To: 3 Troop, 2 SAS Transferred to 2 SAS with Capt. Price on orders from SOE 3 wks ago. Haven't seen INTENTION any others from 6th AB aside from him. The men here are as competent as any I've ever met, especially Sgt. Waters. Will have to do my best to keep up.

1. Objectives

a) To neutralize anti-aircraft defenses for pending renewal of RAF bombing missions against the Eder Dam in Germany.
b) To destroy electrical generators in the power station at the foot of the dam, thereby slowing production at German manufacturing plants throughout the Ruhr valley region.
INFORMATION

2. Enemy

a) Static defenses in area of operations.
Garrison at the Eder Dam consists of at least 40 men, armed with assorted small arms (MP40, Kar98k) and at least three light anti-air guns, possibly 20mm or 88mm.
b) State of alertness
Dambusters, No. 617 Sqn.
Last May's "Operation Chastise" ruptured the dam but the Germans have since restored it and strengthened the AA defenses. Once the garrison forces are alerted, nearby towns at 025664, 022637 and 025619 will undoubtedly dispatch reinforcements in platoon to company strength.
METHOD

3. Outline

a) Infiltration to be affected by parachute. DZ approx. one day overland from the dam, as radar an AA coverage have increased in the immediate vicinity.
b) Exfiltrate by any means at your disposal.
