Product Description
[Special Feature: Channel Dash - Dover Strait Breakthrough: Operation Cerberus]
The German fleet blatantly sped past Britain's nose in broad daylight.
The battleships Chartonhorst and Gneisenau, having completed their commerce raiding operations in the Atlantic, and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, which had joined them after Operation Rheinübung, were stationed in Brest, France, and subjected to intense Allied air raids.
In February 1942, Operation Cerberus was launched to return these ships to Germany via the English Channel.
This audacious operation, which involved crossing the English Channel in broad daylight, became known as the Channel Dash and is considered one of the most iconic naval operations of World War II.
In the next issue, we will introduce the German fleet that participated in the operation and the British Navy ships that confronted them.
