The battleship Tirpitz, Germany’s largest and warship of WWII, was an enormous threat to Allied naval operations. In response, the Allies launched multiple missions that led to its destruction: Operation Source, Tungsten, and Catechism. Each mission played a crucial role in neutralizing the Tirpitz, as the battleship proved very difficult to sink…

Good video but around 17 minutes there is the repeat of an earlier clip.
Love your content. I just tried to create map animations like yours . Stunning visuals! 💯
Great history. Thanks and keep it up.
The flag you show isn't an accurate Third Reich flag. This is history, not entertainment, so there's no room for PC.
I'm sure that the Kriegsmarine still had the battleships 'gneisenau' and 'scharnhorst' after the sinking of the 'bismarck' .
Otherwise I really like your content
Currently the mini-sub X-7's bow and partial battery section are on display at Imperial War Museum Duxford, having been pulled out of Tirpitz's former fjord in 1976. The British Sub Aqua Club was attempting to find X-5 at the time, so X-7 came as a surprise. Her stern was never found because the Germans had already raised that section up after the initial attack.
X-24 is the only full example of an X-Craft around, and she even has a list of achievements regarding attacks on merchant shipping.
the stuff they did in ww2.
A pointless effort to destroy a useless enemy asset. Frankly if the Allies had simply not feared Tirpitz as much she would have been far less of a problem.
It helped a lot to have intelligence in Bletchley Park read all german messages🎉
It took an awful lot of time, effort, n resources to Sink The Tripitz. But was it really worth it in the end?
What a great series! Thanks for releasing the whole thing as one video.
Great video as always
Please accept my tribute to the Algorithm
Sorry but…🤔Unfortunately only pretty good.
But the only really bad thing is the map of Norway, Sweden and Finland… Maps have no borders and North should always be up, which is impossible to understand if it really is here…
Unfortunately, there are therefore others who have made this better and more comprehensible 😢 ….
🤨And nobody here understands how high the mountains are around Norwegian fjords either.
And why it becomes extra difficult to bomb.
😮So homework on this. There was room to make this exciting, but it was also missed.😢
So happy that i wanted to now more about the tripitz today and becaus of that find ur youtube channel. What a video it all looks perfect i love it keep on the good work! I realy love how u also let the schips route's and stuff see its so cool
You should really try to improve on the map.
The Lancaster bombers were from Bomber Command of the Royal Air Force, not the Royal Navy. Aircraft launched from aircraft carriers were from the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm not Bomber Command.
Great job! Thx!
It was $50K for the Disney interview, I thought.
great video to add to the collection.
This video is riddled with factually incorrect information and fallacies, and I am less than 5 minutes into the video.
Firstly, Tirpitz wasn’t the only remaining Kreigsmarine battleship after Bismarcks destruction, both Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were fully operational and would conduct the Channel Dash back into German waters the following year.
Secondly, the Bismarcks were not “Super Battleships” by any means. That is a propaganda term that is factually inaccurate as neither of the Bismarcks possessed superior armor or firepower to the vast majority of their contemporaries, and displaced significantly more due to their poor design and engineering inefficiency of German naval construction derived from both having fallen behind in experience due to the Versailles restrictions on the German navy.
Finally, the Deutschlands were NOT “pocket battleships”, that is a inaccurate British media term that in not way characterized the capabilities of the Deutschlands (they are heavily armed heavy cruisers with extremely poor protection and speed, less capable that many treaty cruisers of half the displacement).
…..and all of this is after watching 4:40 of the video. Zero attention to detail and a false accounting of the historical facts. Just terrible.
Jeez. the videos look like Baz Battles old WW2 videos. Congrats on the amazing video.
@ 01:45. Plan Zeeeeeeee, or Plan ZED?
Great video mate thank you for the work you put in we appreciate it 🇦🇺⚡️🫡
Those norwegian borders seem weird. Did the Nazis actually occupy parts of sweden?
@4:20 – this is incorrect. Scharnhorst was still available.
German "Heer" is not pronounced like "here". More like "hair"
I'm surprised that the Royal or US Navies didn't send in some Battleships to wreak havoc.
Nazi Germanys naval doctrine was flawed out of being overly cautious and out right scared of the British fleet. I still believe they'd of done much much better by finishing their carrier (which was 80 percent finished) and assembling a task force like you saw in allied fleets. Combine all that armor and firepower instead of sending it out piecemeal to be destroyed. If they'd captured the French fleet, it'd have helped them considerably. Just bc they didn't, did not mean their small fleet was worthless, although Hitler seemed to think so.
I understand the significance of taking this ship down. But I look at an a lot like Admiral Halsey chasing down the last Japanese carrier when other things needed done.
Germany had planed an even bigger class of battleship called the H class although this was cancelled with only 3 ( I think ) of the 400 mm guns built.
Excellent well researched presentation,
Imagine another war…. With all the woke snowflakes we have nowadays
Great video
Tirpitz lives on, as some of the Norwegian roads were repaired with her salvaged armored plating
Is Turpiz still at the botom?
This was an extremely well researched and put together story of the life and end of Tirpitz. The animations were awesome in my opinion. You've gained another subscriber!
