The Italian Campaign featuring Salerno, Anzio & Monte Cassino
Following the landings at Salerno in September 1943 during Operation Avalanche, Winston Churchill saw Italy as the ‘soft under-belly’ of the Third Reich. However, it became a costly WW2 battlefield with thousands of casualties involving iconic battles like the landings at Anzio and the fighting for Monte Cassino. We see the role of troops from many nations, including a visit to the Polish Cemetery at Cassino and the huge sacrifice made by the Indian Army. Amazing terrain and fascinating battlefield sites.
