Norwegian soldiers at Dieppe?

[Lars Ulvestad]

Hi Stellan,

To my knowledge the only Norwegian contribution at Dieppe was the Royal Norwegian Airforce 331 and 332 sq's.

The Norwegian commandos (No 5 Troop 10 Interallied Commando) was only used at the raids against the Norwegian coast prior to Operation Infatuate (Walchern) in november 1944.

According to "Svenskar i Krig (Swedes at war) 1914 - 1945" by Lars Gyllenhaal and Lennart Westberg: Allan Mann was sent from Sweden to UK in the spring of 1944 for training with the Norwegian Independent Company No I (also known as the Linge Company - after Martin Linge) - the Norwegian contribution to SOE.
