- Subtitles: English
The great dry dock at St Nazaire was the only one on the Atlantic coast of occupied Europe large enough to repair Germany's giant battleship Tirpitz. If it could be put out of action the chances of the Nazi raider threatening Britain's Atlantic lifeline would be greatly reduced. On 26 March 1942 the destroyer HMS Campbeltown, packed with commandos and explosives set out on a daring mission to achieve this.
