Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham’s signal to his fleet is“Stick it out. Navy must not let Army down. But the ships, with no air cover, have to run the gauntlet of 2,000 German bombers; and can only lick their wounds under cover of darkness.

There they are ordered to evacuate a body of troops, plus an Australian field hospital and thirty nurses, from right under the Germans’ noses.
