The forgotten dead: why 946 American servicemen died off the coast of Devon in 1944 - and the man who discovered their true story

Trama

All'inizio degli anni '70, l'albergatore Ken Small si divertiva a fare la spiaggia lungo Slapton Sands, vicino al suo hotel. Ha iniziato a trovare proiettili non espansi, dollari USA e i beni personali dei militari statunitensi. Gradualmente, mise insieme gli eventi di quella notte e iniziò la lotta per erigere un monumento per onorare i soldati morti.
