Outside, snow lay deep across Picardy and the sky was a low grey ceiling.

Arrests had gutted the resistance networks of the Somme, and Amiens prison held the result: an internal count on 18 February listed 832 prisoners, with the German-controlled section holding well over a hundred &ldquo;politicals&rdquo; &mdash; captured r&eacute;sistants, couriers and suspected Allied agents.<\/p><p>According to accounts assembled after the war, more than two dozen prisoners were due to be shot on 19 February by order of the Amiens tribunal. Among recent arrivals was Raymond Vivant, the sous-pr&eacute;fet of Abbeville and a resistance figure who, some historians argue, knew dangerously much about Allied invasion preparations.<\/p><p>A ground assault had been considered and abandoned &mdash; the Germans had reinforced the prison with extra troops and a permanently manned machine-gun post. If the doors were to be opened, it would have to be done from the air, with a precision that in 1944 bordered on fantasy: knock down a wall without flattening the people behind it.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fKaZLR2C88E\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Eighteen Mosquitoes in a Blizzard<\/h2><p>The job went to 140 Wing of the RAF&rsquo;s 2nd Tactical Air Force: six Mosquitoes each from No. 487 Squadron RNZAF, No. 464 Squadron RAAF and No. 21 Squadron RAF &mdash; New Zealanders, Australians and British flying the fastest wooden aeroplane in the world. Leading them was Group Captain Percy Charles Pickard, 28 years old, six foot three, three times decorated with the DSO, famous to the British public as the pilot of &ldquo;F for Freddie&rdquo; in the film <em>Target for Tonight<\/em>.<\/p><p>The crews learned their target only at the 8 a.m. briefing on the day, in a camp sealed off for security, with a plaster model of the prison on the table. The plan was surgical: 487 Squadron would open the outer walls, 464 Squadron would strike the ends of the main building where the guards ate their lunch, and 21 Squadron would wait in reserve &mdash; with the grim task of bombing the prison flat if the raid failed, on the logic that the prisoners preferred death to what the Gestapo offered.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;We heard the details of this mission with considerable emotion&hellip;. After four years of war just doing everything possible to destroy life, here we were going to use our skill to save it. It was a grand feeling and every pilot left the briefing room prepared to fly into the walls rather than fail to breach them&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Wing Commander Irving &ldquo;Black&rdquo; Smith<\/strong> &mdash; commanding officer, No. 487 Squadron RNZAF<\/div><\/div>\n<p>The weather that morning was atrocious &mdash; snow squalls, low cloud, a rendezvous with the Typhoon escort that largely failed. Four Mosquitoes lost the formation in the murk and turned back. Pilot Officer Maxwell Sparks of 487 Squadron remembered climbing out through <em>&ldquo;that grey soupy mist and snow and rain beating against the Perspex window&rdquo;<\/em> &mdash; and then, two miles off the French coast, the sky suddenly turning beautifully clear.<\/p><p>Fourteen bombers pressed on across Picardy at treetop height, so low that pilots banked to keep their wingtips out of the poplars.<\/p><h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Noon Over the Walls<\/h2><p>The run-in followed the long, straight Albert&ndash;Amiens road, white with snow. One 487 Squadron pilot recalled it vividly: <em>&ldquo;The poplars suddenly petered out, and there, a mile ahead, was the gaol. It looked just like the model, and within a few seconds we were almost on top of it.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><p>At 12:01 the first bombs &mdash; 500-pounders fuzed with an eleven-second delay so the low-flying attackers could escape their own blast &mdash; went into the eastern and northern walls. Minutes later, 464 Squadron&rsquo;s Mosquitoes came through the smoke at fifty feet and put their bombs into the wall again and into the main building, where a direct hit on the guards&rsquo; quarters killed or stunned many of the men who would have manned the machine guns.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=356092970  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/operation-jericho-amiens-prison-during-raid-fpu-mosquito.jpg\" alt=\"Amiens prison photographed during Operation Jericho from the accompanying film unit Mosquito\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">The prison photographed during the attack from the RAF Film Production Unit Mosquito &mdash; an attacking Mosquito with bomb doors open is visible at top left.

When he saw prisoners running, he called off 21 Squadron&rsquo;s reserve force &mdash; the signal, in the dry humour of the wing, was &ldquo;Red, Daddy, Red&rdquo;.<\/p><p>A photo-reconnaissance Mosquito of the RAF Film Production Unit made three runs over the burning prison, its camera turning. The footage &mdash; snow, smoke, tiny running figures &mdash; would appear in newsreels within months, and remains some of the most extraordinary film of the air war.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9qUuNfl3jEk\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The Price<\/h2><p>Pickard lingered too long. As he circled to confirm the escape, a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 of JG 26 flown by Feldwebel Wilhelm Mayer caught the lone Mosquito and shot its tail off. The aircraft went in near Saint-Gratien, a few kilometres north of Amiens. Pickard and his navigator, Flight Lieutenant John Alan &ldquo;Bill&rdquo; Broadley &mdash; his inseparable crewmate through more than a hundred operations together &mdash; were killed instantly. They are buried side by side in Amiens.<\/p><p>Flak claimed a second Mosquito, whose pilot, Squadron Leader Ian McRitchie, survived badly wounded as a prisoner while his navigator, Flight Lieutenant Richard Sampson, died. Two escorting Typhoons were also lost. The RAF had bought the breach in the walls with four airmen&rsquo;s lives and two more taken prisoner.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1276951650  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/percy-pickard-bill-broadley-mosquito-f-freddie.jpg\" alt=\"Group Captain Percy Pickard and Flight Lieutenant Bill Broadley in front of their Mosquito F for Freddie\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Pickard and Broadley before their Mosquito &ldquo;F for Freddie&rdquo;, February 1944.

