[edit] Operation Neptune (Soviet Attack 1943)

Operation Neptune (Soviet Attack 1943) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No references. Fails WP:ATT. Google search only refers to the amphibious landing at Normandy. Nv8200p talk 02:05, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete If this can be attributed, I'd have no problem with notability, but as it stands, I'm just not sure what to say about a minor battle where not much happened and we don't have any references. Shalom Hello 02:33, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Battle of Stalingrad and add some info. on this there; verifiable (search Google for Battle of Stalingrad Neptune), e.g. [1], [2]. JJL 03:02, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
    January 1943: Stalingrad was safely sealed, the 6th Army crumbling down and the front far away. The attack, if named so was in quite distant region. Pavel Vozenilek 14:55, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete; this is a mess. As far as I can determine, the Italian 8th Army was attacked as part of Operation Little Saturn in December, while the mid-January attack (called the Ostrogozhsk-Rossosh operation) was directed against the Hungarian 2nd Army. Offhand, the only scholarly reference to an "Operation Neptune" I could find was Glantz speculating that this was a possible codename for a follow-on to Operation Mars.

  • Delete Another source indicates that NEPTUN was a counterattack by German ground forces against Soviet units near the Black Sea at Myschanko-Berg on 6 April 1943. Given the apparent disagreement on date/place, at best it's a minor action associated with Stalingrad Campaign. If more sourcing can be found, it would help. Otherwise, delete, since there are too many variables. Acroterion (talk) 17:11, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
