At the outset of World War II, Scapa Flow was supposed to be the
safe home base of the British Navy - nothing could penetrate the
defences of this bastion. So how, in the dead of night, was Gunther
Prien's U-47 able to slip through the line of protective warships
to sink the mighty Royal Oak? This book provides the answer with an
account of one of the most daring naval raids in history. Drawing
on the latest underwater archaeological research, this study
explains how Prien and his crew navigated the North Sea and Kirk
Sound to land a devastating blow to the British. It reveals the
level of disrepair that Scapa Flow had fallen into, and delves into
the conspiracy theories surrounding the event, including an alleged
cover-up by the then First Sea Lord, Winston Churchill.
