22 Jan 1944 Jahr - Beginning of the Battle of Anzio

Beschreibung:

At this point in time, most Italians hated Mussolini, and he was the most hated man in Italy. The king arrested him, but the Germans took control of Northern Italy and placed him in power again. The Germans got ready to defend the town of Cassino. Instead of attacking Cassino, whose terrain was steep, barren and rocky, the allies landed behind enemy lines in Anzio.
