I think the German offensive plan for Verdun "Unternehmen Gericht (Operation Judgement) " should be on the list. Appropriate for an battle the felt like the End Times. Operation Market-Garden should be on the list. The Red Army like naming operations in winter of 1942-43 after Roman gods: Uranus, Little Saturn, and Mars.

Have a special attachment to Operation Texas Star. Not only am I a Texan but I was there with the 101st. We lost almost 400 men and had damn near 2000 wounded.

I like “Operation Wetback”, but it wasn’t a military operation so it really doesn’t belong here.

The Soviets also like to use names of Russian Generals, such as Bagration, Kutuzov, Suvorov, and Rumyantsev.

“Ivy Bells” has to be one of the oddest. It sounds like a Christmas carol.
