On 28th March 1942 600 sailors and elite commandos led a daring raid against one of the most heavily defended ports in occupied Europe. Their mission? To infiltrate Saint-Nazaire and destroy the Normandie Dry-dock, the only facility large enough to repair the German battleship Tirpitz. That raid, known as Operation Chariot, whilst costly, did achieve its objective, and has gone down in history as one of the most famous raids of WW2. • Join us on the Battlefields in 2024 at Saint-Nazaire with our friends at Classic Battlefield Tours: • https://classicbattlefieldtours.com/t... • • Creating these videos is a lot of work, and it would be possible without your support.
