This afternoon there was an interesting program on the Operation Jericho raid at Amiens . Lots of film taken at the time on the raid which has been questioned since the war as to if it was really asked for by the French Resistance . A very moving account of the leaders crash and the recovery of the two crews bodies by the local villagers . Sad to think that so many prisoners died along with the crew to what might have been a red herring to distract the Germans from the actual place of landings for D Day. The French expert has found no requests were ever made as has been reported as the reason for the raid . So sad if this is true .
