Battle of Saint-Raphaël - Operation Dragoon and the saviour of an American Infantry Regiment
15 August 1944, the American 36th Infantry Division lands at Camel Beach near Saint-Raphaël to secure its objectives of Operation Dragoon. Opposing them was one of the toughest, and best defended beaches of the operation. During the battle for the village on the Côte d’Azur, the 142nd Infantry Regiment would be saved from annihilation as its planned landing was changed last minute without the involvement of the Divisional commander. In this video we will take a look at this very interesting, yet forgotten battle of the Second World War.
