see post #32 on this book.......like it stated if Mountbatten had known the directive on imminent capture of Nissenthall then he would have scrubbed that part of the raid and it would not have progressed he never knew that part of the agenda of the secret agenda........
Whist we are on all this secret stuff here is another couple of books from my library shelves to get your teeth into both on WWII secret agendas, Beyond Top Secret U By Ewen Montagu and Most Secret War By R.V. Jones also the way I see it having collected and read the odd book on WWI - WWII and other guff over the last 50 years there is probably allot more that will never be released to the general public its just that simple as all we can do is try and put 2 + 2 to = 5
