X-class Submarine (X-Craft) - British Secret Weapons

While often overlooked in favor of WAR WINNING WONDER WEAPON of the week for Germany or Japan, the allied powers also had secret weapons during World War Two. One such example, from the British, was the X-class midget submarine. Or the X-Craft, as they're more commonly known.

Best known for an operation that heavily damaged the battleship Tirpitz, these little submarines would prove their worth multiple times. Though that came with a heavy cost to the men who crewed them.
