Operation Most III was a World War II operation in which Poland's Armia Krajowa provided the Allies with crucial intelligence on the German V-2 rocket.
On May 20, 1944, a V-2 test rocket landed without detonating near Sarnaki in occupied Poland. The rocket was recovered and secured by the AK, then dismantled and analyzed in its secret laboratories. The analysis was performed by Janusz Groszkowski, Marceli Struszyński, Antoni Kocjan, and others. On the night of July 25 and July 26, parts of the captured V-2, as well as the analysis and sketches, were transported from Tarnów to the United Kingdom by a RAF plane.
