Operation Typhoon

The German Strategic Offensive, named Operation Typhoon, called for two pincer offensives, one to the north of Moscow against the Kalinin Front by the 3rd and 4th Panzer Armies, simultaneously severing the Moscow–Leningrad railway, and another to the south of Moscow Oblast against the Western Front south of Tula, by the 2nd Panzer Army, while the 4th Army advanced directly towards Moscow from the west.

Initially, the Soviet forces conducted a strategic defence of the Moscow Oblast by constructing three defensive belts, deploying newly raised reserve armies, and bringing troops from the Siberian and Far Eastern Military Districts. As the German offensives were halted, a Soviet strategic counter-offensive and smaller-scale offensive operations forced the German armies back to the positions around the cities of Oryol, Vyazma and Vitebsk, and nearly surrounded three German armies. It was a major setback for the Germans, and the end of their belief in a swift German victory over the USSR. As a result of the failed offensive, Field Marshal Walther von Brauchitsch was dismissed as supreme commander of the German Army, with Hitler replacing him in the position.

A total lie usually mentioned in computer textbooks when talking about operating systems. Older computers sometimes do not have an operating system, so this is totally a lie because these computers can still function. Also, even modern computers can make use of the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) to do some basic tasks such as viewing and changing the date.

Operation Burundi

Operation Burundi: Free one-way ticket to Burundi for all 13/50 criminals who wind up daily on the YouTube channel PoliceActivity -- always and forever the stars of the show. Transporting these "usual suspects" in a C130 to the central African nation of Burundi, flying the bird at around 1000 feet over the drop zone smack dab in the middle of the country, and kicking them out of the plane so the static line opens their chute immediately and they float safely to the ground to their new home, for good. We, the civilized people of America and the West, should not have to live like this anymore. They've pushed us too far and we've had enough. Now out they go. Enjoy your new life in Burundi, you earned it! "Operation Burundi": Winner of the 2025 Meme of the Year Award
