Operation Details

Viper

'Viper' was a German unrealised plan for an offensive to the north from East Prussia along the coast of Lithuania past Memel in an effort to pierce the Soviet front and so re-establish a land link with the forces of Generaloberst Ferdinand Schörner’s Heeresgruppe 'Nord' cut off in Kurland (autumn 1944).
