Sink the Tirpitz

The Tirpitz was the Third Reich’s ultimate weapon. Sister ship to the Bismarck, she was the most successful German battleship of WWII. She alone had the power to destroy an entire convoy, and from 1939-44 she terrified Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin and Allied Naval Forces throughout the Atlantic and Arctic seaways. It took 36 attempts over five years to finally sink her. ‘Sink the Tirpitz’ recreates the five-year struggle to destroy Hitler’s biggest battleship, brought to life by American Canadian and British survivors working alongside their counterparts in the Forces today.
