Overview:
In October of 1941, Lord Louis Mountbatten took command of the Special Service Brigade. In accordance with a directive from Churchill, Mountbatten was to begin a “programme of raids in ever increasing intensity”. The first, a raid on the Lofoten Islands would be diversionary, covering the primary target of Vaagso Island. Arriving offshore, in the grey twilight of the scandinavian winter, the Commandos were divided into five groups for the assault. Group 1 would land south of Vaagso, moving inland to guard the southern flank of the direct seaborne assault of Group 2. At 0850 hours, the Commandos of Group 2 began their run-in to shore under a protective naval bombardment.Attacker: British (2, 3, and 6 Commandos)
Defender: German (Infanterie Division 181/Reinforcements)
