So much to go wrong…

Intelligence leaks

U-boat attacks

Non-military maritime accidents

Of course, the transit was successful, so my points are moot, but if I had been in on the planning, I would have probably recommended a series of cargo flights to offset the risk of a single, heavily-laden ship.

My first thought was...There must be some place within the UK, Scotland, Ireland. And old castle, some hide away place. Or better yet more than one place. With only a few select, necessary, people in the know.

I'd have thought that the risk of finding out where it was hidden in the UK would be less than a harrowing trip across the pond. I guess it depended on how soon they thought they would win back the country.

We’re talking nazis here. If they’d overrun the UK, they would start torturing all & sundry until someone cracked.

showing us the way to victory.

Thanks for sharing this.
