Here’s a military operation during World War II by the Royal Air Force (RAF) I don’t hear about often. Saw it on Wikipedia Operation Paravane – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paravane as I was looking for something else. This was an attack to destroy or heavily damage KMS Tirpitz.

I like looking for history and military history things I haven’t heard of before. There is plenty out there and that’s not counting the things that have been lost to history.
