Holland and Murray launch a new series on Operation Biting — the February 1942 Bruneval Raid, where British paratroopers dropped into occupied France to steal components of a German Würzburg radar. At 33 minutes this first part is setup and context, but the Bruneval Raid is one of those perfect small-unit actions where intelligence, technology, and commando operations intersect. Holland knows this period cold, and the radar war angle gives it a dimension beyond standard Para heroics.
