- Operation_Devon abstract "Operation Devon was the codeword given to an amphibious landing by British Commandos at Termoli on the Adriatic coast of Italy during the Second World War. It was launched on 3 October 1943, as part of the attack on the Volturno Line, and undertaken by No. 3 Commando, No. 40 (Royal Marine) Commando and elements of the 2nd Special Service Brigade. It was later reinforced by forward elements from 78 Infantry Division.In the early hours of 3 October 1943, Nos. 3 and 40 (RM) Commandos elements of the Special Raiding Squadron landed behind the German lines under cover of darkness at Termoli, a seaport town on the Adriatic coast, north of the Bifurno River. 40 Commando penetrated well into the town before the Germans were alerted, and brisk close-quarter fighting with German paratroopers from 1 Fallschirmjäger Division ensued. By 08:00 hours, the commandos had captured the town and controlled the approaches. So complete was the surprise that German vehicles and motorcyclists still drove into a commando ambush position until noon.German infantry counter-attacked in strength, later supported by tanks from 26 Panzer Division, but the commandos, together with some reinforcements from the 78 Division, held off repeated infantry and armoured counter-attacks until 6 October. By noon on the 6th they had linked up with the 8th Army, and by noon on the 6th the enemy was in full retreat.".
