Description

The Italian Campaign is truly an amazing, and often heartbreaking, story, and it certainly generates sympathy as well as respect for the soldiers who fought there, particularly the sacrificed Texas and Polish soldiers as well as the British "D-Day Dodgers." In addition to the British soldiers, you gain a new and far greater appreciation of the men in the 36th Texas and Polish Divisions because of their commitment, heroism and sacrifice in these battles, much less the many others from multiple nations who fought in Italy in 1943 and 1944. This book is the second title in the NOVA Science Publishers Homeland Security Series presenting a walking tour of World War II battle sites in mainland Italy: A Walking Tour of Italy's WWII Battlefields: From the Salerno Landings to San Pietro Infine A Walking Tour of Italy's WWII Battlefields: Breaking the Gustav and Hitler Lines A Walking Tour of Italy's WWII Battlefields: From the Anzio Landings to Rome. These books were derived from the sights and sounds experienced while on Marty Gane's South Mountain Expeditions 2014 tour called WWII Invasion of Italy: From Sicily to Rome. The late Edwin Cole Bearss [1] was the lead South Mountain historian for the tour, and helped select our expert history guide British Lt Col (Retd) Frank de Planta de Wildenberg, a deservedly renown Italian battlefield tour leader. Franks designed the tour route, providing the specific strategic and tactical on-the-ground details we experienced at each stand (tour location) we visited. Ed Bearss provided insightful commentary and likened situations to his own combat experience as a Marine in the WWII Pacific theater. This book provides the images and narration of Frank and Ed as we were taken on the tour of battle sites as the Allies tried four times to break through the Gustav Line and then another battle for the Hitler Line. Nowhere has the importance of terrain in ground combat more apparent, and perhaps more exaggerated, than in Italy, and even more so in and around Montecassino. This book documents Frank's and Ed's accurate and insightful narrative and many photographs drawn from tour video. We were continuously impressed with the full visibility of the Liri Valley floor from the surrounding heights above Rte. 6, the chosen Allied route to Rome. These heights enabled domination of the battles fought for the Gustav Line by physically underpowered and tactically overmatched Allied armies. Creating this book series brought back many emotive sights, sounds, stories and emotions (unfortunately, not the food) experienced on the tour. We hope it provides some sense of that experience for the reader.
