IIRC the forces got scattered everywhere and the commander had a broken leg. By the time enough men were finally assembled it was too late for them to do much of anything...

Let's face it, the writing team of McCartney/Lennon was just about unbeatable. Then throw in Harrison on top of that, few other groups could even hope to challenge that output. The Beach Boys just had Brian Wilson, and he ended up having a nervous breakdown trying to keep up and out-do The...

I thought the SU-76 was based on the T-70 chassis...

One of the first books I ever read on the subject, and still one of the best. Peter Fleming was Ian's (the writer of the James Bond books) brother and in charge of some of the forces that would have operated as commando's against the German occupation had it occurred...

If the convoy stays bunched up for mutual protection they're a big target for the bombers. If they split up they become easier targets for the many ships darting in and out of the convoy, plus more of a chance to get separated and lost...

Many good points here. How much research into tides, beach suitability, etc. was done? As for stern anchors, I don't believe so...
