Operation Dracula was a World War II-airborne and amphibious attack on Rangoon by British and Anglo-Indian forces during the Burma Campaign. The plan was first proposed in mid-1944 when the Allied South East Asia Command was preparing to reoccupy Burma, but was dropped as the necessary landing craft and other resources were not available. In March 1945 however, it was resurrected, as it was vital to capture Rangoon before the start of the monsoon (which was expected in the second week of May) to secure the lines of communication of the Allied troops in Burma.

rdfs:comment	Die Operation Dracula bildete im Zweiten Weltkrieg den Abschluss des Burmafeldzuges. In diesem Unternehmen besetzte die britisch-indische 14. Armee unter General Slim Ende April und Anfang Mai 1945 die noch von japanischen Truppen gehaltene birmanische Hauptstadt Rangun durch eine amphibische Landungsoperation. Bei diesem Angriff kam es zu keinen großen Kämpfen mehr, weil die japanischen Verteidiger die Stadt bereits geräumt hatten. (de) Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'opération Dracula fut une attaque aérienne et amphibie de Rangoon en Birmanie par les forces britanniques et indiennes. Cette attaque était un épisode de la campagne de Birmanie. Lorsque l'attaque fut lancée, les forces impériales japonaises avaient déjà quitté la ville.

(it) Операція «Дракула» (англ. Operation Dracula) — комбінована повітрянодесантна та морська десантна операція з захоплення британськими та індійськими силами під час Бірманської кампанії окупованого японськими військами міста Рангун. План був вперше запропонований усередині 1944 року, коли готувалося до деокупації Бірми, але від нього довелося відмовитися через брак необхідних десантно-висадочних засобів та інших ресурсів. Однак у березні 1945 року до плану повернулися, оскільки для союзників життєво важливо було захопити Рангун до початку мусону (який очікувався на другий тиждень травня). Операція планувалася та проводилася в надії перешкодити армії Бірми генерал-лейтенанта організувати міцну оборону регіону, оскільки її формування відступали вниз по долинах річок Іраваді та Сіттанг під тис (uk)
