First of all my compliments for this terriffic website.
I noticed that a member of one of the Jedburgh teams is missing. I wasn't able to find the name John Olmstead, an American Major who was dropped in Hoge Hexel on 9 september 1944, alongside John "Bunny" Austin and Major Henk Brinkgreve. Major Olmstead was the only member of the team who survived the war.
More information about Major Omstead can be found in the books written by Dutchman C.B. Cornelissen, who has specialised in wartime history in particular concerning in the east of Holland.
Regards,
Esther
