According to this Norwegian wiki page, they were actually shot in May 1944, on the 25th (Hans Skjærvø) and on the 26th (Thore Eugen Sentzen).
https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trandu...n#25._mai_1944

For some reason, they are not listed in the website www.specialforcesroh.com, that has many names of SIS/SOE/SAS agents among other "special units" (like commandoes and paratroops).

A memorial commemorates Sentzen: https://digitaltmuseum.no/011022717576/bauta

More details here: https://mia.no/ullensaker/grav-8
Both men left Norway during the Lofoten raid in March 1941 to join the Allied side. Sentzen is said to have sailed with a fishing boat to Norway in 1942 to establish a radio station but it was bombed.

Fair point Brian, apologies. I was sounding off about the plethora of stories of WW2/Special Forces derring-do that didn't make sense and was confused by the reference to the SAS being involved. Neither is an adequate excuse.
