Definitely worth watching. Apart from the interest most of us here would have in the challenge of getting there and conducting the attacks, the description of the Tirpitz crew members trapped in the space with the tide rising is chilling and thought provoking, as are the last few seconds of the whole programme, when the German Me 109 pilot reveals his still deeply felt emotions on what he had to do at such a young age. (I think he was a 109 pilot but someone will probably shoot me down if you'll excuse the expression, they did use pictures of a FW190).

Incidentally, for those who have wandered the streets of Andoya with an expensive hangover looking for something to do there is a bit of nostalgia as they pay a visit to interview a resident.
