Operation AflameFor World War II military fire weapons, see M1 flamethrower and M2 flamethrower. For other fire weapons, see Flamethrower (disambiguation).
Operation Aflame was a planned combined operations raid by No. 12 Commando, part of the British army, against Berck in October 1942. The plan was to have been based on a naval demonstration off the coast, and to have a drop of dummy paratroops and the landing of No. 12 Commando to persuade the Germans that a major landing was about to be made, thereby forcing a major German air response. Aflame was supposed to be part of the larger strategic operation, Operation Overthrow.[1][2][3] BackgroundOperation PlanPreparationsFootnotes
