Product Description
Product Description
Churchill was in despair. Britain fighting alone had been brought almost to its knees by the German U-boat blockade. The Germans were sinking allied merchantmen faster than they could build them. Britain would soon be starved into submission.
The problem was that the German U-boats operated from German occupied ports along the French Atlantic coast, in particular St Nazaire.
Winston Churchill decided to strike a blow. He would block the harbour of St Nazaire with an ancient destroyer packed with high explosives. With the aid of the newly formed commandoes it might just be possible.
But surprise and secrecy were of the essence. However the Prime Minster hadn't reckoned with the bold fanatical U-boat ace Lieutenant Hartmann. Hartmann was aware of the plan. He had to escape and warn German naval command.
In a race against time, Hartmann tackles the might of Churchill's navy. If he wins, he will change the course of history. Based on fact, Assault At St Nazaire is a fast moving naval thriller packed with action.
