Operation Caesar - Aftermath

Aftermath

The operation was a complete failure for the Germans. Had it not been for the damage the U-boat sustained, or the British bombing of Bergen, U-864 would have had a month's lead on Venturer by the time the Enigma code was broken and she was dispatched, which would have made a significant difference to the outcome.

The Germans lost U-864 and all 73 of her crew, including her captain, Ralf-Reimar Wolfram.

The British suffered no casualties or damage. For his actions at Fedje, Lieutenant Launders received the Distinguished Service Order.
