Operation Chariot : The St Nazaire Raid, 1942 Paperback / softbackby Jean-Charles StasiPart of the Casemate Illustrated series DescriptionAt 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.\nThe 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.\nAfter attempted bombing raids failed, a new and far more daring plan was created; to ram a battleship loaded with explosives into St.\nNazaire, 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.\nInformationFormat:Paperback / softbackPages:128 pages, Integrated 4/4 imagesPublisher:Casemate PublishersPublication Date:30.
