Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

In October 1942, Chief of Combined Operations, Vice-Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten, unveiled the outline plan for 'Operation Frankton' - destined to become one of the bravest, most courageous and imaginative raids of the entire war. By December 1942 the plan was put into action. Ten Royal Marines launched a daring attack by canoe on enemy shipping lying in the harbour of Bordeaux - a hazardous and successful offensive which only two survived.
