List of Commando raids on the Atlantic wall[edit]

I am submitting this article for a peer review. I am hoping to move it to Featured List and any and all advice is welcome. I did struggle with the title Atlantic Wall after considering Western Europe and North West Europe so any more suggestions especially welcome. It would split down into three lists of Commando raids on France, Norway or Channel island with the one each on Belgium and the Netherlands falling by the wayside. --Jim Sweeney (talk) 16:53, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nick-D[edit]

As always Jim, this is a very solid article. My suggestions for improvements are:

  • The commando unit infobox seems unnecessary
Ok removed inf box
  • "conducted by the British and Commonwealth forces" - what about the Free French and Norwegians?
 Done
  • The background section is unsatisfactory - I'd suggest that this focus on the motivations for the raids and the types of raids conducted rather than provide a short history of how the commandos were raised
changing this to suggestion.
  • Does the repeated statements that the purpose of the raids was to "capture prisoner" mean that the commandos only intended to take a single prisoner during these operations?
 Done changed to prisoners
  • A column summarising the result of each raid would be useful
 Done
  • A column with the number of commandos involved in each raid might also be useful, and would emphasise that most of the operations were small
