In early 1942, shipping losses in the Atlantic threatened Britain's very survival. In addition to the U-Boat menace, there was real concern that the mighty German battleship Tirpitz be unleashed against the vital Allied convoys. Yet only the 'Normandie' Dock at St Nazaire could take her vast size in the event of repairs being required. From the Author This book, my second on the subject of Operation 'Chariot', acts as a comprehensive guide for use both by those who simply wish to familiarise themselves with the titanic struggle which garnered no fewer than 5 Victoria Crosses, and for those who wish to walk in the footsteps of Colonel Newman VC's Army Commandos. One of the things which so sets Saint-Nazaire aside from other 'battlefield' destinations is the degree to which it remains both intact and accessible today. With this in mind, a key feature of the guide is a detailed, illustrated walking tour encompassing all the Commando targets, the Commando memorial, the huge U-Boat Pens, and the Fortified Lock constructed in the wake of the raid to ensure that raiders could never again threaten the integrity of such an important port and U-Boat base. 8.5 x 5.3"
