On 7th February 1945, the SOE-agent Jørgen R. Jenk ("Gremlin") was airdropped at Holstebro. He was to be the personal representative to the new SOE leader in Jutland, Ole Lippmann. Up until 1943, Jenk had been involved in illegal newspaper publications and came via Sweden to England in February 1944. Much of his work in Jutland consisted of trying to get the Jutland leader, Vagn Bennike and the reception leader, Toldstrup, to cooperate constructively with each other - without much luck!
