Bericht Britse Raids 1941-1942
Beste forumleden,

Ik zou graag wat meer weten over volgende Britse Raids in Frankrijk;
  • Raid op Luc-sur-Mer (28 sept. 1941) - Door de 1ste Britse Commando
  • Raid op Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer (28 sept. 1941)
  • Raid op Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer (18 jan. 1942)
  • Raid op Sainte-Honorine-des Pertes (13 sept. 1942)

Hoewel er via google niet veel te vinden is (meer gaat over Operatie Overlord) zou ik graag weten wat het doel was, hoeveel geallieerden er deelnamen, # gesneuvelden aan beide zijde,...

Deze raids waren bij mij tot nu toe onbekend tot dat ik het boek 'Ontdekkingsroutes: De stranden van de Landing' vanuit Normandiƫ meebracht.

Alvast bedankt.

Groeten
Jente

Raid op Luc-sur-Mer en Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer :

Citaat:
On the night of 27/28th September 1941 No 5 Troop of No 1 Commando undertook a raid on a couple of beaches with the aim of taking German prisoners. The target beaches were on the Pointe de Saire near St Vaast on the French coast east of Cherbourg and Courseulles north west of Caen. They sailed from Spithead on board Raiding Craft Carrier HMS Prince Leopold. In mid channel the men transferred to their ALCs to be towed by motor gunboats to their destination beaches. Lt Scaramanga's party landed as planned at St Vaast Bay and were faster on the draw with their Tommy guns when they were confronted by a German bicycle patrol. Three of the German patrol were killed and the remainder scattered.

The Commandos made their way back to their ALC with one corpse. They were fortunate to suffer no casualties when fired on by a machine gun. However, they were too late for their rendezvous with their MGB and the Prince Leopold so they made their own way back to Portsmouth arriving there at 1600 hrs.

The other party under Captain Davies had a very different experience. As they approached their designated landing area they realised they were heading for the wrong beach. Time was short so they carried on in the hope of snatching a prisoner. On landing they were immediately challenged followed by rapid machine gun fire. Davies ordered an attack on the gun position which involved climbing a 10 foot sea wall and breaking through two coils of dannert-wire. In the process of negotiating these obstacles two more machine gun positions opened fire and the Commandos had no choice but to withdraw. By the time they boarded their ALC one of their number was wounded and two were missing. Under the circumstances nothing further could be done so they returned at full speed to their waiting MGB.

The raids were not successful but they provided a welcome boost to flagging morale caused by the relative inactivity following the Lofoten raid... and valuable lessons were learned.

Heel erg bedankt, weer wat meer info om over te verdiepen.
Google schijnt dan toch niet zo goed te zoeken zoals gedacht. :)
