Talk:Operation Frankton

message: The article is written to say that all men are killed, see 'Mission', last line > "All four are believed to have been shot by firing squad on or around 23 March 1943". Yet Corporal Bill Sparks passed away in 2002. Can I suggest that someone with more khowlege on this clean up who survived and who was killed and how?

thread_title:  Assessment - items needed 

message: Why is this whole article about the '07 reenactment? Is it even usable? It is take verbatim from someone's story.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.86.153 (talk) 14:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Commemorative Journey? 

message: Under Operation Frankton#Bordeaux, reference is made to "the fast patrol boat Sperrbrecher", but the Sperrbrecher linked there isn't a fast patrol boat.  Other sources suggest it was Sperrbrecher 14, ex Bockenheim, ex Norwegian. Is there any evidence that it was an FPB? - David Biddulph (talk) 16:15, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Dunno, but the Sperrbrecher article comments that "Later in the war the Sperrbrecher type ships were used to escort U-boats in and out of harbor." - possibly they were in the area for those duties?  I'm also tempted, under wp:engvar to change "harbor" to harbour", but that's a side issue.   a_man_alone (talk) 17:14, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Targets 

message: As it is a primary source, I have added this reference under 'Further Reading'.  I believe it is the only first-hand account and thus should be mentioned in the article.  It is reasonable, I think, to accept as correct all that Sparks says of his own involvement, but to recognise that he may have had no more than general knowledge of the detailed actions and fates of his colleagues.
