Operation Spark was the name given to a plan generated in the early 1940s by German anti-Nazis to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Another Operation Spark was conducted by the Red Army during the siege of Leningrad in 1943. The name was coined by General Henning von Tresckow, who believed that only after a 'spark' (Hitler's death) would other wavering collaborators agree to launch an internal coup d'état to stop the war.
