Airborne and Commando raid on a German 88 battery

Having suffered a defeat by loosing a battery of artillery, the British high command have devised a counter attack by a Commando force comprised of a fast motorised force made up of jeeps, armoured cars, potentially half-tracks.
This is a way to take stock of the amount of jeeps, armoured cars and half tracks.

The German defenders are made up of an ad hoc unit of the Luftwaffen Field Division remenents of the 16th Feld Division. The area is an 88mm battery which is being used in the anti-aircraft role with some supporting anti-tank guns as additional defense.

The Commonwealth force is comprised of an Airborne Brigade, a Commando Brigade, with jeeps, trucks and half tracks from various units.

the early morning light shows the anti-aircraft guns which are the objectives of the British raiding force

the Royal Marines begin their attack but a confusion of orders kept the from rushing forward

as the morning mist lifted, the 88mm guns were taken out by the airborne, but the commandos lost their momentum when halted by a quad 20mm gun firing in the ground support.

the Airborne were able to take out two guns and their ammunition. But with the Luftwaffen regrouping and knocking out the transports and fire support Jeeps, the raid fails as half of the Anti-aircraft guns were saved by the trucks of the Luftwaffen. And one good Whebelwind.
