Saint Nazaire Special Ops ' 2013 by Katherine Russell Limited edition Archival pigment print - numbered and signed on front by the artist. edition of 15 only 40 w x 30 h cm About the St Nazaire Raid The St Nazaire Raid or Operation Chariot was a British amphibious attack on the heavily defended Normandie dry dock at St Nazaire in German-occupied France during the Second World War. The operation was undertaken by the Royal Navy and British Commandos under the auspices of Combined Operations Headquarters on 28 March 1942. St Nazaire was targeted because the loss of its dry dock would force any large German warship in need of repairs, such as Tirpitz, sister ship of Bismarck, to return to home waters by running the gauntlet of the Home Fleet of the Royal Navy and other British forces, via the English Channel or the GIUK gap. The obsolete destroyer HMS Campbeltown, accompanied by 18 smaller craft, crossed the English Channel to the Atlantic coast of France and was rammed into the Normandie dock gates. The ship had been packed with delayed-action explosives, well-hidden within a steel and concrete case, that detonated later that day, putting the dock out of service for the remainder of the war and up to five years afterwards. A force of commandos landed to destroy machinery and other structures. German gunfire sank, set ablaze or immobilised virtually all the small craft intended to transport the commandos back to England. The commandos fought their way through the town to escape overland but many surrendered when they ran out of ammunition or were surrounded by the Wehrmacht defending Saint-Nazaire. Of the 611 men who undertook the raid, 228 returned to Britain, 169 were killed and 215 became prisoners of war. German casualties included over 360 dead, some of whom were killed after the raid when Campbeltown exploded. To recognise their bravery, 89 members of the raiding party were awarded decorations, including five Victoria Crosses. After the war, St Nazaire was one of 38 battle honours awarded to the Commandos. The operation has been called The Greatest Raid of All within British military circles. Katherine Russel's grandfather, Stuart 'Chanty' Chant Sempill - detonated the explosives. About the artist : Katherine Russell is a London based Painter. Her current body of work seeks to deconstruct our daily encounter with media images. From war zones to deserts, from solitary figures to candle-lit night markets, her choice of source material is indiscriminate of specific content, yet resonant with the unfamiliar and unsettling nature of our media-driven age.

Saint Nazaire Special Ops ' 2013 by Katherine Russell Limited edition Archival pigment print - numbered and signed on front by the artist. edition of 15 only 40 w x 30 h cm About the St Nazaire Raid The St Nazaire Raid or Operation Chariot was a British amphibious attack on the heavily defended Normandie dry dock at St Nazaire in German-occupied France during the Second World War. La operación fue llevada a cabo por la Royal Navy y los comandos británicos bajo los auspicios del Cuartel General de Operaciones Combinadas el 28 de marzo de 1942. El objetivo era St Nazaire porque la pérdida de su dique seco obligaría a cualquier buque de guerra alemán de gran tamaño que necesitara reparaciones, como el Tirpitz, buque gemelo del Bismarck, a regresar a aguas de origen sorteando la Flota Nacional de la Royal Navy y otras fuerzas británicas, a través del Canal de la Mancha o de la brecha GIUK. El obsoleto destructor HMS Campbeltown, acompañado de 18 embarcaciones menores, cruzó el Canal de la Mancha hasta la costa atlántica de Francia y fue embestido contra las puertas del muelle de Normandía. El barco llevaba explosivos de acción retardada, bien escondidos dentro de una caja de acero y hormigón, que detonaron ese mismo día, dejando el muelle fuera de servicio durante el resto de la guerra y hasta cinco años después. Una fuerza de comandos desembarcó para destruir la maquinaria y otras estructuras. Los disparos alemanes hundieron, incendiaron o inmovilizaron prácticamente todas las pequeñas embarcaciones destinadas a transportar a los comandos de vuelta a Inglaterra. Los comandos se abrieron paso a través de la ciudad para escapar por tierra, pero muchos se rindieron cuando se quedaron sin munición o fueron rodeados por la Wehrmacht que defendía Saint-Nazaire. De los 611 hombres que emprendieron la incursión, 228 regresaron a Gran Bretaña, 169 murieron y 215 se convirtieron en prisioneros de guerra. Las bajas alemanas incluyeron más de 360 muertos, algunos de los cuales murieron después de la incursión cuando Campbeltown explotó. En reconocimiento a su valentía, 89 miembros del grupo de asalto fueron condecorados, incluyendo cinco Cruces Victoria. Después de la guerra, St Nazaire fue uno de los 38 honores de batalla concedidos a los comandos. La operación ha sido calificada como "La mayor incursión de todas" en los círculos militares británicos. El abuelo de Katherine Russel, Stuart 'Chanty' Chant Sempill - detonó los explosivos. Sobre la artista: Katherine Russell es una pintora afincada en Londres. Su obra actual trata de deconstruir nuestro encuentro diario con las imágenes de los medios de comunicación. De las zonas de guerra a los desiertos, de las figuras solitarias a los mercados nocturnos a la luz de las velas, su elección del material de origen es indiscriminada de contenido específico, pero resonante con la naturaleza desconocida e inquietante de nuestra era impulsada por los medios de comunicación.
