| Centurion | The Other Guy Yes it was certainly Churchill's idea, however this was a lengthy war winning memorandum, so it was a potential offensive operation (although there was never much chance of winning the war through any naval operation against Germany, particularily this one, more like losing it on the British side!) If you need another clue, it was a particularily ludricous idea in view of what happened in subsequent naval operations later in the war.

| Tribunus Laticlavius  | or maybe even Norway? I am assuming this has something to do with Churchill's "Catherine" plan but I can't find answers to the rest of the question.

| Centurion | Who produced a lengthy war winning memorandum Yes it was Churchill What was it called, what did it involve, and by what means was it scuppered. Yes it was Catherine, perhaps if someone answers the second part of the question what did it involve? they can have the next turn, since the last part is rather vague.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Hehe once you have an answer would you mind posting the answers you expected as I can find almost nothing on this project and that interests me a lot especially the bonus bit about who was sacked as a result of their opposition. The only people I can find that were heavily involved were Sir Alfred Dudley Pound (who effectively won the battle of the atlantic) and Lord Cork. |

| Centurion | I think Monty knows the appropriate part of the answer and is holding off to give everyone else a chance! Better Google it before he wakes up! Last edited by perseus; January 21st, 2008 at 17:03. |
