Operation Zeppelin (Assassination Plot)
Operation Zeppelin was the name of an elaborate German plan to assassinate Josef Stalin in Moscow. It was conceived in July 1944 when Ernst Kaltenbrunner, who succeeded Reinhard Heydrich as head of the RSHA, asked the Luftwaffe's KG 200 unit if they could land a man within 60 miles from Moscow, far in advance of the German front lines at that time.
