Submarine strikes Tirpitz and saves Allied convoy
Soviet submarine under Captain Nikolai Lunin reportedly scored two direct torpedo hits on the German battleship Tirpitz in the Barents Sea while protecting a large Allied supply convoy. Lunin’s feat allowed the convoy to reach a Russian port as German forces reportedly retreated toward the Norwegian fjords. The Tirpitz, sister to the Bismarck, remains a mystery ship with disputed details.
