St Naziare U boat pens and Fangrost roof. france . movie

3 of 3 U boat pens. From the capitulation of france in 1940, the Germans started to construct a series of massive concrete U boat pens along the west coast of France, in order to patrol the Atlantic Ocean, and stop the shipping of goods to the UK , so that they could starve us out of the war. In this movie, I visit The St. Nazaire U boat pens, with its fortified Lock/Dock and the magnificant Fangrost roof, which the allies found it impossible to penetrate. I also touch on Operation Chariot. The plan to blow up the Normandy dry dock, so that the Battleships Bismark and Tirpits couldn`t dock here for repairs. Deemed the greatest raid by the british, in world war two. ( i did plan on doing a seperate movie on this raid, but recorded the wrong dock !.. I will have to return. ) Thanks for watching !!
Many thanks for google snapshots.
