Why did it take British commanders so long to act once the German ships left Brest? How did local conditions help the German escape? What plans did British leaders have in place to stop German surface raiders from sailing up The English Channel unscathed? Join Al Murray and James Holland for Part 2 of this new series as they look at the audacious plan by the Nazi German Kriegsmarine to move their surface fleet out of Brest, right under the noses of British defences along The English Channel in 1942.
