I'm having a hard time finding those specific details online.\n\nHere is a book specifically focuses on the British/Soviet Invasion of Iran\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0275927938\n\nBasic Information that I've found so far,\nhttp://www.iranian.com/History/Nov97/WWII/index.html\nhttp://www.parstimes.com/history/anglo_soviet_invasion.html\n\nfrom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Soviet_invasion_of_Persia\n"The Soviets came from the north with their 44th, 47th and 53rd Armies."\n\nfrom http://www.onwar.com/chrono/1941/aug41/25aug41.htm\n"The Soviet forces advance in three columns under General Novikov's command. One column moves on Tabriz while the other two advance on either side of the Caspian Sea."\n\nLots of detailed information on WWII Soviet military actions and compositions\nhttp://rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com/index.htm

How would this help regain it's past glory?  Even when it was the Soviet Union it had a lot of internal problems which still plague it today.  That's what caused the Soviet Union to collapse in the first place.  I doubt Iran going to war would help them in anyway because it'd disrupt oil production from the country for a period of time (if a ground war broke out).

I agree that this is obvious.  Iraq was probably the hegemon in the Middle East before the US invasion, though Iran had already been clamoring for increased power and influence in the region.  Now that Iraq has fallen into great turmoil, Iran now has an opportunity to increase its influence and establish itself as the leading Muslim nation, much as the US is considered the leading democratic nation.  Iran has much to gain from a destabilized Iraq, and is thus contributing to the violence through weapons sales.

The majority party in Iraq is run by Iranian sympathizers.  Iran has a greater interest in Iraq than we do.

ANSWER: The soviets were not specifically at the battle itself at Normandie Beach itself.  They were busy on the eastern fronts and in the Russian, Ukranian, and Georgian satellites of the former USSR.  \n\nThe Allied forces on D-Day consisted of 20 U.S. divisions, 14 British divisions, 3 Canadian divisions, a French division, and a Polish division.

Iran (i-ran, i-rahn, eye-ran)\n\nRepublic in the Middle East, bordered by Armenia, the Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan to the north; Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east; the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf to the south; and Iraq and Turkey to the west. Its capital and largest city is Teheran. \n\n\nCore of the ancient Persian Empire, Iran was known as Persia until 1935.\nThe United States supported the regime of the shah (king) Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, who was forced by popular opposition to leave the country in 1979.\nAyatollah Ruhollah Khomeini ruled from 1979 until his death in 1989, imposing strict Islamic law.\nIn 1979, Iranian militants attacked the U.S. embassy and seized hostages, including sixty-two Americans, who were held until 1981.\nIraq unsuccessfully invaded Iran in 1980.\nThe Iranian government was widely believed to have controlled the taking of U. S. hostages in Lebanon. (See Iran-Contra affair.)\nThe 1990s saw some moderating elements emerge to challenge the conservative heirs to Khomeini.

The last major offensive by the German army in World War II. In late 1944, the invasion of Belgium by the Allies was temporarily stopped by a German counterattack in which the Germans broke through the Allied defenses, seizing territory that caused a large “bulge” in their lines. The Allies, led by General George Patton, drove the German forces back with heavy casualties on both sides.

As always just go to www.wikipedia.org lol I go there for everything, but not now because it's not working right now(I am also working on a world history project ha what a coincidence.)Stalingrad happend because Von Paulus and Hitler decided to invade south into the Caucuses for raw materials instead of North into Moscow. There, they were defeated and the whole 6th army wwas killed/captured, leading to the collapse of the Eastern Front.

The Battle of Kursk\n\nHaving been informed by a German offensive in Kursk, Gen. Georgi Zhukov prepared a defensive line with minefields, trenches, antitank guns, and the heavy T-34 tanks. When the Wermacht (German Army) reached Kursk, the Soviets launched a preparatory bombardment. Katyusha multiple rockets, known as Stalin Organs, thinned down the Germans. They Soviet Air Force also strafed Luftwaffe airfields, and dogfights involving thousands of aircraft aroused. Gen. Hoth's 4th Panzerarmee got into Soviet defenses, so Soviet reserves were rushed forward. About 800 T-34s clashed with the heavier King Tiger and Panther tanks equipped with Ferdinand self-propelled guns. The Germans lost a hundred tanks, and on July 15 Hitler called off the offensive.

Morroco is correct however Patton was not in command of the 2nd Army at the time he was in command of The Western Task Force with Rear Admiral Henry Kent Hewitt heading the naval operations. It consisted of the US 2nd Armored Division, and the US 3rd and US 9th Infantry Divisions - 35,000 troops in all.

It's Operation Drumbeat.  (Does that fit your puzzle?)  :)\n\nIn the link below, you will find the name under the heading Operation Paukenschlag, about three paragraphs down the right-hand column.

Waffen SS. Before you call me names, consider this:\n\nSome divisions lost over 90% of their strength in seminal battles on the eastern front, like the Demjansk pocket or before Moscow, yet still held the line. \n\nI don't know of any other force doing this. To sum it up, they never surrendered (no matter the odds) and rarely retreated (only case I know of was in 1945, facing a manpower ratio of 1:25).\n\nFinally, their exploits are well documented (as opposed to some ancient formations that might be partially legend) and they had ample opportunity to prove themselves in that titanic struggle that was WW 2 (as opposed to some ultra-special forces that engage once in a blue moon).
