So I finally got around to watching Jeremy Clarkson‘s The Greatest Raid of All Time, which covers the World War II raid on the drydock at St. Nazaire by British commandos. I count this as yet another incredible story of the war which I had never heard of before–I’ve complained about this previously–but I usually figure that was the limits of my public school education. I feel a little better about this one that Clarkson didn’t know about it apparently, and it’s based out of his country.
Seriously, watch this. I know it’s an hour, but there’s a really good chance it will be the best thing you watch this weekend.
Yes, this is well worth the hour. Thanks for posting it.
the description of the raid ‘plan’ is hilarious
That was absolutley amazing. I watched it all and thank you for bringing it to my attention.
