Operation Floxo was an intervention by the British army in Yugoslavia in October 1944, during the Second World War.[1] The operation's main objective was to aid Yugoslav Partisans, led by Marshal Tito, in preventing the German withdrawal from Greece and Albania via Montenegro, and "to give the greatest possible artillery support to the Yugoslav National Army of Liberation".[2]
