The problem was that the German U-boats operated from German occupied ports along the French Atlantic coast, in particular St Nazaire.
Winston Churchill decided to strike a blow. He would block the harbour of St Nazaire with an ancient destroyer packed with high explosives. With the aid of the newly formed commandoes it might just be possible.
But surprise and secrecy were of the essence. However the Prime Minster hadn't reckoned with the bold fanatical U-boat ace Lieutenant Hartmann. Hartmann was aware of the plan. He had to escape and warn German naval command.
In a race against time, Hartmann tackles the might of Churchill's navy. If he wins, he will change the course of history. Based on fact, Assault At St Nazaire is a fast moving naval thriller packed with action.
