Operación Biting arroja luz a uno de los momentos históricos más emocionantes y menos conocidos de la segunda guerra mundial. En su nuevo libro, Max Hastings narra la historia de la Operación Biting, uno de los asaltos de comandos paracaidistas británicos más emocionantes y probablemente el más exitoso de la segunda guerra mundial. En febrero de 1942, la inteligencia de la RAF descubrió una nueva red de radar alemana en la costa de la Europa ocupada conocida como Würzburg. Esta innovación tecnológica ponía en jaque a las fuerzas aliadas, así que la inteligencia británica propuso un asalto para capturar componentes clave. La operación se llevó a cabo la noche del 27 al 28 de febrero, cuando 120 hombres de las Fuerzas Aerotransportadas fueron lanzados en paracaídas sobre Bruneval, Normandía, en medio de una tormenta de nieve. A pesar de errores de cálculo que dejaron a algunos soldados lejos de su objetivo, lograron desmontar el radar enemigo, enfrentarse a la Wehrmacht y escapar por mar en un audaz rescate hacia Portsmouth. Max Hastings relata este episodio histórico lleno de suspense con detalles previamente no documentados, a la vez que retrata los personajes...

Operation Biting

Número de Páginas: 407

In this enthralling history, internationally bestselling author Max Hastings recounts the odds-defying Operation Biting, a 1942 parachute commando raid on Northern France to steal vital components of German intelligence—one of the most thrilling British commando raids of World War II, and one of the most successful. In February 1942, RAF intelligence was baffled by a newly identified radar network on the coast of Nazi-occupied Europe, codenamed Würzburg. British intelligence proposed an assault to capture key components. Incredibly brave agents of the French Resistance risked their lives to probe the German defenses on the Normandy coast. Then a company of Airborne forces were dropped into France in the dead of night amid heavy snow. Launching their attack, the allied soldiers dismantled the German’s radar, and after three nail-biting hours and a fierce battle with Wehrmacht defenders, escaped in the nick of time using landing-craft that carried them back across the stormy seas to Portsmouth. Operation Biting retells this dramatic operation through a gallery of amazing characters from Winston Churchill, who promoted the raid, to Lord Mountbatten, who commanded Combined...

Bruneval

Autor: Paul Oldfield

Número de Páginas: 497

A comprehensive history of the World War II raid. The Bruneval Raid, launched against a German radar installation on the French coast in February 1942, was unique: it was one of the first fully combined operations put together by HQ Combined Operations under Mountbatten; for the first time a unit of the newly formed British Parachute Regiment went into action; it was the only raid carried out purely to satisfy the needs of scientific intelligence. It was highly successful, and the results achieved were out of all proportion to the resources committed. This book covers the development of radar, the search for German radar in the Second World War, the discovery of Würzburg radar at Bruneval, the planning and preparations for the audacious raid, its highly successful execution, and the aftermath. There is a wealth of colorful characters involved, from world-class scientists, outstanding reconnaissance pilots, Resistance agents, famous sailors, soldiers and airmen, an escaped German Jew, and, most importantly, a vast number of ordinary people involved doing extraordinary things to win the war against Hitler's Germany. Praise for Bruneval "Using 200 photographs and a dozen maps the...

Raid de Bruneval et de la Poterie - Cap D'Antifer

Autor: Alain Millet , Nicolas Bucourt

Número de Páginas: 0

French Text * The Bruneval attack, in meticulous detail, hour by hour Located at an isolated house on the cliffs of Bruneval, near Le Havre, the German radio site was considered to be responsible for the loss of many British bombers. It became very important that the receiver was destroyed as it gave the Germans early warning of any Allied ships and aircraft approaching the coast of Western Europe. The attack, on the night of February 27th 1942, was a major success, and demonstrated the military importance of a small and highly trained group of men and the impact they could have on a specific target when given a specific task to do. After twenty years of interviews and research, author Alain Millet details the British airborne units as well as the German radar technicians, the latter providing him with superb and exceptional photos from the battle. The work is also accompanied by documentation of the German radar systems and their positions along the Normandy coast. Along with an extensive collection of black and white images, Millet provides several color photographs.
