    Default World War II Day by Day

    You may already be familiar with, but I find this blog to be good, short reading. The author posts a summary of WW2 events that occurred 70 years each day.

    The 70th anniversary of the British Airborne raid on Bruneval to capture a German radar will be coming up in two days.

    See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Biting

    It is a classic example of a nearly perfect raid with only a few causalities.
