The Untold Story of a Mission That Changed the War

Their goal was to destroy the Normandie drydock, the only place that could service the battleship Tirpitz. Into the Jaws of Death tells the story of the mission, the men, and why this daring operation changed the course of World War II.
About the Book
Why This Raid Mattered
The Saint-Nazaire raid removed the last safe haven for Germany’s most dangerous battleship.
By destroying the Normandie drydock, the Commandos forced the Tirpitz to stay bottled up in the Norwegian fjords. This shifted the balance of naval power in the Atlantic, protected Allied convoys, and changed the strategic course of the war. It was a high-risk mission with consequences far beyond its size.
