15/9-41 SOE LETTERBOX (K.J. Aarsæther, A. Wisløff)
Beginning with Operation Letterbox in September 1941, and finishing with Operation Raven the following April, these consisted of teams usually made up of an organiser, W/T operator and possibly an arms instructor. In addition over eighty tons of arms and equipment were delivered to a range of locations along the coastline and inland in order that the preparation of local groups could begin.
To arrange weapons dumps, contact local resistance groups, and commence instruction in the mountains near Ålesund. Wisløff would try and get work at Trondheim submarine base.
Both men returned early in November after making contact with groups around Ålesund.
