Re: Lighthouses
Rémi,
Info from A separate Little War by Andrew D. Bird.
The introduction of attacks on lighthouses was only agreed by the Admiralty and the exiled Norwegian government in February 1945, so we have a political aspect here. Attacks were carried out from 11 to 31 March with the destruction of 15 lighthouses. These attacks did help in keeping seom ships conatained in fjords but overall the effects of these attacks however was difficult to detect as the lengthening daylight made it easier for German coastal convoys to sail along the coast and the attacks were cancelled after 31 March.
Regards,
Mark
