Talk:Operation Biting

message: Looks like it's just going to be a continuous swapping of the text at the current rate. May I suggest Phil that the open-source text that you wish to include be represented differently?  An external link and the point-form of the text itself included in the article?  Having large chunks of open-source really doesn't seem to be a convention that's popular around here.

thread_title: Revert war

message: hey this operation is based on a map for a PC game called enemy territory. its one of the six maps that come with the game. the allies have to steal 2 radar parts from 2 different radar trailers. in fact the radar trailers in the picture on the wikipedia site for wurzburg radar, are the same exact ones used in the game. enemy territory is one of the most popular first person shooters out there. its like quake3, unreal tournament, battlefield 2, etc its a 3-d online multiplayer first person shooter. heres some sources/references:
game:

actual thing:

heres some pictures of the radar trailers in game that i took and uploaded, its neat to see it in game, then look at the real thing in a picture. i had no idea that this map was based on a real operation in world war two.

oh yea i forgot, when the allies steal the parts, the radar dish folds exactly like in the picture of the real thing on the wikipedia wurzburg radar site. the resemblence is almost as if that same thing is in game. its exactly correct in its detail.
it would be a neat addition to this site —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.61.229.242 (talk) 15:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: popular culture

message: Hi folks, thought I'd raise this here before editing the infobox.  Currently it states that British casulaties were 3 dead, 7 wounded, 2 missing.  I don't have the benefit of Otway's book, but both Millar and Frost (A drop too many) list only 2 killed, 6 missing (Frost also states 6 wounded, presumably amongst the survivors and not the missing).  All of the missing were subsequently captured, and can therefore be accounted for.  At least 1 was wounded too.  It's a bit harder with the Germans, who listed 5 missing in their after action report.  2 of these were captured and so can be accounted for, but lord knows where the other 3 went (it always seems hard to account for axis losses doesn't it).  Does anyone have any more information on German losses?  I think at least the British casulaties should be changed.  How about:
:British - Two killed, six wounded, six captured.  German - Five killed, two wounded, two captured, three missing (unless they can be accounted for).
Any thoughts?  Regards Ranger Steve (talk) 12:55, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The change proposed above would presumably be sourced to Millar and Frost, then? If so, I don't see any problems; Otway was writing in 1951 after all. Skinny87 (talk) 13:40, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep.  I'll make the change and add the references then Ranger Steve (talk) 13:47, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've edited the strength figures too.  Frost and Millar both say 120 and provide breakdowns.  Ranger Steve (talk) 20:46, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Casualties 

message: In the section marked `Prelude`, at the end of the 3rd paragraph is this sentence 
`Garrard had asked R. V. Jones to get Cox an Army uniform and number for the raid, as if they were captured and Cox was the only one in Air Force uniform he would be the object of special attention, but the War Office were obdurate`
Who is Garrard? He isn`t referenced anywhere else in this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.20.10.84 (talk) 12:52, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a good question.  Derek Garrard was a boffin working with Jones.  The sentence might need tweaking or Garrard's name being more thoroughly explained.  Both Cox and Vernon were given special instructions on not to talk to the enemy and concocted special alibis in the event of their capture (according to Millar) so I don't doubt it's true. Ranger Steve (talk) 10:43, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey I just checked up on this discussion and nothing was done about the topic of Garrard? Should Garrard be referenced elsewhere in the article? Or should that sentence be reworked.Meatsgains (talk) 03:07, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  '''Garrard?''' 

message: That the German installations (Freya and Würzburg) were distant from La Poterie - Cap d'Antifer centre[46], the War Department located the radar at Bruneval. But the drop zone, "Rectangle" farm and the Würzburg were at La Poterie - Cap d'Antifer[47]. Bruneval begins at "Redoubt" pillbox at the top of the Northern cliff. Paratroops dropped on La Poterie - Cap d'Antifer<ref?"Memorial sign for the Bruneval Raid at La Poterie Cap d'Antifer on the City Hall wall.".</ref>, caught the radar in the same village and evacuated to the Bruneval beach where the Royal Navy took them. Even today, Operation Biting is known to happened only at Bruneval. La Poterie - Cap d'Antifer is forgotten.
I'm not sure what your trying to say, can you try and explain. Jim Sweeney (talk) 20:54, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Operation Biting took place at Bruneval but the aftermath section talks about other radars at other locations. I think that the person who added that paragraph might have mis-read or misunderstood that section -- SteveCrook (talk) 04:55, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
