Tentative of History of In/Exfiltrations into/from France during WWII from 1941 to 1945(Parachutes, Plane & Sea Landings)

Forewords

This tentative of history of civilians and military agents (BCRA, Commandos, JEDBURGHS, OSS, SAS, SIS, SOE,SUSSEX/OSSEX, SUSSEX/BRISSEX & PROUST) infiltrated or exfiltrated during the WWII into France, by parachute, byplane landings and/or by sea landings.

This document, which needs to be completed and corrected, has been prepared using the information available on thefollowing internet websites:

1. The Order of the Liberation website:

http://www.ordredelaliberation.fr/english/contenido1.php

The Order of the Liberation is France's second national Order after the Legion of Honor, and was instituted byGeneral De Gaulle, Leader of the "Franais Libres" - the Free French movement - with Edict No. 7, signed inBrazzaville on November 16th, 1940.

2. The table updated from the file History of military operational parachute available on this website address:

3. History of Carpetbaggers (USAAF) available on Thomas Ensmingers website addresses:

http://www.801492.org/index.html

The USAAF Carpetbagger's mission was that of delivering supplies and agents to resistance groups in the enemyoccupied Western European nations. Created in late 1943, their operations first flew from Tempsford, then Alconburyand finally out of Station 179, Harrington. Flying at first as two squadrons, they were given Provisional status as aBombardment Group (801st) in late March 1944 just before they moved to Harrington. In May of 1944 two moresquadrons were added to the group. In August of 1944, the group was redesignated as a formal group (492nd).

6. History of Jedburghs available on following website addresses:

http://home.comcast.net/~801492bg.historian/Agents/TeamInsertions/Jedburgh%20Teams.htm

http://jedburghs.ifrance.com/

http://web.archive.org/web/20060421211454/freespace.virgin.net/arthur.brown2/index.htm

The name JEDBURGH comes from a small town of Scotland. JEDBURGH was a special forces operation carried outby the Allied during WWII, which aimed to coordinate the action of the Resistance with the general plans of theSupreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces (SHAEF) and to provide weapons and training to the Resistance,in France, in Belgium and in the Netherlands, in order to prevent the German to reinforce the Normandy coasts at thetime of D-Day. Men of the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), of the American Office of Strategic Services(OSS), and of Free French Bureau Central de Renseignements and d Action (BCRA) as well as soldiers of thevarious armies of the countries concerned (France, Belgium, Netherlands) were parachuted in uniform (Some teamswere dropped in civilian clothes such as Arnold Team), by teams of three, behind the German lines, to lead actions ofsabotage and guerrilla against the Germans, and to coordinate actions of the Resistance.

About 100 Jedburgh teams were dropped into France, Belgium and Holland between June and December 1944.

The Jedburgh Teams had in Europe:- 14 members killed in action.- 5 members dead from injuries, shot when prisoners or by accident.- 3 members killed due to bad dropping or parachute failure.- 11 members severely injured during fighting.- 4 members injured due to bad dropping.- 4 prisoners who escaped.

The volume 4 Secret Intelligence Branch - PROUST of roll n4 of History of the London Office of the OSS

ref: M-1623 of NARA gave some information concerning the Plan PROUST, but unfortunately the agents reports aremissing (pages 51 to 188).

The PROUST missions were: Driver/Ascain, Monkey, Girafe, Midiron (sub-missions: Norman, Nol, Potage, Noir,Cong, Poil, Jument and Marchal), Jambon, Mirnaloy, Voyageur, Bebe, Chat, Image, Marquise and Marcel.

The "Carpetbaggers" dropped forty-six PROUST Project intelligence agents into France for SI/London.

8. F-Section of SOE available on website address:

http://soe_french.tripod.com/

Special Operations Executive (SOE): The Special Operations Executive (SOE), sometimes referred to as "theBaker Street Irregulars" after Sherlock Holmes's fictional group of spies, was a World War II organization. It wasinitiated by Winston Churchill and Hugh Dalton in July 1940, to conduct warfare by means other than direct militaryengagement.

The organisation was formed out of three existing secret departments:o Section D, a sub-section of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS, aka MI6) commanded by Major

Lawrence Grand;o A department of the War Office known as MI R headed by Major J. C. Holland;o Department EH, the propaganda organisation called (from Electra House, its headquarters), run by Sir

Campbell Stuart. SOE directly employed or controlled just over 13,000 people. It is estimated that,worldwide, SOE supported or supplied about a million operatives.

SOE's operations in France were directed by six London-based country sections:o AMF Section was established in Algiers during the latter part of 1942 to operate into Southern France.o DF Section was responsible for establishing escape routes.o EU/P which dealt with the Polish community in Franceo F Section was under British control (Colonel Maurice Buckmaster). In France, there were 95 circuits

Buck .o RF Section was linked to General De Gaulle's Free French government in exile. Most native French
