  • In February 1942 Operation Biting commenced. The raid was important because early on in the war, the Germans had an advantage in terms of radar technology. A group of inexperienced British soldiers were dropped on the French shores and had to literally rip apart a Wurzburg radar to bring it home.

    Really interesting episode of the war. It's nice to learn what John Frost was up to before Arnhem. Speaking of which, British paratroopers really haven't much luck with radio equipment, it would seem.

      Major Frost was at Arnhem as well, maybe he jinxes radios.

    Good work. I’d imagine this one raid caused a significant shift in resources to defend and guard stations all along the Atlantic Wall. Troops that could be used elsewhere.
    Listening to your commentary made me really consider how easy it would have been for the whole raid to have ended with the paras all dead or captured. Must have been terrifying for those involved.

    Browning...Frost...British paras scattered...Closing in Germans...A risky airborne operation...the radios don't work on landing....relief doesn't show up on time...Where have I heard this story before?
    Seriously, great job on this! I never heard of any cross-channel ops besides Dieppe & St. Naizaire!

    Kind of curious, why did the paratroopers throw explosives and open fire on the radar house when there were only 3 people inside?

    • @HoH
      @HoH  2 роки тому +2

      Good question. Probably because they expected more.

    • @nicolasbucourt9739
      @nicolasbucourt9739 2 роки тому +1

      There was a first shot heard in a Rodney party, so the paratroops didn't take the risk that the German destroyed the radar with explosives. They killed a German who was try to do it. For the Lone House, they expected more inside and there was only one German in the first floor who firing to the paratroops from the window. Outside the house, they were more. There was a shelter digging in the ground for the operators near the radar.

    Soon the fulfillment of Isaiah 2:4 will take place:
    "He will render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore."
    We will enjoy absolute peace, for all the tragical events will be forgotten, according to Isaiah 65:17:
    "For look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be called to mind, Nor will they come up into the heart."
    And there is more.
