Blenheim Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Well, I know quite a bunch of names, and tons of them are told arround here from time to time; the problem is... I am confussed. I am not able to associate operations to names any more. Mars? Where was it? When? Bagration? Citadel? Uranus? Plez, guys, I need a list of the major ops, just to get things cleared. And above all, one thing that tortures me... What was the name of the final Soviet Offensive to Berlin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 With no claims for inclusiveness, working from memory. German: Barbarossa - Initial attack Beowulf II - seizure of Baltic islands (Dagoe, Moon, Oesel) off Estonia 1941 Taifun - attack on Moscow Fall Blau - summer 1942 offensive in AG South Zitadelle - Kursk Sonnenwende - smallish counter-attack on the Oder 1945 Spring Awakening - counter-attack to free Budapest from encirclement Soviet Mars - abortive attack on Rhzev salient 11-12/1942 Uranus - encirclement of Stalingrad Saturn - planned sweep following Uranus to cut off Army Group A, but replaced by: Little Saturn - less ambitious scheme in spring 1943 Gallop - attack to reach the Dnjepr, spring 1943 Something something Rumyantsev - attack following Kursk, finally liberating Kharkov Bagration - Operation to destroy AG Centre summer 1944 I see if I can dig out some more tonight.

Andreas Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Originally posted by Berlichtingen: I just know you meant to say FruhlingserwachenYeah, but I was tired at work, so the English crept in. Sonnenwende was the counter-attack at Stargard, IIRC. 'Polkovodets Rumyantsev' (General Rumyantsev) was what I was looking for, following Zitadelle. 'Star' was the abortive attempt by 3rd Tank Army to reach the Dnjepr in Feb/March 43. 'Vistula-Oder' and 'Lvov-Sandomierz' were the operations following 'Bagration'. Do I just not know these names, or did the Soviets no longer bother with code names following 'Bagration'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricornelius Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I don't think they did. I can't locate any code name references for it. "Battle Of Berlin" crops up now & then, but I can't detect any sort of codename. Perhaps it formed an epilogue to Operation Bagration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
