Description:
It is an enthralling read of the two German Battleships Gneisenau and Scharnhorst along with the cruiser Prinz Eugen when they made their famous "dash" on 12th/13th February 1942 through the English Channel from port in Brest back to Germany. Although the outcome is well-documented the tension among the German sailors is palpable as they steam through the straights of Dover waiting for the onslaught from the British forces.
