The Tirpitz was the biggest warship In the Western Hemisphere and her influence on the war was immense. Th e 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. This gripping and authoritative book tells the dramatic story of how the British achieved the seemingly impossible task of sinking the Tirpitz. First came the torpedo bombers, then the R.A.F., then the frogmen. 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.
