Operation Source - Tirpitz Raid '43 (1 Viewer)

[Combat]

Osprey has a new book on this fantastic raid in Sept. 1943 involving six midget submarines (X-craft). They were towed from Scotland to Norway. Makes for some interesting possibilities in the toy soldier world. The X-craft subs were only about 51 feet long. So they could realistically be made in 1/30 scale. There is a great image in the Osprey book of one of the crew members using his foot to move aside a German mine that had become entangled on the tow line.
