13: The end of the battleship Tirpitz, last of the leviathans
This is the story of the destruction of the German battleship Tirpitz-not in pitched battle or sea-hunt but in a stealthy undenvater adventure by frogmen of courage and determination. In 1944 the sinking of Tirpitz in the apparently safe harbourage of Norwegian coastal waters constituted the final blow to enemy naval prestige and potential: this was the last epic chapter in the Battle of the Atlantic.
Narrated by MICHAEL FLANDERS with Eric Francis and John Bryning , Kerry Francis Brian Haines , Godfrey Kenton Peter Pacey
