[edit] CASSINO
Expertly fortified and stubbornly defended by some of Germany's finest troops, the Cassino massif and the devastated town at its foot defied assault by Allied troops from January until May 1944. The grim story of the Four Battles of Cassino is told here in detail.
Expertly fortified and stubbornly defended by some of Germany's finest troops, the glowering Cassino massif and the devastated town at its foot defied assault by American, British, French, Indian, New Zealand ad Polish troops from January until May 1944. When the Gustav and Hitler Line defences were finally swept aside by Field Marshal Alexander's great Operation 'Diadem' in May, General Mark Clark's controversial decision to drive on Rome itself rather than cutting off the retreating German Tenth Army cast into question the prize actually gained by those five months of bloodletting. The grim story of the Four Battles of Cassino is told here in fascinating detail, supported by detailed appendices and some hundred photographs and maps; and illustrated by a striking portfolio of specially commissioned colour plates of troops of eight of the armies involved, by the renowned military artist Mike Chappell.
