Operation Seagull I : ウィキペディア英語版 | Operation Seagull I Operation Seagull I (''"Unternehmen Möwe I"'' or ''"Seemöwe"'' in German) was an Abwehr II sanctioned mission devised in May 1942. The plan was the brainchild of Kurt Haller and an expert from Abwehr I-Wi (economic). The plan envisioned the use of an Abwehr agent to sabotage the North Scottish power station at Fort William. The agent chosen by Haller for Seagull I was an Irish POW, which helped form the details of the mission. In detail – the agent would parachute into the vicinity of Glasgow, Scotland where he would form a three-man operational sabotage group from his Irish friends based in the area. The target was to be the electric power station at Fort William and the hydroelectric production facility at Kinlochleven. Seagull I was later refined in June 1942 to operate in tandem with Operation Seagull II with both operations being controlled by radio. It was also planned for each sabotage team in Ireland and Scotland to liaise with each other via radio contact. == Military context ==
Operation Seagull I planning began after the failure of Operation Innkeeper (''"Unternehmen Gastwirt"'' in German). It appears that Abwehr hoped the training of seemingly compliant Irish POW's who had previous military experience with the British Army would lead to success. Operation Seagull I was planned in tandem with Operation Seagull II; its genesis can be seen in the context of 1940 – 1941 Abwehr accomplishments in recruiting agents from Irish National POWs held at Stalag XX A (301) also known as "Friesack Camp". While the overall focus of the Abwehr was intelligence gathering, there was a great deal of latitude at the regional planning level in the Abwehr's structure. This led to a series of missions, such as the Seagull series, which with the benefit of hindsight appear to be entirely flawed.
