Default St Nazaire Raid - now

Just starting on BBC2 - repeat I know, but what an epic.
Puts current weather problems in perspective.

First time i had seen it tbh, it was brilliant.
There are loads of stories from that era of bravery that not many people get to hear about.
The old guy said at the end he was sure the youth of today would do the same, yes they would but i dont think there would be as many, especially with those odds of success.

Your starter for 10
Who was the TT rider mentioned as joining the Commandos near the start of the programme ?

I think there would be the people to carry out the raid but the numbers that never came back wouldn't be accepted by the public today. People seem to be upset that even one person dies in a war now.
