[edit] Title

Hi Andreas. I just read your point on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history about the problem of naming "Operation Blue". What about "Germany's 1942 summer offensive"? It's not very long, compared to many other article names in Wikipedia, and it is much more descriptive for non-military buffs. And the risk of mixing it up with other operations during that summer (i.e. mainly Rommel's activities in Northern Africa) is very small. Just an idea... Best regards Thomas Blomberg 01:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

It shouldn't be "Operation Blue". Fall Blau is "Case Blue", not "Operation Blue"; it's not an operational codename, it's a war plan. (I can't recall the German for "operation", tho...) Trekphiler 00:07, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal?

I'm having feelings that this article should be removed. The information is contained enough to fit on the Battle for Stalingrad article. Colonel Marksman 00:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

No this article is relevant, and is an important component of WWII. This article only needs expansion.(Lucas(CA) 03:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC))
