A Brilliant Little Operation: The Cockleshell Heroes and the Most Courageous Raid of World War 2

The “Cockleshell Heroes” carry out a daring raid on German shipping in Bordeaux Harbor. A team of 12 British commandos, led by Major John D. Frost, paddle their canoes into the harbor and attach explosives to six German ships. The raid is a success, sinking or damaging all six ships, but only four of the commandos make it back to Britain.
