Extremely underrated/Unknown is the Dodecanese campaign, 95 percent of the gays never heard about that.
Budapest is based. Tfw you get steamrolled by the Nazis and the Soviets back to back and half the city is destroyed.

Shameful display
For me, it's Castle Itter.

Operation Downfall would have been S+++ due to sheer carnage
Based Operation Chariot chad, those guys were the definition of absolute madlads
I don't understand why this hasn't been adapted into a movie yet. They could make an amazing dark comedy of it.
S++ Tier: Invasion of Norway
>50 year old Oscarborg Fortress skullfricks the most modern ship in the German Navy on their own initiative
>Outdated Gladiators get scrambled to intercept transport planes over Oslo. They don't even have gunsights or night tracer loads but the pilots still fly up even though they all know it's a one way trip
>Norwegian pilots end up actually scoring a few kills, the German Ju-52s panic because they weren't expecting resistance
>Just as the paradrop is about to be called off, a lone Bf-110 pilot clears the way and lands on the Norwegian airfield. His tail gunner suppresses the ground crews long enough for the cargo planes to land and secure the drop zone
>Meanwhile in Narvik, two pre-dreadnaught coastal defense ships try and stall the German landing fleet long enough for the town garrison to evacuate. They give their lives in a dramatic last stand so the Army could mobilize
>Meanwhile the Norwegian Royal Guard rallies in a forest to buy enough time for the King to get to safety. After an intense battle they force the paratroopers back with only two wounded
>King Haakon and his cabinet run through the forest on foot, dodging bombs until they get saved up by a random farmer in his pickup truck that drove out to see what the commotion was
>the farmer takes the king back to his house and Hakkon borrows his phone to declare mobilization
>The German Fallschrimjager plan another drop to secure Trondheim but this fails when the identified DZ was also chosen by the Norwegian Army as the location for their divisional headquarters. Close to a battalion of paratroopers are captured without a fight when they fall down onto their tents at one in the morning

wtf
I think operation market garden was pretty kino
What else of relevance beside Market Garden happened in Holland
The Fallschrimjager got turned into paste at the Hague
>Due to the airborne failure to round up and silence the immediate airfield defences, the first twelve Ju-52 transport planes (KGrzbV.12) with the first air-landing infantry on board landed straight into a deadly cone of fire coming from the surviving northwest and southwest defence positions well supported by the 2 cm AA platoons at Delft. Three of the armoured cars - with their 37 mm guns and each with two frontal firing 7,9 mmLewisMG's - were able to join the defence fire. Most of the planes were simply riddled by bullets and shrapnel, some caught fire before touch down, others soon after. A considerable share of men on board these planes were killed instantly, others burnt with their airplane. After the battle a shocking high number of burnt corpses was recovered. Survivors of this first wave would later confirm the genuine hell amongst the troops on board.
They pulled a Hostomel.
They did worse than Hostomel, at least the VDV managed to secure the airport. The Germans got bent over a table by Dutch Air Force conscripts that were going through their mobilization boot camp.
It got so bad that literally every single officer in the landings was either killed or incapacitated, and the regimental surgeon had to take command

Oh yeah, Bir Hakim was peak kino
>In the afternoon, to the south near the old fort, Oberstleutnant Ernst-Günther Baade led two battalions of Rifle Regiment 115 into the assault and in a costly advance, they established themselves within 200 yd of the fort by nightfall. Baade became a legend in the Afrika Korps and was known to go into battle dressed in a Scottish kilt and carrying a claymore, a double-edged broadsword. As the men left their cover, Baade commanded his scout car to the head of the assault. Under withering fire from the French guns he rallied his troops forwards by standing in the command hatch and swinging his sword forward. This was repeated several times until his car was knocked out and he was forced to proceed on foot.

I mean aside from the bombings at Rabaul and Wewak and the Kokoda Trail campaign, it basically slowed down compared to the rest of the pacific campaign. Pretty much from mid 43 onwards it was the island being surrounded, occasionally bombed by the Americans and the few battles between the Aussies and the starving Japanese forces left on the island. If you've read this far, have a good day anon 🙂
Battle off Samar
Battle of Castle Itter
S Tier
> S tier Battle of Tannenberg Line where Soviets lost 17 times more troops than Axis forces
Wasn’t there some major city in the Balkans that a mad lad German officer captured basically by himself by bluffing his way in with just a dozen men? May not be a fighting battle, but passing the 100 Speech check should count for something.

Honestly some Warhammer 40k shit.
