War-damaged street with rubble and destroyed vehicles

Operational history is necessary, but incomplete without civilian perspective.

Civilian realities

  • Scarcity and control
  • Uncertainty and survival decisions
  • Rapid shift from occupation routine to combat chaos

Three words

Risk. Choice. Aftermath.

Liberation was not one instant; it was a dangerous sequence of hours.
