Pages of History (September)
Roza Shanina was a student and a kindergarten teacher in Arkhangelsk, who enlisted as a volunteer. She graduated from sniper school with excellence and participated in battles from April of 1944. For her valour and great results she was awarded the Order of Glory 3rd class after just two weeks of fighting: she became the first servicewoman of the 3rd Belorussian Front to receive it. She participated in battles under Vitebsk and Vilnius, and in early September of 1944 hunted down German snipers on the East Prussia border. By that time her kill count was over 50, and on September 16th, 1944 she was awarded the Order of Glory 2nd class.

Completion of each individual task will bring you a trophy with one of the following rewards:
After victory in the Battle of Kursk, the Soviet forces intended to keep advancing on Bryansk, but the first two weeks of the Bryansk offensive were unsuccessful. Only in early September thanks to the decisions by General Markian Popov the Red Army managed to pierce the enemy's defences.
On September 7th, 1945, a Victory Parade was held in Berlin, suggested by the USSR. It was attended by Marshal Georgy Zhukov (USSR), General George Patton (USA), General Brian Robertson (UK), and General Marie-Pierre Knig (France). The USSR used this parade as an opportunity to publicly demonstrate its heavy tank IS-3 for the first time.
The largest tank battle of the Second Indo-Pakistani War was held from 8th to 10th of September of 1965. It began with incursion of Pakistani forces into Indian territory and ended with their defeat and retreat: the Pakistani lost almost 100 tanks in the battle, earning this place the nickname "Patton Graveyard". The losses of Indian Centurions were three only a third of that number.
September 14th, 1944 marked the beginning of the Baltic Operation massive offensive of the Soviet forces on the territories of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. It was successful: a large portion of the Wehrmacht forces was blocked in the Courland Pocket, and the Red Army reached East Prussia.
From 18th to 29th of September, 1944 lasted the battle for Arracourt in northeastern France the largest tank battle involving US forces on the Western Front until the Battle of the Bulge. The German side had superiority in numbers of both troops and tanks, but thanks to better intelligence, tactics and use of terrain the US were victorious and in the end pushed the enemy back to the border with Germany.
The first sea landing of the USSR Navy on the Black Sea. On the night from 21st to 22nd September of 1941 a small Soviet force landed behind the Axis lines near Grigor'evka, 30 km from Odessa. It, along with the main forces stationed in the city, routed two Romanian divisions and pushed the front line several kilometres from Odessa.
On 25th of September, 1942 a massive offensive of the German forces in Kuban began. The Red Army's Tuapse defensive operation was a successful attempt to contain the offensive: as a result, the Wehrmacht managed to reach neither Tuapse, nor the road to Georgia, nor Caspian Sea.
From September 27th through to the 29th of 1981 the Iranian armed forces executed Operation Samen-ol-A'emeh ("The Eighth Imam'') aiming to lift the siege of Abadan. A diversion made the Iraqi believe that the enemy was marching on Basra, then the Iranian air force utilised its air superiority to strike the Iraqi ground troops, and finally the Iranian army led an attack from three sides. The losses were mostly equal, but the Iraqi forces left behind hundreds of trophy vehicles as they retreated.

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.
War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.
You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!
In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.
Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.
War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.
