St. Nazaire Raid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2282 words) |
 | The German defences at St. Nazaire were considered the second toughest in western France after Brest. |
| Across the estuary from St Nazaire were four 75 mm guns at St Gilda, another four at Le Pointeau and ten or so 20 mm guns at Mindin. |
| MGB 314 survived and was the last vessel to leave, her decks covered in wounded men rescued from the waters, the two Able Seamen Savage and Smith distinguishing themselves until their deaths as they manned the exposed automatic 2-pounder (37 mm). |
