This one was a bit harder tough. I was kind of going over all operations in the pacific because of the first one. But all the beaches didn't look like this. os i started to wonder what this could be. then i rememberd the Bruneval raid. Or op Biting if i'm not mistaken. So this is it. we are looking at the location of the bruneval radar (top centre) and the location where jhon frost and his men left the battle zone (lower left corner)

Cheers Buck

And...... Here is Buck again!!!
Ok, all the people know that you always know the answer, but could you wait a little more to give a chance to everybody?
I´ll try to do harder next time.

Operation Biting
Frost distinguished himself in Operation Biting, a raid to dismantle and steal the radar dish or components of the German Würzburg radar at Bruneval. The raid was the second time the fledgling British parachute regiment was called on. C Company under the then Major Frost was given the task and on 27 February 1942 120 men landed, meeting stiff opposition but succeeded in stealing the component as well as capturing a German expert on the radar. The operation lost three men killed and seven badly wounded. Prime Minister Winston Churchill applauded the raid and guaranteed further wartime operations for the paras.[2] Frost was awarded the Military Cross.[3]
