U-Boats Attacked Yanks
In Training for D-Day

WEYMOUTH, ENGLAND. - Ger
man submarines slipped into the
English channel and %torpedoed sew
eral landing craft laden with Ameri-
can troops during a preinvasion ex-
ercise near here last summer, the
United States army disclosed re-
Gently. No details of the incl
dent were given. The submarine
episode was revealed in an army
announcement that it was discon-
tinuing its activities at the twin
ports of Weymouth and Portland,
which served as the main bases for
the D-Day assault on the Normandy
beaches.
Over a year ago Allied troops be-
gan massing on the south coast OF
England for the invasion. While the
actual storming of the beaches may
have caught the Germans by sur
prise, it was no secret to the enemy
that something was in the wind.
They set out to make things as
rough as possible.
Thousands of troops moving into
the assembly areas constantly were
exposed to air attack. Many staging
and assembly bases, regardless OF
how well hidden or c~amoufaged
they were, suffered direct hits. Cas-
ualties we're high in some.
