Operation Titanic IV, Special Air Service

from Special Forces In World War 2 Podcast · host Special Forces in World War 2 Team

Step into the shadows of deception with Operation Titanic IV, the daring first mission of the British Special Air Service in north-west Europe. Dropped behind enemy lines in the early hours of D-Day, a handful of elite operatives, armed with explosives, courage, and a few dozen sackcloth decoys called “Ruperts”, helped shape the course of history.This episode uncovers the covert mission, the dummy paratroopers that fooled the Wehrmacht, and the real-life drama that followed. From misdrops and resistance aid to survival behind enemy lines, we separate fact from fiction and even look at how Hollywood got it wrong in The Longest Day.#DDay #WWIIHistory #SpecialAirService #OperationTitanic #SAS #BehindEnemyLines #TheLongestDay #WWII #DeceptionOperations🔗 Stay connected with us:Website: https://worldwar2-sof.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ww2.sofFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WorldWar2SOFThreads: https://www.threads.net/@ww2.sofPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpecialForcesinWorldWar2Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/worldwar2sof
