ROME FELL TODAY

(Subject: World War II - Italy) An account of the Italian Campaign, from Salerno to the liberation of Rome on June 4th, 1944. By Winter, 1943 the whole of southern Italy was in Allied hands, and the Allied armies stood facing the Volturno Line, the first of a series of prepared defensive lines running across Italy. It took until mid-January 1944 to fight through the Volturno, Barbara and Bernhardt lines to reach the Gustav Line, the backbone of the Winter Line defenses, setting the scene for the four battles of Monte Cassino which took place between January and May 1944.
