IS THIS THE MOST DARING RAID OF WW2? | The Parachute Regiment | Normandy WW2

On the morning of June 6, 1944, the greatest amphibious fleet in history bore in toward the coast of Normandy. In spite of the enormous power of the aviation and naval assets supporting the landing, in spite of the strength of the Allied divisions poised to come ashore, the success or failure of Operation Overlord depended heavily on several much smaller actions. Among these was the raid on the Merville Battery.
The Merville Battery is a formidable German Army fortification which was located on the Eastern flank of the Allied landings on 6 June 1944. Bombed several times without success, it was neutralised by the 9th Battalion of the British Parachute Regiment after an assault of unbelievable ferocity.
