    568 - Operation Chariot, The Greatest Raid of All (with Nick Mason)

    Operation Chariot is frankly the most unhinged and daring military operation I have ever read about. In World War II, the Brits were so worried about the Nazi's super battleship Tirpitz, they decided to take out the St Nazaire dock in occupied France. To do this they sent hundreds of commandos on a disguised ship to infiltrate the port. Also, the ship was a giant bomb... Five Victoria Crosses later, no wonder this is referred to as "The Greatest Raid of All." On this episode we are joined by our friend Nick Mason from The Weekly Planet podcast: https://bigsandwich.co/ This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 11:57 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
