SUB004 SOE Operation SWAN
Beskrivelse
Ab 17 August 1942 SOE Operation Swan
(G.Bråstad w/r operator. A. Fasting)
Forparti SOE Operasjon Carhampton.
Establish WT contact and provide arms instruction to guerrilla groups east of Kristiansand. Fasting was also to train small groups in disposing of dangerous denouncers by assassination.
Landed by the submarine 'Minerve' on the night of 20—21 August off the coast of Southern Norway.
Established W/T contact from 24 September. This operation was troubled by difficulties between Fasting and local groups, including Milorg. Fasting, who had been part of Operation Cheese was unpopular with local SOE groups and his presence caused friction. He left for Stockholm in November 1942 and Bråstad followed in February 1943. The local Milorg organization was hit badly by a series of arrests in December 1942.
