First edition.

Target Tirpitz is gripping WW2 storytelling at its best about Hitler’s greatest weapon.  It was reputed to be unsinkable and became  an Allied obsession to destroy her at any cost.

More than thirty daring operations were launched against the 52,000 ton monster. Royal Navy midget submarines carried out an attack of extraordinary skill and courage against her when she lay deep in a Norwegian fjord in an operation that won VCs for two participants. But, it was not until November 1944 that an operation by RAF Lancaster Bombers finally killed off Hitler’s last battleship.

Full of colour, insight and drama, Target Tirpitz is an unputdownable account of one of the great epics of the Second World War.
