Title: Operation suicide
Description: During WW2, it is hard to imagine a situation where the British High Command could think that one of the only ways they could attack Hitler was to send ten canoeists with limpet mines to paddle up the Gironde estuary in an attempt to sink German blockade ships in Bordeaux harbour. Yet this is precisely what happened.
