At the beginning of 1942, the Tirpitz, the heaviest battleship ever
built by a European navy was on the cusp of breaking out into the
north Atlantic. The prospect of a huge German battleship patrolling
the Atlantic posed a grave threat to the convoys that served as the
lifeline for an embattled Britain. After attempted bombing raids
failed, a new and far more daring plan was created; to ram a
battleship loaded with explosives into St. Nazaire, the only dry
dock capable of supporting this unstoppable juggernaut. This volume
in the Casemate Illustrated series gives a clear overview of the
planning and execution of the raid and its aftermath, accompanied
by 125 photographs and images, including colour profiles and maps.
