ever played, 109 years ago this week the "Tigers," a ragtag group of replacement players gathered at the last minute when the regular nine all struck in support of a suspended Ty Cobb, lost a laugher to the Philadelphia A's. It'd be pretty funny if the whole situation didn't wind up so sad, as Mike and Bill find out. Plus, happy birthday to Eric Show and Rick Rhoden!

Was last weekend's Super Bowl a super spreader event?

This week Tom takes us back to WWII to teach us all about a training exercise gone horribly wrong. 

It's 1944. It's wartime Devon, and a shed load of American troops have just turned up in a tiny British village to take part in Operation Tiger.  In what displaced Devon locals are already calling the 21st episode of the CB Wallop Podcast my luvver, join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss the Slapton Sands Tragedy - the gigantic dress rehearsal for D-Day that went drastically, horrifically wrong - twice.  Should they have used live ammunition? .. no.. no probably not.   Trigger Warning - this one's WAR so everything you'd probably expect to be involved with WAR is here. It's very tragic and sad and unnecessary, but nothing that you wouldn't really expect. WAR is HELL.  Title music by Steve Adam Production by Mike Sandeman - www.northbrightonrecording.co.uk WWII Slapton Sands disaster remembered (UK) ©BBC News - 28th April 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqYBa_EOI Seeburg Basic Library 12/26/1972 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AFq0nX5JB8&t=1234s Sources: https://www.visitsouthdevon.co.uk/things-to-do/slapton-sands-and-torcross-beach-p183983 https://www.devonlive.com/news/slapton-beach-exercise-tiger-ww2-1880601 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slapton,_Devon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_Tiger https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-27185893 https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/s/slapton-sands-the-cover-up-that-never-was.html https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2004/may/16/military.usa http://www.prisonersofeternity.co.uk/the-slapton-sands-tragedy/ https://www.dorsetlife.co.uk/2009/05/massacre-at-slapton-sands-the-great-portland-cover-up/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIbuELErqac&ab_channel=PaulBarnett http://aweewalk.com/?p=1771 https://www.npr.org/2012/04/28/151590212/operation-tiger-d-days-disastrous-rehearsal http://information-britain.co.uk/famdates.php?id=1531

It’s Lorna’s turn to teach us something this week and she’s chosen WWII tragedy, Operation Tiger. To try and lighten the mood, the group chat about their own dreadful boating experiences and Matt continuously gets confused by Devon and Dover. And as always, important historical questions are answered such as: What role would we have had in the D-Day landings? And why is Innes choosing a pedalo as his mode of transport?!

The coal-fired twin-screw steam tug, Portwey. Built in 1927, she's almost unique, very original and bleedin' interesting. In this episode, there's a history of Portwey, a description, and directions to make getting to her location in Canary Wharf easy (believe me, they help). History touched on in this episode: the 1944 disaster of Operation Tiger on Slapton Sands in Devon, the redevelopment of Canary Wharf in East London, and the Harland & Wolff shipyard in North Woolwich.
