How fortunate I speak Italian! Great site!

 

Hi Andreas !

Question, can you send them an e-mail and see if they will kindly do their pages in English, or maybe they are going to soon ? Also am I assuming the articles are from newspaper resources...... ? There appears to be a couple of nice ones on Foltin and the Sherman's death ride up Cavendesh road.

Danke

Thanks for this link Erich--you made my day much better (I had a VERY lousy day at work)

 

While my Italian is limited, this is a great site. Thanks for letting us know about it.

Can anyone recommend some other web sites for the Italian campaign?

 

Here are several more links to Cassino story only. As to other Italien campaign battles, Yes I would love to have the links....... !

I think the last one also incleds some materials on the Sicilian campaign.

I am also trying to pry info from a former Fallschirm tropper who fought through Sicily and at the bay of Messina before his withdrawl over the ocean to southern France.

Erich--when you get the chance--check out the B-25 Bomber posting--you will love it...

 

No-one ever seems to mention the 'Gothic Line'.

There is a book ( 'The Gothic Line' by Douglas Orgill ) and an interesting 'amateur' website by Mario Paesani at : -

Worth a look.

Well, I will check all of them out!

I think singing baroque Italian opera should help, shouldn't it?

 

I would say so Friedrich and now you can trranslate it for me???

 

You have not mentioned our site below. It not only includes all the Italian campaigns but those in North Africa and Sicily as well. There are original photographs, a virtual museum, maps and a forum as well.

Best

Mike

 

it might be the best bet that you look at how old the posts are before you place a posting.....please note your reply was to a post from 2002 as I never heard of your site at that time, also the site I placed on this very thread were dealing with Monte Cassino only not the rest of the MTO

regardo's to you in England from the Sphere

 

Other Monte Cassino web-sites:
The Polish Soldier & Monte Cassino
Battle of Monte Cassino

Of the old (2002) websites mentioned above, Gemmano 1944. Part 1 : the Gothic Line and the Operation Olive still works.
- but most of the others listed are down now. sigh (Edit note Thanks re following post Erich.)

 

Greg Way on the eagle 19 site had talked with me over a year ago about taking his excellent Fallshirmjäger down for a time to do a total revamp. I have copied the pages from the "German point of view", a very nice brief, some 3-4 page synopsis with compact and yet detailed info. A person could always seek out member sommercourts today battle series web-site with Monte Cassino battlefield well included with some wonderful photos....

 

While we are updating Italy related sites, since I last posted on this thread I have my own Italy section now:
