Operation Pomegranate

History records two military operations called Pomegranate, both during World War II.
  1. An attack by the British Thirtieth Corps launched on 16 July, 1944 to capture jumping-off points for Operation Goodwood.
  2. A four-man raid by the Special Air Service conducted on the Italian airfield San Egidio on the night of 12 January. 1944. Only two of the team had been able to reach the target planting bombs on seven airplanes. One of the remaining bombs detonated while being made safe, killing one raider and blinding the other.

    The injured trooper escaped from the enemy hospital and reached friendly lines. This raid was in support of the invasion at Anzio.
