Operation Washing was the successful destruction of the railway bridge over the Asopos River in Central Greece by four British SOE saboteurs. It took place on 21 June 1943, as part of Operation Animals.[1] The British agents included Geoffery Gordon-Creed and Donald Stott. This was detailed in the book Rogue Male by Roger Field.
