More than 90 #Jedburgh teams parachuted into France in 1944. Once in, they would meet up w/local resistance groups, providing an essential link between guerrillas & Allied command. One of the most famous Jedburghs was William Colby, who would later become CIA Director. #DDay75 https://t.co/eBgvwNUsMG — PolitiTweet.org

Where did the name #Jedburgh come from? It’s still a mystery, but one theory is the codename was chosen to correspond to J-Jour, the French translation of the US military term, #DDay. “Surprise, Kill, Vanish: The Legend of the Jedburghs”: https://t.co/2qVE4OWpgg #DDay75 https://t.co/vqvc0i1mX7 — PolitiTweet.org
