Description

On December 2019, the BBC presented a news story about John Lorimer. The last hero from the mini-submarine attack in Kåfjord had died. John Lorimer had turned 97 years old, and 76 years earlier, on September 22 1943, he’d been listening to the BBC’s broadcasts while on a mini-submarine in Altafjorden. The story of John Lorimer and the crew of the X-6 is the story of the war’s bravest men.

Twelve men in three mini-submarines went on the mission, but only six returned.

This is the story of the daring feat that Churchill himself described as the most significant achievement possible in pursuit of world peace.
