Naval Battle of Narvik: Annihilation (Part 3)
WWII historian, author of Normandy '44, Sicily '43 and The Savage Storm
Essential · Edition 2026-06-19
Holland and Murray wrap up their Narvik naval series with the destruction of the remaining German destroyers, the role of Swordfish torpedo bombers, and Warburton-Lee's posthumous VC. Holland is characteristically good on the Royal Navy's tactical execution and the sheer chaos of fjord fighting. A proper conclusion to a strong series — if you haven't started from Part 1, go back.
