Episode 129: Destination, Rome!
from World War II Chronicles Hosted by Radio America
The war of attrition in Italy continued during early 1944. After failed frontal assaults, the Allied commanders accepted the wisdom of a flanking movement. North African troops of the French Corps fought their way through seemingly impassable mountains, and by May 17, seized ground near German positions on Monte Cassino. Allied forces staged a breakout at Anzio on May 23.
