I watched a pretty good documentary on this same subject a while ago. You've certainly got to give it to the Poms for guts and determination, whoever said 'you can't make a silk purse from a sows ear' was wrong on this occasion. Not the first time the Poms have pulled one out of the hat, the Dunkirk evacuation and the Campbeltown raid to name a couple.
It may not have achieved much tactically but was a strategic masterstroke.
