The Secret Raid in Goa That Changed World War II Forever (Operation Creek, 1943)

Discover the unbelievable true story of Operation Creek, one of the boldest and least known missions of World War II. In 1943, a group of British commandos and volunteer civilians secretly sailed from Bombay to the neutral Portuguese territory of Goa, on a mission so daring that it risked sparking an international crisis.

Their objective: to neutralize German intelligence operations disguised as merchant ships anchored in Mormugao Harbor. These vessels were transmitting Allied convoy positions to the Kriegsmarine’s U-boats — responsible for the deaths of thousands of sailors in the Battle of the Atlantic.
What followed was a covert nighttime raid that defied military logic. Using fishing boats, improvised weapons, and total silence, the team infiltrated the harbor, planted explosives, and destroyed the enemy communication base — all without official authorization from the British government.

This documentary uncovers declassified records, eyewitness testimonies, and naval archives that reveal how Operation Creek remained hidden for decades, how it exposed Nazi espionage in India, and why the truth was buried to protect diplomatic relations with Portugal.

From the shores of Bombay to the quiet waters of Goa, this is the untold story of courage, deception, and geopolitical tension in the shadows of World War II — proving that sometimes the smallest operations change the course of history.
