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.

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

A positive sidenote must be the bomb was under 12 meters of water-which must have increased the damage the bomb may have created if it was on land.

Very true and especially knowing what one of them did to Tirpitz.
