Название: Cassino to the Alps Автор: Ernest F. Fisher Издательство: Center of Military History United States Army Год: 1993 Формат: PDF Страниц: 625 Размер: 40,4 МБ Язык: Английский From September 1943, when Allied troops came ashore near Salerno, until German surrender in May 1945, 312,000 Allied soldiers were killed, wounded, or missing in Italy. Was a campaign that from the first faced the bleak prospect of coming to a dead end against the forbidding escarpment of the Alps worth that cost? Was the objective of tying down German troops to avoid their commitment in northwestern Europe all that the campaign might have accomplished? The answers to those questions have long been sought but, as is the nature of history, must forever remain conjecture. What is established bet, as this volume makes clear, is the tenacity and intrepidity displayed by American and Allied soldiers in the face of a determined and resourceful enemy, harsh weather, sharply convoluted terrain, limited numbers, and indefinite goals in what many of them must have looked upon as a backwater of the war.
