EDITORS COMMENTS
In a Combined Operation on the night 27th and 28th February 1942, joint forces of the Royal Navy, the Army, and the Royal Air Force embarked on a daring mission to attack and destroy an important German radio location post at Bruneval on the North Coast of France. This print captures a pivotal moment during the final training stages before this audacious raid took place. Paratroops from an airborne division can be seen standing resolute on the beach, their new steel helmets gleaming in anticipation. These brave soldiers were dropped by bombers of the RAF as part of their strategic assault. As they prepared for their mission, landing craft loomed in the background, ready to provide support when needed. This operation, codenamed 'Operation Biting', was not only crucial for disrupting enemy communication but also served as a testament to inter-service cooperation between different branches of British armed forces. The success of this raid showcased Britain's military prowess and determination during World War II. The significance of this photograph lies in its depiction of soldiers honing their skills and preparing mentally for what lay ahead - risking everything for victory against tyranny. It serves as a poignant reminder of those who fought valiantly in defense of freedom during one of history's darkest periods.
