Not breached...more like sprinted through with a huge slice of good fortune due to the absence of the RN in the area at the time....not that they entered the channel to actually do any fighting...more like running for cover to a safer haven.
Wondering what happened to those naval units such as the Gneisenau and the Scharnhorst....best not mention Tirpitz I suppose.
Still no answer to #46
