Operation Rote Kapelle

Operation Rote Kapelle was a secret Allied mission during World War II aimed at disrupting Nazi Germany's intelligence and military operations. The name, meaning "Red Orchestra" in German, referred to a network of spies and resistance groups across occupied Europe, especially in France and Germany. These groups gathered information, coordinated sabotage, and communicated with the Allies to weaken German efforts. The operation was significant for exposing and neutralizing many of these espionage activities, helping the Allies understand and counteract German plans, ultimately contributing to the broader intelligence efforts that supported the Allied war campaign.
