The following is a "fairly" long list of operational codenames from the Second World War. They are sorted alphabetically at present, I'm in the process of sorting by date and theatre. There are over 1000 codenames here and I'm still working on it! Please note it is almost 2002 since I put any effort into this list and due to its age, it undoubtably contains errors. Ue my list as a reference only please, its the work of an hobby general after all.

Notes:
The tables of codenames have been generated from a MS Excel Worksheet and saved as an HTML file with the tags included. For this reason, you must look at the Allied and Axis Codenames separately by clicking on the icons above.
The layout of the tables are as follows:
| Codename | Y/N | Forces Involved | Date | Theatre | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The codenames listed in Alphabetical order | The presence of a letter, Y, in this column indicates that the operation was carried out as planned. | This column indicates the nation of the principle forces engaged in any listed operation. | Column 4 gives the date that the operation was planned for or carried out/started on or the duration of the operation. | This column indicates the theatre or campaign that the operation was part of. | This column gives a short description of the operations listed. |
I hope you find this useful and informing and as allways, if you have any additions or corrections please feel free to send them on to me at: dp_burke@yahoo.com
