These two operations are discussed in the book "The Lost Oasis" by Saul Kelly. These were operations that involved Count Almasy, KG200, the German Abwehr, etc.

Operation Dora was primarily an intelligence operation against British air supply routes from Freetown and Monrovia to Fort Lamy and on to Cairo. The Germans wanted to gather intelligence on the supply routes and if possible disrupt them.


Operation Bunny Hop was a more involved operation that seemed to have two purposes. One was the setting up weather reporting operations in the deserts and the second purpose was to recruit Arabs for sabotage and propaganda activities behind Allied lines.

The book goes into some detail on how these operations unfolded and ultimately failed.
