The Greatest Military Raid.

[Charlie Farley]

Thought some might be interested.
It is some 30 minutes long, but packed with mindboggling first hand stories, including the Gunner that was wounded 16 times, but kept on firing...
A real home grown, almost crazy endeavour..
Enjoy.

Better than terrestrial TV in my opinion..

Nice one Andrew,

I remember watching that a few years ago on the beeb. Great to see it again.

The program that he did about his father-in-law & the V.C is also well worth watching.

The raid has been made into, or has heavily influenced at least two films though, 'Gift Horse' 1952 & 'Attack on the Iron Coast' 1967. There were rumours of a new film fairly recently but that seems to of gone quiet.

Regards Steve
