    The Dambusters Great Escape: Secret History 4OD

    Christened 'The Beast' by Churchill, Tirpitz was Nazi Germany's most powerful and dangerous battleship.

    Protected by an elite squadron of German fighters, it was seen as invincible.

    Awesome demonstration of precision bombing decades before smart weapons. Nine 12000lb bombs rained down from 15000 feet in 90 seconds, 3 direct hits and 6 near misses setting up huge shock waves
