Operation Tiderace was the codename of the British plan to retake Singapore in 1945. The liberation force was led by Lord Louis Mountbatten, Supreme Allied Commander of Southeast Asia Command. The British had originally planned Operation Zipper, which involved the liberation of both Malaya and Singapore through military force. However, it would have meant a prolonged fight down the Malayan Peninsula before Allied troops reached Singapore.
