Holdina Operation

Holdin's operation is one of the most famous operations in the history of special forces. It is named after its creator, British military officer S.A. Holdina. The operation was carried out during World War II and is considered one of the most successful special forces operations in occupied Europe.

The goal of Holdina's operation was to destroy a factory producing important components for the German V-2 missiles. The factory was located in a deep underground shelter, protected from bombing. British commandos were to infiltrate the shelter, destroy the factory and escape back.

Holdina's operation was organized and carried out in 1943. To carry it out, only the best special forces soldiers were selected, who underwent rigorous selection and training. They were trained in specialized skills such as infiltrating secure sites, using explosives and weapons, and surviving difficult conditions.

Led by S.A. Holdin, a group of special forces entered the shelter, cutting through the walls with thick steel cables and blowing up locks and doors. They were able to get past the guards unnoticed and find the factory. The special forces planted explosives at important production sites and left the shelter without attracting attention.

A few hours after they left, the factory was completely destroyed, and Holdin and his team were able to return to England without loss.

Holdin's operation became an example for other special forces operations and showed that even the most protected objects can be destroyed with the help of well-trained and prepared fighters. She also became an example for many films and books dedicated to special forces and their operations.
