Operation AXIOM: The World War
22 December 1914-17 January 1915: The Battle of Sarikamish—the encirclement & annihilation of an Ottoman offensive expedition by the Russians; the Turks were comprehensively outmaneuvered, but were truly undone by the bitter winter cold & their own poor organization & lack of preparation.







Lest we forget.
