Greenlit: WWII’s Most Daring Raids, Smithsonian Channel
WWII’s Most Daring Raids (6 x 60′) – Explores some of the most dangerous and remarkable commando raids of the war. It goes into the heart of the action with elite Allied soldiers facing deadly odds to pull off missions that can change the course of the war. Through first person testimony, cinematic reconstructions, expert commentary, weapons demonstrations and cutting edge video game style graphics, every aspect of each mission is visualized and analyzed.
The premiere episode tells the story of C Company, an elite group of British paratroopers who launched a daring midnight raid to capture Hitler’s secret radar. Although British top brass initially thought German radar was inferior, in reality the Nazi’s technology was proving fatal to British bombers. When a reconnaissance Spitfire pilot spotted a Luftwaffe listening post on the French coast, Combined Operations hatched a daring plan to steal the unusual radar equipment.
