Operation Neptun

Operation Neptun was a 1943 military plan during World War II aimed at securing control of Hungary’s oil fields, which were vital for the Axis powers’ fuel supply. The operation involved attacking German-held oil facilities to cut off resources to their war effort. By targeting these strategic assets, the Allies sought to weaken German capabilities and hasten the collapse of Axis forces in Europe. The operation combined strategic bombing and ground assaults to disrupt oil production, significantly impacting the Germans’ operational effectiveness in the region.
