(Subject: Naval & Maritime: Ships, Submarines & Other Vessels - General) On 22 September 1943, six X-craft midget submarines set out from Scotland to sink the battleship at anchor in Norway. Only X5, X6 and X7 reached the target. Lt Donald Cameron in X6 and Lt Godfrey Place in X7 placed their charges successfully, but were forced to surrender. Both were awarded the Victoria Cross. The fate of X5 is unclear. Although Tirpitz was not sunk she was put out of action until April 1944.

UK.: Sutton Publishing, 2006. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Award winning journalist Alf Jacobsen relates one of the most incredible tales of the Second World War, when Royal Navy X-craft midget submarines attacked the mighty German battleship Turpitz planting high explosives beneath the keel as it lay in the fjords of northern Norway. X5 and her crew were never heard of again, and were thought to have failed in their operation, but new evidence by Jacobsen may point to them actually succeeding in their mission. This book is a fascinating read in to one of the secret missions of World War Two..
