Belgian SAS Operations

Operation Trueform

On the 16th August 1944 80 soldiers from the Belgian SAS parachuted behind the German lines at Falaise. Their mission was to harass German units attempting to cross the Seine in retreat. They were also tasked with identifying the direction the enemy forces were retreating in and to radio back to England the direction.

Operation Benson

This was a very small operation in which a small team of Belgians parachuted near Beauvais. After they dropped they found documents showing the location of German units deployed along the Somme.

Belgium : Home

A team of Belgian SAS dropped behind military lines into Belgium to await the arrival of fresh troops. They were the first Allied troops to step into Belgium since the country was invaded in 1940.

Germany : Miss-drop

A group of Belgian SAS were accidentally parachuted into Germany while on their way to accomplish a mission. After realising where they were they marched from Germany back over the Belgian Border and accomplished their objectives.

(when I recieve more operations that involved the Belgian SAS I will post them)
