Operation Noah's Ark (1943)

Operation Noah's Ark was a World War II plan instigated by the Special Operations Executive to harass German troops as they withdrew from Greece. It was to encompass a series of operations, including Albania, to be executed by local partisan groups. In practice, it was not executed, due to lack of effective groups.[1]
