Can anyone give me the operation name of Mining the Danube from 8th/9th April 1944 till October 1944 by the 205th RAF Bomber Group/15th US Airforce Army.
(RAF's 205th Bomber Group was the single unit to serve under a other country than UK.)

Was there also a German operation name to clear the Danube??

Thanks Laszlo!

I had the idea of 'Gardening' too, but then I found out, all mine-laying/mine-dropping operations had the code 'Gardening'.

But thanks!!!!

I will try it in a RAF forum.
