Alex:
Just found this nice little bit of info,watched a programme on tv about it.
Allied operations during World War II codename Ratweek:
A co-ordinated assassination offensive against Nazi security forces in Occupied Europe mounted in January 1944 by SOE, whose intention was to create confusion and trepidation at the same time as the Allies increased preparations for the Resistance's contribution to the Normandy Landings. Full details have never been released, but it is known that RATWEEK achieved successes against Nazi personnel and collaborators in Norway, France, Denmark, and the Netherlands.[1] In 2000 it was revealed that the operation had been supervised by Edwin Hardy Amies, at the time head of SOE's Belgian Section.
Edwin Hardy Amies later became the Queens dress maker. :)
