April 29, 2014: Sunken Ships

[glatt]

Impressive technology. Although they knew exactly where the ships were, so it's not like they found a needle in a haystack. And they are only 150 feet deep.

I'm thinking, of course, of the missing jetliner in the Indian Ocean that's around 5 miles deep, or over 150 times deeper than these ships.

I seem to remember something about that. Among the dead were one or more 'overlords', men who knew the plans for D-day. So the government had to recover the bodies to insure that they were not captured.

found it...

As a result of official embarrassment and concerns over possible leaks just prior to the real invasion, all survivors were sworn to secrecy by their superiors. Ten missing officers involved in the exercise had BIGOT-level clearance for D-Day, meaning that they knew the invasion plans and could have compromised the invasion should they have been captured alive. As a result, the invasion was nearly called off until the bodies of all ten victims were found.[1]
