Evans Genre: Historical Publisher: Pen & Sword Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 138 Description: This is a readable and at times moving account of Operation Title, the attempt to disable the German battleship Tirpitz in Norway using human torpedoes or “Chariots”. Operating these manned torpedoes required intensive training, skill and stamina. The Title mission did not succeed for reasons beyond the control of those attempting it, and the story has some of its sharpest focus on the difficult escape by the courageous Anglo-Norwegian team involved. In particular, the author focuses on the experience and the tragic death of one of them, Able Seaman Robert Paul Evans. Having been shot twice in the course of the escape attempt, AB Evans was eventually and tragically executed in captivity by the Germans as a result of Hitler’s infamous Commando Order.
