True! However, thinks that this operation should be given credit,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Source certainly includes other German ship, but should be mentioned in any case. "Tallboy"
stood for the stroke of mercy.

Exploded ... something went "wrong" or intentionally.

The largest unexploded World War Two bomb ever found in Poland has detonated during the defusing process, a Polish Navy spokesman said.

Weird!

No
sooner do I casually mention an obscure thing: person, place, event etc. than it becomes a real news matter??! Freaks out my wife with whom, while watching an old 12 O'clock high TV episode Sunday night, I had discussed the Tallboy attacks from Lancasters vs puny B-17 loads, later prompting my comment in Who What Where thread...

Henty-Creer of X5 was not decorated,(like the other minisub commanders in the Tirpitz attack) but was ''mentioned in dispatches'' is appalling! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...War_A19637.jpg
