Operation Haifisch (Shark) was a German codename for the cover operation against Great Britain in World War II, elaborated by Wilhelm Keitel. Designated to begin in April, 1941, it was aimed to strike at England's southern coast in four different places between Folkestone and Worthing. The Kriegsmarine's main task was to ferry the invasion forces after loading them at major ports between Cherbourg and Rotterdam.
