The Channel Dash of 1942, also known as Operation Cerberus, was a daring and successful naval operation by the German Navy during World War II. The operation involved the evacuation of three powerful German warships, the battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, from their base in Brest, France, to Germany.
The Channel Dash was a significant achievement for the Germans, as it allowed them to avoid being trapped in Brest by the British Royal Navy. The operation began on February 11, 1942, when the German ships slipped out of the harbor and made their way through the English Channel, with the support of Luftwaffe bombers and fighters.

I was reading a biography of Nelson in shop where Commander Fanning came in. Happy to see some one interested in Naval History he offered his copies of Nelsons letters for me to read. I was told after he left that he had been awarded the D.S.C. Commander Fanning returned with a huge book and I asked about his medal. He said that he had been a navigator whilst chasing the Prince Eugene and Gneisenau and that the government had dished out some medals and his name was pulled out of hat to recieve a medal. When you think of the responsibility of of these young men, I feel very humble.

I actually think the pronunciation was quite good. Except maybe for the city of Wilhelmshaven, which sounded like "Wilhelmshown". I suppose this is an artificial computer generated voice. Maybe it's programmed or follows the name "Copenhagen" as a role model, which in Danish is written "København" and pronounced "Koebenhown". The V in Wilhelmshaven (literally: Williamsport /Williamshaven) is pronounced as F. Side note: The V in German and Dutch words and names of Germanic origin is pronounced as F . Examples: Vater (father), Vogel (bird), vier (four), vorbei (over, past), Volk (people, the people, folk), Hannover (Hanover), von Bismarck, van Beethoven, Amstelveen (Dutch town), Bremerhaven (coastal city, port of Bremen) ... Whereas the V in German words of Latin/Romance origin is pronounced as V. Like: Variation (variation), violett (violet), Vibration, Viktor/Viktoria (personal names), Vakanz (vacancy), Lavendel (lavender) etc.

The account is good, but does not mention that Bletchley Park had decrypted the co-ordinates of the swept channel past Terschelling, which enabled the RAF to drop mines into the swept channel and thus damage both battlecruisers. Scharnhorst took months to repair and my recollection is that Gneisenau was bombed while on a floating dock at Kiel so that she was never used again in anger. I defer to better information.

Nicely done Warline! Altough to be frank your map about the Dutch coastline is not just "more recent" as somebody has already pointed out but also incorrect regardless of the time it is set. Because the dijk which separates the Ijjselmeer from the North see was already built by the beginning of the war but the Markerwaarddijk which separates the Ijjselmeer and the Markermeer was not. But the point is the Markermeer is shown as a body of water on your map but the Ijjselmeer is not. This is a clear mistake whatever time the map is based on. I know it sounds harsh but to be honest I really loved your work and your video. It is great that you have put this together. I just wanted to help you with you later contents. Keep up the good work!

@@TheWarline You may not be mistaken, I have strong recollections 9.2" guns were on the coast, ex-navy ones which had no ship to go on (though I think Drac mentioned plans for a "super cruiser" with 9.2" guns..). I wouldn't bet proper money on it however (the 9.2" coastal guns, not the super cruiser). My favoured author said Pooh was installed in Feb '41 so could have been around for the Dash but later on two 15" were also mounted. They and the 14" guns had duels with German heavy coast guns it is claimed, along with some railway guns of similar calibre. Anyway, today I have enjoyed two of your videos and expect I will enjoy some others no doubt.

Scharnhorst and her sister had battleship armor. Even thicker than the French dunkerque class. (Which were proclaimed battleships.) But their guns were vastly inferior to battleships by WWII. Some would say this makes them a propriety class. Others say that since they were meant to murder cruisers and run from battleships. This makes their roll that of battlecruisers. And therefore battlecrusiers they are..... In Truth, At the end of the day you can call them whenever you want.

Even thicker then the Dunkerque does not mean much. The Twins had a really strong Beltarmour with a decent Turtleback as backup. The Gund are also not too bad. They really performed quite well for the caliber. Penetration and range clearly make them capital ship guns. The mission profile for the Twins also was not cruiser killing but to oppose the Dunkerques. That makes them Battleships and they are classified as such.

Prinz Eugen was not sunk at Bikini Atoll, she survived able and baker, due to a bilge pump failure she rolled over at Kwajalein Atoll where she rests with her rudder, port shaft and center screw visible.

Even if they despised the Nazis, the British had to at least appreciate the Nelson-like boldness associated with the Channel Run.

Why is the closed captioning text so wildly different from the spoken audio? In some parts, it's literally describing details never covered by the narrator.

So, by 1942, the English hadn't figured out the proper use of dive bombers and torpedo bombers against ships.

Brilliant except for one very important qualifier - by this time the British had cracked almost all the German enciphered combat coms. Although still deliberately withheld it is almost certain the British knew every aspect of the German Navy directions to their ship commanders as well as essential navigational parameters that allowed them to close in as they did. There are some references out there that provide some limited descriptions of what Benchley Park had already done, the impact on specific seemingly amazingly successful operations (to include Kursk) remains highly classified or obfuscated. Admittedly however egalitarianism is a potentially lethal strategy in warfare, being oblivious and remaining so to systematic security breaches or technology compromises are extremely serious issues that must be prevented with utmost attention to potential indicators and ruthless prompt energy to immediately and verifiably correct such issues.

I read someplace that, after the Gneiseau was badly damaged by bombing in Kiel in early 1942, it was planned to not only replace her bow but lengthen it. Would this have allowed her to carry eight 15 inch guns? I assume that she could not do so in her original design.

No. Her nine eleven inch in three turrets were to have been replaced by six fifteen inch in three twin turrets.

Much as people like to talk about "blah blah, German strategic defeat" , "blah blah running away / retreating", while extolling the heroism of the British units which were sent piecemeal as part of the 'plans' for Fuller, I simply cannot fault the German operations in either planning or execution. 'Cerberus' is rightly viewed as a brilliant operation by the Germans.

Do you know who firdst called the Channel Dash a German Strategic Defeat? Some chap called Erich Raeder. I suggest that he was in a position to know.

The more I watch this video, the more I'm convinced it's read by a bot, who's reading a script with typos in. Clearly at one point the narrator says "petrol line", rather than "Patrol line" which left me very confused.

Rest in Peace: *Kenneth Campbell, VC* and his three crew mates, *Sergeants J. P. Scott DFM RCAF (navigator), R. W. Hillman (wireless operator)* and *W. C. Mulliss (air gunner)* that died alongside Sir Campbell after their Beaufort was bought down by anti-air after their daring torpedo run. According to Wiki. The Germans buried Sir Campbell and his three crew members with full military honours. Sadly, while their heroic sacrifice didnt sink the Gneisenau, They still did enough damage to push her back to port

That was bluff by the Brits, you want those boats back in Germany, harry them to make them think they made it. Building false confidence. Super clever move.
