Operation Chariot

A daring plan unfolded to use the HMS Campbelltown as a Trojan horse, filled with explosives, to breach the gates of a critical dry dock at St. Nazaire. With a clever disguise and a small fleet of commandos, the mission aimed to inflict maximum damage on German naval capabilities. As the British forces approached, they employed a mix of deception and urgency to execute their audacious strike under the cover of night.
