First comment edit
Are you sure that the operation is called Renntier with double n? The german word for Reindeer is written wiht one n: Rentier. (comment added by 141.20.54.123)
- You are probably correct, since I just copied the name from a finnish book and most likely made a typo. But google does give hits for "Operation Renntier" and some of them are not Wikipedia clones. (Operation Rentier get zero hits) -- Jniemenmaa 12:25, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I doubted this spelling, too, but I found out that "Renntier" is an ancient spelling of Rentier. So, the name of the operation may (probably) really have had the double n. --Kräuter-Oliven 20:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Edits edit
I've re-jigged the wording in this, to make it flow better. I hope it meets with approval. Xyl 54 (talk) 17:36, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Spelling, again edit
The spelling used here, "Renntier", may be unorthodox, but (according to the discussion above) it also appears to be the one used. If anyone has a source which uses the spelling "Rentier" for this operation, please bring it to the discussion. Xyl 54 (talk) 06:05, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
