In the icy, fog-shrouded waters of a Norwegian fjord lay the most feared warship of the Second World War — the German battleship *Tirpitz* — and Sink the Tirpitz! chronicles the relentless Allied campaign to destroy her. Léonce Peillard reconstructs, with meticulous precision and dramatic flair, the daring naval and aerial operations mounted by the British against this steel colossus, from the audacious midget submarine raids to the devastating RAF bombing missions that finally sent the mighty vessel to the bottom of Tromsøfjord in November 1944. Translated from the French and drawing on exhaustive research, Peillard's account sits at the intersection of military history and high adventure, presenting a vivid portrait of courage, ingenuity, and institutional determination on both sides of the conflict. His narrative style is urgent and authoritative, humanising the sailors, submariners, and airmen who risked everything in pursuit of a single, monumental objective. A gripping testament to the audacity of wartime strategy, this work leaves the reader asking one haunting question: what other secrets did those cold, dark waters keep?
