10 Royal Marines vs. the Kriegsmarine: The Frankton Raid, 1942 - Animated

It is a frigid, silent night in December 1942. Along the river Garonne, German ships rest quietly in the water. Suddenly, two black silhouettes emerge, slowly advancing meters from shore. These small vessels are two canoes, each carrying two Royal Marines. Major Herbert "Blondie" Hasler and his team are executing Operation Frankton, a mission deep into enemy territory to sabotage German ships with collapsible canoes and limpet mines. As they paddle through the icy water, every movement must be precise and silent… The attack is about to begin.
