This map covers central Italy from Massa and Pisa to Pesaro and Ravenna (the northern Appenines) and depicts the retreat of Gothic Line - the German defensive line in WWII - as the Allies advanced north towards Bologna in late 1944. Clear graphics overprinted on the map depict the changing position of the Line, the principal assaults and counter-attacks, important battle sites, various defensive positions and fortifications. Cemeteries and memorials are also marked. Explanatory notes in English and Italian describe the progress of the campaign. Double-sided, bilingual.
