<HTML>It was excellent. At first it was funny, the ineptitude of the situation was tailor-made for laughs. But as it went on things got more serious. The bit where the guy went back to give the miniature bible he'd half-inched to a woman who had been sheltering in the same house as a 3 year old was very moving...and the second part, the raid itself, was top hole stuff. Nice anecdote about how a German officer said to one of the commandos that the Campbeltown would not be needed for the rest of the war...and the millisecond he finished talking the whole ship went up. Intriguing as well how well treated the commandos were because the Germans were so filled with admiration for anyone with the balls big enough to get up the Loire valley.</HTML>
