Talk:Operation Donnerschlag

Modified date of army operation to 1942 to be consistent with List of operations and projects (military and non-military). Also with several sources on the web.

Naval Donnerschlag?
The break-out by the ships of the Brest Group had six different code names during various planning stages in an effort to confuse any adversary; the final German admiralty plan and the actual operation was “Operation Cerberus.” “Donnerschlag” may have been one of these code names, but a Naval “Donnerschlag” in connection with “Operation Cerberus” is not identified in the literature. The British effort to prevent the break-out and return of the German ships to their home bases was code-named “Fuller.” Various sub-operations, “Stopper,” “Habo,” “Line SE,” and “Jim Crow” were part of “Fuller.” None were effective. Operation Donnerschlag as a major German Naval enterprise is doubtful.--Gamahler 04:05, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The original wiki page ‘Operation Donnerschlag’ is a verbatim regurgitation from the All Experts Encyclopedia. No statement of sources either in official histories or literature is given.  Both references, Army and Naval, as currently stated, are in conflict with other relevant Wikipedia pages.--Gamahler 17:07, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Based on data from the limited Operation Cerberus literature, there was no Naval Operation Donnerschlag in the final plan and subsequent fleet movement known as Operation Cerberus. Will modify references to the Naval Donnerschlag.--Gamahler 00:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
