In February 1942, three of the major ships of the German surface
fleet - the battle-cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, and the
heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen - stormed out of the harbour at Brest on
a dramatic voyage back to Germany. Passing through the straights of
Dover, the ships faced everything the Royal Air Force and the Royal
Navy could throw at them. In a dramatic running fight, the ships
managed to sail right under the nose of history's greatest maritime
nation to reach the safety of Germany. The brilliantly executed
operation brought great humiliation to the British - Hitler, who
had developed the plan, had judged perfectly the reaction of the
British command to the Channel Dash. Repositioned, these fast,
heavily armed ships went on to threaten the Allied Arctic convoys
that kept Russia in the war at Stalingrad. This book tells the
complete story of this great race, from the planning through to the
repercussions of this unique Germany victory.
