Was für ein Abendhimmel über Norwegen. 🌅

Dunkle Berge, spiegelndes Wasser und darüber ein Feuerwerk aus Orange, Rosa und Blau.

Einer dieser Momente, die man einfach nur genießen möchte. 🇳🇴 #Norwegen #Fjord #Altafjord
Alt-Text: Dramatische norwegische Abendstimmung über einem stillen Fjord: Orange und rosafarbene Wolken leuchten vor einem tiefblauen Himmel, während dunkle Berge und eine kleine Insel als Silhouetten im ruhigen Wasser liegen.

In Operation Source, Tirpitz was successfully attacked by X-6 and X-7. Skippers Donald Cameron and Geoffrey Place were both awarded the VC. (📸 Adobe Stock)

But X-7 (📸 own) was sunk after laying its charge, with Lionel Whittam and Bill Whitley killed.🕯️
Modern-day view of Tirpitz’s anchorage in Altafjord, where X-7 men Lionel Whittam and Bill Whitley lost their life. Part of X-7’s wreck was salvaged by the Kriegsmarine soon after Operation Source. The remainder was found and raised in 1976 and is now on display at the Imperial War Museum in London.

Only once the news of PQ 17s dispersal was intercepted did Admiral Reader send out Tirpitz, along with two cruisers and 6 destroyers. However, it was soon apparent that they would not be needed. The force was recalled at 9:30pm on 5th July.

Altafjord, Norwegen
Der Fjord ist tiefblau, zum gegenüberliegenden Ufer etwas heller. Das Wasser ist leicht bewegt. Rechts unten fährt ein Boot und hinterlässt einen Streifen Wellen. Die gegenüberliegenden Berge erscheinen blau mit weissen Schneeflecken. Der Himmel ist hellblau.

By this logic, sinking the Tirpitz was wrong because it had fucked off to Altafjord and was populated with Kriegsmarine conscripts.

Have you forgotten the Belgrano?

It was sailing away. A war for Thatcher from people who volunteered to fight wars.

No one was conscripted on the British side - unlike the Argentinians. 650 Argentinian and 255 British dead.

No winners. Except Thatcher.

And then move on to the fact the Tirpitz hid behind miles of screens and defenses in Altafjord, only to pop out and sink some unarmed convoys going to Murmansk.

But whin because your Ak-ak wasn't up to scratch against the Avro Lancaster.

You're looking at a Norwegian fjord. Just opposite you can see snow-capped mountains, the water glistens with sunbeams, to the right and left are dark rocks at the edge of the fjord, in the water you can also see dark rocks. Fluffy clouds can be seen in the blue sky

Prehistoric rock (5000–4000 BC) carving of fishing boat and fishier peoples at Altafjord is a fjord in Alta Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The large feature at the end of the line may possibly be an anchor or a fish like a halibut on the line.

The X-20 class was very similar to the earlier X-5 class. The X-5 class (📸 IWM A 21701) was the batch of subs (X-5 to X-10) that took part in Operation Source, the attack on the Tirpitz (📸 IWM A19625) and other German ships, in September 1943.
One of the X-5 class, with its name blanked out by censors, on the surface. This is one of the first photos of the X-craft released to the press, in January 1944. Air reconnaissance photo of Tirpitz at anchor in Altafjord, where it was attacked by midget submarines during Operation Source.
