Named military operations mounted from 1775 through 1944: the age of national and mass-conscript armies through the Second World War, before this atlas's own Contemporary split begins. Belongs here: Operation Dynamo, the Dunkirk evacuation of 1940; Operation Chastise, the Dambusters raid of 1943; Operation Mincemeat, the 1943 deception operation. Does not belong here: an operation launched in 1945 or later, which belongs to Contemporary instead, and an entire war or a named battle inside one, which belong to the war and battle types rather than to military-operation.
