Part 2 covers the intelligence preparation and paratrooper training for the Bruneval Raid, plus the puzzling German failure to defend their Würzburg radar installation. Holland is strong on how the operation was shaped by signals intelligence and photo reconnaissance — the episode is as much about the intelligence war as the airborne assault. Essential setup for Part 3.
