Channel dash - May 1941
Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2016 7:32 am
Given the length of time that this forum has now been running it is perhaps surprising that no one has come up with the possibility of Rheinubung being launched by passing the Bismarck into the Atlantic via the English Channel in May 1941.
The Germans would have the advantage of total surprise in a daylight run, no heavy ships to oppose Lutjens plus full Luftwaffe air support.
Any comments?
