Operation Siegfried (Unternehmen Siegfried) was a nuclear test conducted by the Englean Kaiserreich, the first test of a thermonuclear warhead by the Kaiserreich. A total of four tests were conducted, with the highest recorded intensity being 11 megatons of TNT. This test, involving Gerät Greta, was not intended to be of such a high magnitude - the highest expected magnitude was to be 5 MT. It has been determined that a mixture of the fuel used for the weapon was of an incorrect concentration, which caused 7 MT to be from fusion and the subsequent 4 MT being from fusion reactions. This fuel mixture was then tested in the following test, Operation Blitz.
