Descriere
Operation Basalt would have been a footnote in history but for the reaction of Hitler, who believed that British soldiers executed several Germans who had already surrendered and whose hands were bound. Days after the raid, he issued the infamous `Commando Order', a death sentence for those Allied commandos who fell into German hands.
