World War II - The Ship Turned into a Bomb

It was the middle of the night and an eerie tension hung at the German-occupied Normandie dry dock at St Nazaire. Over 5,000 German forces, alert and battle-ready, prowled the port’s precincts, their nerves frayed by the sporadic rain of Royal Air Force bombs and disturbing rumors of a strange fleet slithering westward through the fog. Then, their fear took form. Silhouettes of warships materialized from the blanket of night, fronted by a terrifying destroyer. German gunners, their fingers twitching over the triggers, were ordered to hold fire; the phantom fleet flew a German naval ensign. The flag weaved a complex web of questions, stranding the German officers in a crucible of uncertainty. Caught between fear and suspicion, at 1:22am, the Germans unleashed the full blaze of their searchlights upon the convoy, casting grotesque shadows on the estuary banks. Then a German naval signal light demanded their identification. One of the approaching ships responded with an older yet valid code pushing the German commanders deeper into their conundrum. Warning shots were fired, whistling perilously close to the deck of the lead destroyer, causing another coded response, “Ship being fired upon by friendly forces.” Confusion took over the German port. Then, in the heart of the mystery, all hell broke loose. The greatest commando raid in Naval history was now in motion.
