Interview with Haj Mohammad Hashem Soleimani
I was just appointed as a guard. We were in Shemiran Palace. When we changed post the previous guard didn’t tell me that Shapoor Alireza [1] has left the palace. When I started my shift I didn’t know Shapoor Alireza is out of the palace. It was dark at night that I saw car lights from the road and a car was closing in. It flashed light. We had closed the gates. He said: hey guard! Open the door! I said: Sir! I don’t know you. He said: I just left few minutes ago. Susangerd, Occupation, Liberation (3)
An interview with Ghodratollah Bahari
Eleventh of Mehr 1359, we moved by helicopter toward the enemy. A number of Green Beret forces were also in the helicopter and we met them accidentally. Their commander was a First Lieutenant who became Colonel and then an adviser. We came and reached to Susangerd-Hamidieh road, where we saw Iraqi tanks have mired. They surrounded by water and their crew have fled. We didn’t have anything to do with the mired tanks. They were also no problem for helicopters.Interview with Mehr Ali Ebrahim Nejad

An interview with Ghodratollah Bahari
I visited Colonel Ghasemi, commander of Ahvaz army, and introduced myself. I knew him before. He was commander of Battalion 255-Tank in which I had been trained M36 and M4 tanks. He was familiar with my spirit. He didn’t know my other past records, but had known with my spirit from that time I was in battalion for training. “Ghodrat! What are you doing here?” he called my name, “did you escape to Tehran?” I said: “Yes, but I was a volunteer.”Military service at the beginning of the 1950s (1)

Interview with Haji Mohammad Hashem Soleimani
I had heard that Haji Mohammad Hashim Soleimani has served his soldiering in Pahlavi’s palaces between the years 1331 to 1333 (1952-1954). On a snowy day in the fall of 1394 (2015), I set off to Chonas village in Arak. Mr. Soleimani’s job was farming. And although he was born in 1312 (1933), but still speaks about some events of his twenties precisely and warmly. It has passed more than 63 years since that time, but he speaks as if it happened yesterday.Susangerd, Occupation, Liberation (1)

Attack on Halabcheh narrated
With wet saliva, we are having the lunch which that loving Isfahani man gave us from the back of his van when he said goodbye in the city entrance. Adaspolo [lentils with rice] with yoghurt! We were just started having it when the plane dives, we go down and shelter behind the runnel, and a few moments later, when the plane raises up, we also raise our heads, and while eating, we see the high sides ...The Arab People Committee
Another event that happened in Khuzestan Province and I followed up was the Arab People Committee. One day, we were informed that the Arabs had set up a committee special for themselves.

Some are of the view that oral history is useful because it is the words of people who have not been seen. It is meant by people who have not been seen, those who have not had any title or position. If we look at oral history from this point of view, it will be objected why the oral memories of famous people such as revolutionary leaders or war commanders are compiled.
