D-Day: Secret South England Stories

Available for over a year

Just a few hours before allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy a super secret mission was launched, under the cover of darkness, from an old bit of farmland in North Dorset. The daring raid into Europe in the middle of the night by a small group of British troops paved the way for the Allied invasion of Europe.
