During the Second World War, Operation Dunhill was conducted by the Special Air Service from 3 August 1944 as part of Operation Cobra on the Normandy Front. The five teams involved, totaling 59 British commandos, were to disrupt German activity during the break-up of American troops near Avranches.

Four of the teams were relieved within 24 hours by the rapid advance of American troops. The fifth team provided intelligence on the German movements and secured about 200 Allied airmen before joining the Allied infantry on August 24, 1944. Internal Linksedit code
