While that damned ship is afloat, she will be a constant menace to all our shipping. Churchill called her 'Hitler's Beast'. Launched in April 1939, the giant German battleship Tirpitz could out-fight anything in the Royal Navy. One-sixth of a mile long, with a crew of 2,400 and capable of speeds close to 40mph, the Tirpitz was also armed with a full battery of seventy-two guns, including eight 15" guns capable of sending a 2,000lb shell over twenty miles. She posed a formidable threat to Britain's sea lanes and convoys - and the fear of her sheer destructive power was so great that sinking her became a personal obsession of PrimeMinister Churchill. Using dramatic reconstructions, computer graphics and rare original footage Sink the Tirpitz! tells the gripping story of the Allies' attempts to destroy this awesome warship.
