YouTube Description
as posted by the channelColonel Bagshot - Lord High Human Being
Between the Iran-Iraq border and the refinery city of Abadan, is the small port city of Khorramshahr. When Iraq invaded in 1980, it was a minor objective on the way to Abadan which was expected to be abandoned. Instead a small force of Iranian irregulars and soldiers cut off fought street by street for the city for a month.
After the siege of Abadan was lifted, the Iranians started to move on Khorramshahr to liberate it, and much like the first battle, they went street by street over a month. The two battles, known in military circles in Iran as "The Epic of Khorramshahr" claimed the lives of upwards of 60,000 men and thousands of tanks, cars, planes and helicopters. At the 1986 census, the population of the city remained at 0 and it is only in recent years that the city has once again begun to recover and grow.
Sorry for the short hiatus, who could have thought that a "cost-of-living crisis" would also be a free time black hole. Thank you to everyone who stuck around. Congo doc is at 15,000 words.
