St Nazaire just shows how brave our Commandos were, the Germans even commented on how brave they were that night. One story really amazed about one man who was manning a gun on one of the small wooden boats, it came up against a German destroyer and he kept firing on the Germans even after being shot something like 17 times, he only stopped after he passed out from blood loss. The German captain said that he deserved a VC, and he was, unfortunately it was posthumously.
LEST WE FORGET

@Talbot6832 what did u expected? americans did it and remember that before US enters the war they send to UK pilots, soldiers and supplys for "support" and i think americans didnt entered in war with Germany cuz they were doing bussiness with Hitler i think.

And this is why the RMC are total BA's. I love playing the Avalon Hill Solitaire game... Wish I knew where I stored it away at. A movie would be good, but I'd like it to stick to facts, the facts of this engagement are dramatic enough.

We actually did take part, the ramming Destroyer was an American one sent to Britain via the Destroyers for Bases deal.

they should make a film of this. I know it would be great

and even worse is that it has an american on the Russian front....

That's because it's been shot to simulate darkness!
An American with the St Nazaire heroes? Fucks sake now Americans think they took part, what a load of bullshit.

Its a bit of a cheek putting an American in with the St Nazaire raiders, but I dont mind, its a raid that I still havent seen beaten for the audacity and bravery of its intent and success of its outcome, and so its worth popularising in a video game I wonder if theire will be decent movie made of it one day because, even though war is nasty and horribel, this really was the most brilliant and honourable action of any war.
