Framed Print of At 0015 hours on 29th July 1944, the newly formed Land Forces Adriatic
At 0015 hours on 29th July 1944, the newly formed Land Forces Adriatic made an unopposed landing in a bay some two miles south of the village of Spilje, Albania, on which a German garrison was based.
This was the Forces first major operation and the first time in this war that British troops landed and fought in Albania. They were aided by two destroyers of the Royal Navy which bombarded the enemy positions. At 0600 the Commandos went in while troops held the beach-head.
At 1200 hours, when The force withdrew, the
German garrison had been virtually wiped out
and contact made with the partisans.
The whole of the Balkan Air Force provided air cover and by bombing roads, prevented larger German garrisons north and south of Spilje joining the battle.
Photo shows: Further on Commandos are pinned down in a wood by enemy mortar fire.
The men crouch low and crawl forward.
