The Accidental British Mission That Captured Germany’s Most Advanced Radar

In February 1942, a cinema projectionist from Cambridgeshire parachuted into occupied France with a screwdriver — and changed the entire course of the air war. Operation Biting was never supposed to be the most important intelligence mission of World War Two. But when Flight Sergeant Charles Cox crawled through the frozen dark toward Germany's most advanced radar system, that is exactly what it became. What a small band of paratroopers pulled off that night on the cliffs of Bruneval is one of the most audacious and least told stories of the Second World War. #WW2 #OperationBiting #SecretHistory
