Why did Hitler decide to move his ships from Occupied France? How did German commanders plan to get past formidable Royal Navy and RAF defences? What preparations did Luftwaffe commanders make for Operation Thunderbolt, the air operation to cover the dash?
Join Al Murray and James Holland for Part 1 of this new series as they look at the audacious plan by the Nazi German Kriegsmarine to move their surface fleet out of Brest, right under the noses of British defences along The English Channel in 1942.
