Operation Jedburgh
Operation Jedburgh was a clandestine operation during World War II in which three-man teams of Allied operatives of the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the Free French Bureau central de renseignements et d'action ("Central Bureau of Intelligence and Operations") and the Dutch and Belgian armies in exile were dropped by parachute into Occupied France, the Netherlands and Belgium. The objective of the Jedburgh teams was to assist Allied military forces who invaded France on 6 June 1944 with sabotage and guerrilla warfare, and leading local resistance forces in actions against the Germans.
