During World War II, Operation Anklet was a British Commando raid on 26th December, 1941 on the Lofoten Islands.
The raid was conducted by 300 men of No.12 Commando to provide a diversion for the larger raid at Vågsøy Island, Operation Archery. The German garrison, amid Christmas celebrations, was easily overcome. The Commandos disembarked after two peaceful days.
