Can someone briefly explain for those of us who are electronically challenged what the purpose of diodes in series is (D1 and D2)?

Googling on "diodes in series", I found some discussion about how you can do this if you need a reverse breakdown voltage that is higher than that of one diode, but aren't D1 and D2 always forward biased in this circuit?
