D-Day - The Forgotten SAS Operation

In the early hours of June 6th, 1944, an extraordinary secret operation codenamed ’TITANIC’ began in support of the Normandy Landings. Small teams of brave SAS were parachuted deep behind German lines along with hundreds of dummies, to make the Germans think that large parachute landings were underway - the ruse was designed to lure German forces away from the real parachute landing zones and the beaches. For the SAS who went with the dummies, for most of them ’TITANIC’ was a one-way mission. Dr. Mark Felton FRHistS, FRSA, is a well-known British historian, the author of 22 non-fiction books, including bestsellers ’Zero Night’ and ’Castle of the Eagles’, both currently being developed into movies in Hollywood. In addition to writing, Mark also appears regularly in television documentaries around the world, including on The History Channel, Netflix, National Geographic, Quest, American Heroes Channel and RMC Decouverte. His books have formed the background to several TV and radio documentaries.
