Default Aquatint Raid

Hello, I've posted a similar request on the "Raids" thread, but I'm adding it here too: I'd like to commence some research on the Aquatint raid of Dec '42 near St Laurent. A family member of one of the 3 killed on the beach had heard from locals that instead, one of the raiders had been captured and tortured to death. She'd just like to know which it was, for obvious reasons. If anyone has knowledge of where I could find the official report, or even a German propaganda filmstrip showing 3 dead raiders on the beach, it would be of enormous help. (Or any other ideas of where I could look) Thank you

If anyone else, like me, had never heard of the raid, this page is enlightening from the excellent 'combined ops' site:

Sorry I can't help.

Good luck (and welcome),
Adam.
