That'll do. "Sunset Project" was intended to be an effective deterrent to the balloon threat. Once detected by ground radar, P-38s and P-61s were to be guided by VHF ground transmitting equipment to the balloons and destroy them. However by the time the system was up and running, the Japanese had stopped launching balloons.

What was the secret code name for the attack by Army Group B on Stalingrad in 1942?

From my source, neither is correct. That may be the code name for afterwards but let me look into this. I have something entirely different.
Ok, this would be the codename for the extension of Blau II.

HERON?
The road to Stalingrad - Army Group South part 6.
Part of directive #45 :
"The task of Army Group B is, as previously laid down, to develop the Don defenses
and, by a thrust forward to Stalingrad, to smash the enemy forces concentrated
there, to occupy the town, and to block the land communications between the Don
and the Volga, as well as the Don itself. Closely connected with this, fast-moving
forces will advance along the Volga with the task of thrusting through to Astrakhan
and blocking the main course of the Volga in the same way.
These operations by Army Group B will be known by the cover name "Heron"."
Thats it, otherwise known in German as "Fischreiher"! I guess my question was a little vague. And yes, Rabid, blau is blue in German.
The question baton goes to Graeme.
