[h2]September 1st — September 4th [/h2] [h3]Bryansk Operation[/h3] After the victory in the Battle of Kursk, the USSR seized the strategic initiative from Germany and advanced on Bryansk. After a series of initial failures, the Red Army managed to go on the offensive in September 1943 and drive the Germans out of Bryansk on September 17th, and out of the Bryansk region by early October. [h2]September 5th — September 8th [/h2] [h3]Victory Parade in Berlin in 1945[/h3] On the initiative of Marshal Zhukov, a victory parade was held at the Brandenburg Gate in Allied-occupied Berlin on September 7th 1945, with the participation of the USSR, Great Britain, France and the USA. It was nicknamed the “forgotten parade” because it was not covered as much in the Western press, and the Allied commanders-in-chief (except Zhukov) refused to participate, sending their deputies instead. [h2]September 8th — September 11th [/h2] [h3]Battle of Asal Uttar [/h3] The largest tank battle of the Second Indo-Pakistani War took place on September 8th-10th 1965. Pakistani tanks attacked without infantry support, and the Indian army took advantage of the tactical advantage to achieve a confident victory. Pakistan lost almost a hundred tanks in the battle, a third of which were captured by India in combat-ready condition. [h2]September 12th — September 15th [/h2] [h3]Baltic Operation [/h3] On September 14th 1944, the Red Army began a strategic operation to expel German troops from the territory of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It included the Riga, Tallinn, Moonsund and Memel operations and took place on a front line a thousand kilometers long. By the end of autumn, the Wehrmacht had been driven out of the territories of all three Baltic countries, with the exception of the Courland pocket. [h2]September 16th — September 19th [/h2] [h3]Battle of Arracourt[/h3] The Battle of Arracourt in northeastern France took place from September 18th to 28th 1944. It was one of the largest tank battles on the Western Front. Germany sent 262 tanks and assault guns to counterattack the American forces, but did not provide them with reconnaissance, which gave the United States the tactical advantage. The Americans were able to shell the enemy from advantageous positions and outflank them. In the end, with relatively small losses, they disabled almost 200 units of German equipment. [h2]September 19th — September 22nd[/h2] [h3]Battle of Hürtgen Forest[/h3] On September 19th, the longest battle in the history of the American army began which lasted for several months. The Germans successfully held the Hürtgen Forest, repelling attacks by the Allies. From this region, the Wehrmacht then organized the Ardennes counteroffensive. During numerous attempts at an offensive, the Americans lost several tens of thousands of men. The Battle of Hürtgen Forest was one of the most severe defeats of the Allies. [h2]September 23rd — September 26th[/h2] [h3]Tuapse Defensive Operation[/h3] On September 25th 1942, Soviet troops began a defensive operation in southern Russia. They managed to hold back the superior forces of the Wehrmacht, preventing the Germans from taking Tuapse, breaking through to the Georgian Military Road and the oil deposits in Azerbaijan. By the beginning of winter, Germany’s forces in the region were tied down, and the USSR went on the offensive. [h2]September 27th — September 30th[/h2] [h3]Operation Samen-ol-A’emeh[/h3] From September 27th to 29th 1981, Iran carried out an operation to lift the siege of Abadan, a small city near the border with Iraq that Iraqi forces had been besieging for 11 months since the start of the war but had failed to take. The Iranians struck along the front line toward the Iraqi city of Basra to force the enemy to redeploy forces to defend their own territory. As a result, the Iraqi troops besieging Abadan were left without reinforcements and, although they outnumbered the Iranian forces, they fled in panic as a result of the attack, abandoning hundreds of vehicles.
