Operation Details

Almoner

'Almoner' was a British unrealised operation planned by the Special Operations Executive for a naval attack on the North Sea herring fleet operating out of the ports of German-occupied Norway (March 1941).

,

The plan was to attack the fleet working between Haugesund and Egersund in an undertaking for which SOE would provide Norwegian seamen to serve as armed guards. The British Chiefs-of-Staff approved the plan in principle, but by mid-March the plan had been cancelled at the request of the Norwegian government-in-exile.
