Operation Nau

(German river)

'Nau' was a German diversionary operation in support of 'Beowulf II', and thus part of 'Nordwind' (i) (September 1941).

The undertaking took the form of a reconnaissance and limited attack on Kõiguste bay on the south-eastern coast of Saaremaa (Ösel in German), the largest of the islands in Riga Bay.
