rdfs:comment	Operation Amherst was a Free French and British SAS attack designed to capture intact Dutch canals, bridges and airfields during World War II. It was led by Brigadier Mike Calvert of Chindit fame. (en) L’opération Amherst désigne une opération planifiée par le général de brigade britannique Mike Calvert, exécutée par 700 Special Air Service français, des 3e et 4e régiments de la brigade SAS, en avril 1945, avec pour objectif de désorganiser l'armée allemande occupant le nord des Pays-Bas et de capturer intacts certains points stratégiques. (fr) Operazione Amherst (in inglese Operation Amherst) fu il nome in codice di un attacco aviotrasportato sotto comando britannico, eseguito da 700 paracadutisti SAS francesi avvenuto nei Paesi Bassi durante la seconda guerra mondiale; esso fu pianificato allo scopo di prendere possesso dei canali, dei ponti e delle basi aeree con l'obiettivo di catturarle intatte, evitando il pericolo di sabotaggio. (it) Operatie Amherst was de codenaam van de geallieerden voor een speciale commando-actie in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De actie op 7 en 8 april 1945 was ter voorbereiding van de bevrijding van de stad Groningen door troepen van het 1e Canadese leger. Franse parachutisten vormden een onderdeel van de SAS, de Britse, militaire Special Air Service. Zij moesten bij de Operatie Amherst verkeersknooppunten en bruggen in Drenthe en Groningen veilig stellen. Dit moest mogelijk maken dat Canadese troepen snel naar de stad Groningen door konden trekken. (nl)
