Operation Mars was a World War II strategic offensive launched in the winter of 1942 by Soviet forces against a German salient in the vicinity of Moscow. Though in fact a more important offensive in STAVKA planning than the near-simulataneous Operation Uranus, today Operation Mars is virtually unknown, thanks largely to Soviet efforts to expunge this disastrous defeat from historical accounts of East Front fighting.
