1912232381912-1945. Top Secret D-Day BIGOT maps used by Beachmaster Commando Redevers Michael Pryor Two lithograph maps one lithograph chart; together with concertina photograph album; together with midshipman's journal; together with a naval sword; together with a set of miniature medals. Top Secret 'Bigot' D-Day maps and other personal effects from the estate of Commando Redevers Pryor Beachmaster for the 'Juno-Mike Red' sector as part of Operation Overlord and a veteran of five Second World War beach assaults! Operation 'Overlord' Operation 'Overlord' was part of a large plan designed to bring about the defeat of Germany by heavy assaults on German-occupied Europe from the United Kingdom the Mediterranean and Russia. The outline of the plan was completed in July 1943 and the particular assault on the Normandy beaches from the UK and the English Channel elaborated under the title of Operation 'Neptune' in February 1944. It involved preparatory aerial and naval bombing of German coastal positions before the historic landings of D-Day itself: the largest amphibious operation in history and a pivotal moment in the course of the Second World War which eventually resulted in the liberation of western Europe from German occupation. The coastline was divided up into sectors code-named by their main beaches 'Utah' 'Omaha' 'Gold' 'Juno' 'Sword' and 'Band' though the assault on 'Band' was cancelled at the last moment. Utah and Omaha beaches were by far the bloodiest areas of conflict largely due to their positions either side of inland passage towards the Route Nationale. The Germans ensured that the inlet between the two sectors was strongly defended with machine guns during the assault. As a result the Allied forces suffered extremely heavy casualties with thousands of U.S. British Canadian and French soldiers killed or wounded. Many of the men were shot down or scattered as soon as they reached the sand or even while still in the water meaning that by mid-morning the situation was so bad that President Eisenhower considered recalling the mission. Largely thanks to individual acts of bravery by certain soldiers however the troops were able to attack some key German strongpoints from the side or the rear and eventually overturn their defences. By the end of the day the battle had been won by the Allies at a terrible cost. The BIGOT classification Two of the maps in the collection are marked "BIGOT MOST SECRET" and "BIGOT TOP SECRET". Introduced during the Second World War BIGOT was the highest-level military security classification above Top Secret. Some sources suggest that it was an acronym for "British Invasion of German Occupied Territory;" others that it was a "backronym" for "To Gib" the code stamped on the papers of officers headed to Gibraltar in advance of the 1942 North Africa invasion. Whatever the origins of the term extraordinary efforts were made to protect BIGOT-level material. When for example a practice landing "Operation Tiger" on the Devon coast was ambushed by U-Boats Eisenhower himself ordered the recovery of the bodies of the ten known victims with BIGOT clearance. This was necessary to prove that they had not been captured alive as their capture would have compromised the invasion plans and necessitated its cancellation. Commander Redevers Michael Pryor 1893-1964 Commander Redevers Michael Pryor DSO DSC M.P. RN known as Michael Courtenay Holland-Pryor until 1924 had served as a submariner in the Great War and was a veteran of five wartime beach assaults. He first served aboard HMS 'Neptune' as midshipman between 1912 to 1914 when was promoted to acting sub-lieutenant making full lieutenant in 1916; he would be promoted to lieutenant commander in 1924. He left the service by the late 1920s. At the outbreak of the Second World War he rejoined the Royal Navy first in charge of the anti-submarine trawler Angle and then the trawler Ruby. At the end of May 1940 he saw action at the Dunkirk Evacuation for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. He was promoted to Royal Navy Beach Commando on the unit's foundation in 1942 and acted as beachmaster to the Canadians in the raid on Dieppe. He was severely wounded during the raid and taken prisoner. However he managed to escape - from the train transporting him to the P.O.W. in Germany - near the Belgian-German border. From there he made his way along the north French coast viewing the construction of the Atlantic Wall - the extensive series of defences that the Nazis constructed along the French coast and which would be one of the greatest obstacles to D-Day's success. Heading south he made it to Paris in late 1942 where he made contact with the local resistance. His plan was to continue south and make his escape through Marseille. However he was recaptured and imprisoned in Grenoble. By early 1943 with the help of Donald Caskie he had made his escape and by March he was back in England where he was made Companion of the Distinguished Service Order for his troubles. Remarkably the same year he stood successfully as the Conservative candidate in the Birmingham Aston by-election and gave a notable speech to Parliament on the subject of the war and his experiences of the Nazis which earned him praise from Churchill and a role supplying information to Naval Intelligence. In 1944 he returned to the Commandos in time for the D-day landings and was appointed Beachmaster to 'Mike Red' Sector on Juno Beach. He also led the Commandos ashore at Flushing for the assault on Walcheren in November 1944 and was duly awarded a second Distinguished Service Cross. After the War he stood down as M.P. but continued his work with the intelligence services during the beginnings of the Cold War. The collection consists of: 1. THE WAR OFFICE. Calgary.

INTER SERVICE TOPOGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT France North Coast Photographic panorama of the French northern coast from Haut Lion to La Riviere. Oxford Inter Service Topographical Department March 1944. Panorama consisting of 21 plates each plate made from three or four joined photographs annotated with numbers and place names some minor wear to joints folding into blue buckram covers with photostat typed label to upper cover lettered "J" with title and notes. Dimensions: approx. 200 by 7000mm 8.25 by 275.5 inches. This photographic coastal profile was produced by the Inter Service Topographic Department a military and civilian department based in Oxford and tasked with gathering topographical information on the continent in the lead up to D-Day. In 1942 ISTD made an appeal on BBC radio for postcards and photographs that British people might still have from pre-war holidays on the continent. In the first post 30000 letters were received and in the end over ten million photographs were sent in. As well as analysing and gathering information they also produced these profiles of the French coast which were carried by D-Day commanders to insure that their landing craft disembarked in the correct location. The note to the cover states: "the silhouette is intended as an aid to coastal recognition and is NOT intended for navigational purposes" and that "due to the overlap of photographs and divergences in scale the background is repeated in some cases". 5.
