Operation Jedburgh

Operation Jedburgh was a clandestine World War II mission where teams of Allied soldiers, called Jedburghs, were parachuted into occupied France and Belgium. Their goal was to support local resistance fighters, gather intelligence, sabotage German operations, and prepare for larger Allied invasions. These teams worked behind enemy lines, often coordinating with local groups to disrupt German supply routes and communications, helping to weaken their control and boost the success of the Allied advance into occupied Europe. Operation Jedburgh played a crucial role in the overall Allied strategy to liberate occupied territories.
