"The aim was to form a small group in the Voss-Bergen area that could work either as saboteurs or assist other teams from the UK, without endangering other groups in the area. Assassinations would also be undertaken in November as part of ‘Ratweek’. Dropped on 21 September, they made contact with local leaders and established a radio link with the UK. They also met the Milorg District Leader for Bergen and established a relationship. No assassinations were undertaken due to the fear of reprisals. In early 1944, Pettersen was moved to the ‘Pheasant’ area but Andersen kept transmitting after receiving new crystals."
