Operation Frankton, The Assault Phase. Part 2

Welcome back to the Special Forces in World War II Podcast! In this second episode of our series on Operation Frankton, we shift our focus to the daring assault phase. Join us as we recount the perilous journey of Major Herbert 'Blondie' Hasler and his 12-man team from the Royal Marine Boom Patrol Detachment as they navigate enemy waters in six canoes. Hear the tense moments as they approach Bordeaux harbour, the strategic deployment of limpet mines on German cargo ships, and the significant disruption they caused to the Axis supply chain. This episode highlights the bravery and precision of these commandos during one of the most challenging missions of World War II.#WWII #OperationFrankton #SpecialForces #MilitaryHistory #RoyalMarines #Podcast #WartimeCourage #NavalWarfare #HistoryPodcast #WorldWarII #MilitaryStrategy #BordeauxRaid #Heroism #WWIIPodcast #AssaultPhase
