Looking for help! Has anyone here heard of Operation Crupper? I am trying to catalogue the raids in the Pas de Calais region, but this one has me foxed. All I can say is that was a small scale Combined Operations raid to the beaches near Etaples on 26/27th November 1941.
The internet draws pretty much a blank on this, and I have encountered just one brief mention. This lies in Captain Howard Steer's 1980 thesis 'Raiding the Continent: The Origins of British Special Service Forces', available to read online. Information might just possibly be held in DEFE 2/2, the Combined Operations Headquarters War Diary. Otherwise... the truth is out there somewhere.
