There is a great book about the incident at Slapton Sands. Hundreds lost their lives when their beach assault training exercise was attacked by German E-boats. The casualties were secretly buried in the local area and their families were not notified until after D-Day. Then they were told that their loved ones died on D-Day, 6 June. It wasn't until 1970s(?) that the truth was discovered and released.
