We are delighted to welcome back best selling author Damien Lewis to talk about the planning for Operation Biting. http://damienlewis.com/   / damienlewisauthor  

In the winter of 1941, as Britain faced defeat on all fronts, an RAF reconnaissance pilot photographed an alien-looking object on the French coast near Le Havre. The mysterious device--a "Wurzburg Dish"--appeared to be a new form of radar technology: ultra-compact, highly precise, and pointed directly across the English Channel. Britain's experts found it hard to believe the Germans had mastered such groundbreaking technology. But one young technician thought it not only possible, he convinced Winston Churchill that the dish posed a unique and deadly threat to Allied forces, one that required desperate measures--and drastic action.

Damien will talk about the connection to Operation Colossus which we discussed recently on WW2TV:    • Operation Colossus - The British Airborne ...

The Colonel Remy Association
Association for the Defence and the Memory of Colonel Rémy. The Association supports the work of Colonel Rémy, so that it does not disappear, and ensuring that it is preserved for posterity. The Association pays homage to so much incredible work and heroism, so many small defeats and great victories, so many joys, sorrows, sacrifices and suffering of all those who were members of the Brotherhood Networks (Confrérie Notre-Dame), which did so much for the cause of the Resistance in World War Two. Also known as the ‘Dame-Castille’ and ‘Centurie’ networks, it included those who made up the ‘Sussex’ teams, and this Franco-British unit served with great courage and honour in the war. Colonel Rémy was their leader, General De Gaulle their inspiration, France their supreme goal and raison d’être.
