Paratrooper action against Corinth Canal, 26 April 1941 - Codename?
Gentlemen,
the question is basically in the title: Is it known which code name was given to this mission? One source says "Unternehmen Hannibal", but I do not know whether I can trust it. Does anyone have any documents about this? Cheers, Christian

Operation Hannibal (ii)
(CARTHAGINIAN GENERAL) This was the German airborne operation to seize the bridge over the Corinth Canal (26 April 1941). https://codenames.info/ The website is usually quite good Martin

Thanks Martin, this looks like a good site indeed, but sadly they also don't give a source for the name...
