  • Abstract
    The Bruneval Raid (Operation BITING), which took place on the night of 27/28 February 1942, was a British WW2 operation by the newly formed Parachute Regiment against a German radar station on the north coast of France. The story has been told in many places: for example in R.V. Jones´s book Most Secret War as well as in several other books and websites.
