Tirpitz: John Lorimer's account

For once, not an obituary but the recollections of a gentleman still with us on his part in the disabling of the Tirpitz

Commander John Lorimer remembers the night he helped blow up the Tirpitz - Telegraph

 

Thanks for that Adrian. He certainly seems to have a keen sense of humour. And I loved the final paragraph, and Judy's comment

Some good details about the X Craft:

British Ships Involved - Submarines - X-Craft (Midget Submarine)

And another of the team:

BBC - WW2 People's War - X-craft, the Tirpitz and Inadequate Tow Ropes

 

I can just imagine having set the charges and waiting for the ship to lurch!

 

Amazing people.
