Massive Blast Throws German Battleship Into Air

Discover the incredible true story of how Britain's most daring airmen brought down Nazi Germany's mightiest battleship using revolutionary "earthquake bombs." The German battleship Tirpitz was so feared that Winston Churchill called it "the Beast" and became obsessed with its destruction for years. This floating fortress survived over 30 major Allied attacks, earning the title "unsinkable." But on November 12, 1944, thirty British Lancaster bombers armed with secret 12,000-pound Tallboy bombs finally accomplished what seemed impossible - they literally flipped the massive battleship upside down in Norway's Tromsø fjord. From Churchill's obsession to daring underwater commando raids, from failed bombing missions to the revolutionary earthquake bombs that changed naval warfare forever - this is the complete story of one of WWII's most dramatic naval battles. Learn about the ship that terrorized Allied convoys without firing a shot, the brave crews who risked everything to sink her, and how this single victory marked the end of the battleship age itself.
