D-Day was coming, but Britain had yet another secret plan running in the shadows...

Operation Marathon.

Hidden forest camps, Lysander rescues, and MI9 agents were ready to be parachuted behind enemy lines to save hundreds of shot-down Allied airmen.

A DFS 230 assault glider. This is a 230C-1 variant which employed three nose braking rockets, a first. It was developed in 1933 by the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug (DFS/German Research Institute for Sailplane Flight) with Hans Jacobs as the head designer and the great aviatrix Flugkapitän Hanna Reitsch as head test pilot. The DFS 230 glider was the German inspiration for the British Hotspur glider and was intended for airborne assault operations
