With regard to entry 2 on the 6th September 1944, Jack Bakker adds : "Sgt Van der Veer, Cpl Michels, Pvts Blatt and De Koning were all parachuted into the then still occupied North of Holland with the task to organise and train the resistance forces. It was intended that this would also be done by Westerling, Bendien and Van Lienden. However this was cancelled and they went to the South of Holland instead to train units of the newly raised Dutch Army. The Dutch Institute for Military History has photos of both Bendien and Westerling training the above mentioned troops."
