  Floris V, Count of Holland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
First his uncle, then his aunt, and, after the battle of Reimerswaal (fought over custody of Holland) in 1263, Otto II of Guelders served as his guardians until he was twelve years old and considered capable of administrating Holland himself.
He was supported by the count of Hainaut of the house of Avesnes who was an archenemy of the count of Flanders of the house of Dampierre.
In 1282 he again attacked the troublesome Frisians in the north, defeating them at the battle of Vronen, and succeeded in retrieving the body of his father.

Before I worked on the article, it was a simple re-direct to Battle of Stalingrad, which is a subset of Fall Blau, so many other battles could not be discussed in a coherent manner.
In many cases, the operation is a subset of the battle, as it is one side's planing and administration of the battle.
4) The battle is important enough that it has a separate page(s) on the planning for it that was done ahead of time ('operation' isn't in the title, but the general case is typified by the Schlieffen Plan).

The naval Battle of the Downs took place on 31 October 1639 (New style) during the Eighty Years' War and was a decisive defeat of the Spanish, commanded by Admiral Antonio de Oquendo, by the United Provinces, commanded by Lieutenant-Admiral Maarten Tromp.
The Spanish, whose first priority was to protect the troops, not to endanger them by continuing the battle, were driven to take refuge off the coast of England, in the anchorage known as The Downs between Dover and Deal, near an English squadron commanded by Vice-Admiral John Pennington.
However, for England the Battle of the Downs was a humiliation: a flagrant violation of English neutrality within sight of the English coast, with England's navy unwilling to intervene.

The German Counterattack and the Battle of the Bulge (24 December-7 February): The company went fifty miles back into Belgium and set up to operate for any unit requesting service.
Corps troops and divisions were too busy reducing the bulge to avail themselves of laundry facilities, and the first two or three weeks of this period were, as a result, marked by a decline in laundry operations.
Since the tactical situation was quite static during the early part of this period, transportation and time were available in which to carry laundry to the 600th.
