Operation Bonaparte (Communist World)

Operation Bonaparte was the code name for the Battle of Britain, the operation that launched the invasion of German-occupied western Europe during Great Patriotic War by Axis forces. The operation commenced on 9 September 1940 with the British landings. A 12,000-plane airborne assault preceded an amphibious assault involving almost 7,000 vessels. Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the English Channel on 9 September; more than two million allied troops were in Britain by the end of November.