Prisoners poured out through the breaches into the snow, and the people of Amiens &mdash; farmers, housewives, passers-by with bicycles &mdash; hid them, dressed them, moved them along.<\/p><p>The numbers have never fully agreed with each other. Later research settled on roughly 255 to 258 escapees of the 832 inside; about two-thirds were recaptured in the days that followed. Around 100 prisoners died in the bombing and the machine-gun fire that followed &mdash; the resistance&rsquo;s own contemporary signal spoke of 37 killed, later studies of as many as 102, alongside some 50 German dead.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;I thank you in the name of our comrades for the bombardment of the gaol. We were not able to save all. Thanks to the admirable precision of the attack the first bomb blew in nearly all the doors and 150 prisoners escaped with the help of the civilian population.

Escaped r&eacute;sistants went on to expose more than sixty Gestapo agents and informers in the region. Ordinary prisoners who evaded recapture were, in a very French arrangement, quietly left alone by the local police.<\/p><p>And yet the arithmetic remains hard to look at: a raid flown to save the condemned killed roughly a hundred of the people it came for. Nobody felt that weight more than the crews themselves, who had been told the prisoners would rather die under RAF bombs than against a Gestapo wall.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=164187520  decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/amiens-prison-breached-walls-after-jericho-raid.jpg\" alt=\"Reconnaissance photo of Amiens prison showing breached perimeter wall after Operation Jericho\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">A photo-reconnaissance image taken shortly after the raid: the perimeter wall breached, the main building scarred, the ground white with the same snow the escapees ran through. Royal Air Force photo, via Wikimedia Commons (public domain)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Who Asked for It?<\/h2><p>For decades the raid was told as a simple story: the Resistance begged London to break open the prison, and the RAF answered. The reality is stranger. A post-war RAF investigation found that resistance leaders in the region apparently knew nothing of the raid until the RAF itself asked for a description of the prison. Maurice Buckmaster, head of SOE&rsquo;s French section, denied ever requesting it &mdash; and said he did not know who had.<\/p><p>Files around the operation remained closed for decades, and historians have offered competing readings: a genuine rescue sought through intelligence channels &mdash; possibly connected to the captured sous-pr&eacute;fet Vivant and what he knew &mdash; or, as a 2011 BBC documentary speculated, a deception designed to draw German attention toward the Pas-de-Calais in the run-up to D-Day. None of these theories has been proven. What is certain is what the crews were told, and what they did.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_GI2AxVJbLg\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>At Amiens today a plaque on the prison honours the dead of 18 February 1944 &mdash; the prisoners and the airmen together. Pickard and Broadley lie a short drive away. The walls they broke were rebuilt long ago; the argument about why they fell has never quite ended, and perhaps that is fitting for an operation named after a miracle.<\/p><p><em>Sources: Wikipedia; Imperial War Museums; The People&rsquo;s Mosquito; Warfare History Network<\/em><\/p><!-- mf-faq -->\n\n<div class=\"mf-faq-block\"><style>.mf-faq-block{margin:34px 0}.mf-faq-item:not([open]) .mf-faq-answer{display:none !important}.mf-faq-block h2.mf-faq-h{padding-top:22px;margin-bottom:14px}.mf-faq-item{border:1px solid #e2e8f5;border-radius:8px;margin:0 0 10px;background:#fff}.mf-faq-item summary{list-style:none;cursor:pointer;padding:15px 50px 15px 18px;font-weight:600;color:#1a1a1a;position:relative;line-height:1.45;user-select:none}.mf-faq-item summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mf-faq-item summary::after{content:\"+\";position:absolute;right:18px;top:50%;transform:translateY(-50%);font-size:1.5em;font-weight:400;color:#5C91FF;line-height:1}.mf-faq-item[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mf-faq-item[open] summary{border-bottom:1px solid #eef1f8}.mf-faq-item summary:hover{background:#f5f8ff}.mf-faq-answer{padding:14px 18px;color:#333;line-height:1.6}.mf-faq-answer p{margin:0}.mf-faq-answer a{color:#5C91FF}<\/style><h2 class=\"mf-faq-h\">Related Questions<\/h2><details class=\"mf-faq-item\"><summary>What was Operation Jericho?<\/summary><div class=\"mf-faq-answer\"><p>Operation Jericho was a low-level RAF precision bombing raid on 18 February 1944 against Amiens prison in occupied France.
