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 27th February 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 colour
photographs. French language
