Operation Checkmate was the codename for a raid on shipping at Haugesund, Norway in April 1943 during the Second World War by British Commandos. The raiding party consisted of seven men of No. 14 (Arctic) Commando who managed to sink one ship using limpet mines. While waiting in hiding for the transport back to the United Kingdom they were captured on 14 and 15 May 1943 and eventually taken to Sachsenhausen and Belsen concentration camps where six of them were executed, victims of the Commando Order. The seventh man died of typhus.

  • Operazione Checkmate (" Scaccomatto" in lingua inglese) è il nome in codice di un raid su navi mercantili da parte di un commando britannico nell'aprile del 1943, durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale ad Haugesund, Norvegia. Il commando consisteva in sette uomini dell'Arctic commando (commando dell'Artico) n.14, che riuscì ad affondare una nave usando mine "patella" magnetiche, che prendono il nome dalla loro forma che somiglia alla patella, un mollusco. Mentre aspettavano nascosti di essere riportati nel Regno Unito, i sette vennero catturati dai tedeschi il 14 e il 15 maggio 1943 e portati nel campo di concentramento di Sachsenhausen e Bergen-Belsen, dove sei di loro vennero uccisi, mentre il settimo morì di tifo.
