Operation Chariot: The St Nazaire Raid, 1942 by Jean-Charles Stasi (English) Pap

Description: Operation Chariot by Jean-Charles Stasi A highly illustrated overview of Operation Chariot, the famous St Nazaire raid, in 1942. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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.
