The Second World War was won not just on the beaches, but in the shadows. Few units embody the spirit of clandestine warfare like the Jedburghs. These Elite three-man teams composed of British SOE, American OSS, and Free French operatives served as the "spearhead."

Parachuted into occupied Europe under the cover of darkness, their mission was to ignite the French Resistance, coordinated with SAS sabotaged and sow the chaos that crippled the German war machine behind the Atlantic Wall.

Step into the shadows of 1944 with SOE Expeditions for the definitive Jedburgh Experience. This uncompromising 10-day journey retraces the "Special Operations Pipeline," from the high-stakes "Finishing School" at Milton Hall to the clandestine drop zones of Northwest France.

Following the trail of the legendary Jedburgh teams, the SAS, and the Maquis, you will uncover the secret history of the unconventional war that turned the tide of the European theater. To truly honor their legacy, you will have the opportunity to experience a fraction of their raw courage with a tandem parachute jump, mirroring the "leap of faith" taken by these heroes into the heart of occupied territory.

Join us to retrace their route, and preserve a legacy forged in the darkness of occupied Europe.

From their formation at Milton Hall in England through a network of Specialist Training Schools where they mastered parachuting, languages, demolitions, radio operations, and guerrilla warfare.

We then follow the teams into the final planning phases for Operation Overlord, culminating in their nighttime parachute insertions into occupied France in early June 1944, days and hours before D-Day, where they linked up with the French Resistance and the SAS to prepare the ground for the Allied invasion.

Join us as we follow in the footsteps of the Jedburgh teams across Brittany. Visit Resistance museums and Saint-Nazaire submarine base along with key resistance sites. To truly honor the legacy of these heroes with the option to take part in a tandem parachute jump, experiencing a small fraction of the courage required to drop into occupied territory.
