March 1st — March 4th Battle of the Bismarck Sea From the 2nd to the 4th March 1943, Allied air forces attacked a Japanese naval convoy transporting soldiers from Rabaul to Lae in Papua New Guinea. American-Australian forces managed to sink all transport ships and half of the covering ships.
March 5th — March 8th First flight of the Supermarine Spitfire On March 5th 1936, the Supermarine Spitfire, one of the fastest fighters of its time and the pride of the Royal Air Force during World War II, took off for its first test flight. In total across all variants, more than 20,000 Spitfires were produced. They were actively used during the Battle of Britain and several other fronts such as the Eastern front where they were supplied under Lend-Lease.
March 9th — March 12th Pskov Operation On March 9th 1944, the Pskov offensive operation began. The Red Army wanted to encircle Wehrmacht forces near Pskov, defeat them and liberate the city. However, after a month of fighting, Soviet troops were only able to advance 15 km forward.
March 13th — March 16th Saar-Palatinate Offensive On March 15th 1945, a large-scale Allied offensive began in Germany. In ten days, they went from Saarbrücken to Karlsruhe, completely taking control of the western bank of the Rhine.
March 16th — March 19th Vienna operation On March 16th 1945, Soviet and Bulgarian troops launched an attack on German fortifications near Vienna. Battles took place literally for every block and street. After a month of fierce urban fighting, the capital of Austria was completely cleared of Wehrmacht forces.
March 20th — March 23rd Battle of El Guettar The defeat of Allied forces in the Kasserine Pass encouraged German command in North Africa to launch a further counteroffensive. On March 23rd 1943, Axis tank units launched an attack on American positions near El Guettar, but minefields and artillery held back their onslaught, inflicting notable losses. An Allied offensive conducted at the same time also proved fruitless, and the front line did not move at the end of March.
March 23rd — March 26th Battle of Najaf At the outset of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, the city of Najaf, south of Baghdad, offered significant resistance. As a result of the fighting, which began on March 24th and ended on April 4th, the Americans lost 4 vehicle units while the Iraqi side lost more than 100.
March 27th — March 31st Battle of Cape Matapan In March 1941 Germany planned to invade Greece, which required disrupting British shipping in the eastern Mediterranean. The Italian fleet was supposed to carry out this task, but it was unprepared for battle in night conditions and greatly underestimated the British forces. In addition the Italians, unlike the British, did not have an aircraft carrier and as a result, suffered a crushing defeat.
