Operation Biting

Operation Biting was a British military raid during World War II in 1942 aimed at capturing German radar technology. British troops targeted the German military research site at Bruneval in France to seize advanced radar equipment used for enemy aircraft detection. The goal was to acquire crucial technological insights to improve Britain's defenses. The operation involved careful planning, a rapid assault via parachute and landing craft, and a successful extraction of scientists and equipment. It significantly contributed to the Allies' understanding of German radar, enhancing their ability to counter German air attacks in future battles.
