Description

The Tirpitz by David Woodward. 'The 42,000-ton German Battleship Tirpitz was the biggest warship in the Western Hemisphere and her influence on the war was immense. The British did not dare leave her alone for fear that she would break out into the Atlantic and repeat the terrible havoc of her sister ship Bismarck. First came the torpedo bombers; then the R.A.F. with bombs and depth charges; then the frogmen; midget submarines and planes from six aircraft-carries. Yet still the Tirpitz survived and it was not until the R.A.F. had carried out three attacks with 10,000 bombs that she finally, but slowly, turned over taking the lives of all but seventy of her crew of a thousand.'
