Great Raids of World War II

As soon as RAF Bomber Command struck back at Nazi Germany, it began to suffer unsustainable losses. A team of British paratroopers was sent to Bruneval to seize a radar system and its precious wavelengths in order to drastically reduce the losses suffered. This documentary explores the raid with the use of veterans' accounts, archive film, and reconstructions.
