A little aside here. My grandpa was at the St. Nazaire raid. Well at isn't as accurate as saying he was a part of the commando group that went in on foot. His detail was assigned to blow up a munitions dump. Obviously not the sexy targets of the harbour but one that was in the mix of collatoral damage. His descriptionm of the explosion is a great big "KA-POW!"
That's my bit to add.
