Interesting posts Jet! I had never heard of the Belgian SAS operations! Keep them coming.

A few "requests": There were Dutch commandos used in Market Garden. Quite a few things are known about that. At home I have a link (Dutch language though from the official Dutch Commando site) with stories about them.

There were also the "Jedburgh" teams.

Also about 300 French para-commando's jumped into the province of Drenthe, Holland in 1945, supported by a X-number of SAS I believe. The operation in itself was a failure, but little is known about it. A Dutch Lt.-Col. wrote a book about that but that is very hard to get.
