Re: Churchill and Stephenson SOE mission - 1943

Hello Solan,

British MGBs were use as blockade runners to Sweden to bring back much-needed ball bearings but they did not carry out saboteurs (AFAIK).
For British submarines, you might check "The Allies" section of this site:

[uboat.net]

You can navigate and check the history of each submarine (compiled by Brian Corijn with some assistance of yours truly). There is no tool on this site to give the positions of each submarine on a given date (perhaps this will be done in the future) but my own database can help in that.

I am a bit surprised that a sabotage operation was entertained on Swedish soil in 1943. There was a big flop in the spring of 1940 when an operation to sabotage the iron ore facilities misfired. I would have thought that a repeat would have been out of the question. Are you sure of the veracity of your source? SOE or SIS operation? Agent 034 does not correspond to the numerology used by SOE or SIS agents (007 is strictly fiction).

Best regards,

Platon
