T1IE ITNAL PHASES
QURING the withdrawal of
troops for ANVIL, one Amer-
ican division, the 91st, had arrived
to reinforge the Fifth Army. On
15 September a combat team of
the Brazilian Expeditionary Force
moved into the Fifth Army line
in the Valley of the Serchio River.
Befere the end of autumn the en-
tire Brazilian division was in the
line. During this same period one
of t’.e Army’s two Negro divi-
sions, the 92d, which had reached
Italy during the late summer and
fall, was assigned to the IV Corps.
The advances had brought Gen-
eral Alexander's Allied armies up
against the “Gothic Line,” an
elaborate transpeninsular defense
system which the Germans had
been preparing since early in the
year. Despite the heavy diversion
of troops to other theaters it was
decided to launch another gen-
eral offensive on 10 September for
the purpose of breaking through
the Apennines into the Po Valley.
While the U. S Fifth Army as-
saulted the Gothic Line frontally
through lh<- mountain-. Ihe Brit-
ish Eighth Army, now commanded
by Lt. Gen. Sir R L. McCreery
attacked northwest from Rimini.
This offensive involved our troops
in some of the bitterest and most
difficult fighting of the Italian
campaign. The jagged Apennines
and bad weather seemed almost
insurmountable obstacles.
After three months of this
Honing and selling cars with
tires as a side-line.
A pretty girl acts as a “s|Kii-
ter" of prospective cars and
double.- as a tip-off girl. The sol-
dier says she recruited gang
members through flirtations.
Arrest of other members of
the,gang is expected today.

Secret Reinforcements
In January the Fifth Army was
reinforced by the 10th U. S. Moun-
tain Division which gave a fine
exhibition of battle efficiency on
its initial employment. During the
winter, three Italian combat
groups entered the line of the
Eighth Army. These small gains
were more than offset by a Feb-
ruary directive from the Com-
bined Chiefs of Staff which ord-
ered the transfer of five British
and Canadian divisions to the
European Theater. The directive
was later amended 'o send three
to France, one to the eastern
Mediterranean, and retain one di-
vision in Italy for possible use in
the impending final battle. This
movement of more than 125,000
combat troops was accomplished
in complete secrecy and gave
Marshal Montgomery's Northern
Army Group on the Rhine addi-
tional power to the surprise of
the enemy.
During the fall and winter
months, the Tactical and Strategic
Air Forces pounded away at com-
munications over the Alps and in
Northern Italy. With opposing
ground forces so nearly equal in
strength, the Air Forces repre-
sented our margin of advantage
and made tlie maintenance of
German forces in Northern Italy
most difficult while our own was
unmolested. In addition, Italy-
based aircraft assisted the Yugo-
slav patriots. Closely coordinated
Willi the attacks staged from Brit-
ain, the Strategic Air Forces struck
heavy blows at oil and rail targets
in Austria and southern Germany,
averaging weekly bombings of
nearly 4,000 tons.
Ground action on the Italian
front in the late winter was lim-
ited to small but important ad-
vances in tlie mountains southwest
of Bologna. The .strategic aircraft
kept up tlie pressure on communi-
cations and industrial targets be-
yond tlie Alps, reaching as far
north os Berlin.
On 9 April, General Clark’s
Fifteenth Army Group launched
its spring drive, known as opera-
tion CRAPE SHOT. The Eighth
Army led olf with an attack across
the Scnio River west of Ravenna.
In spite of unusually heavy air
and artillery preparation, the of-
fensive met tiff opposition from
the German Tenth Army in ap-
proaching the Argenta Gap. Five
days later, after the enemy had
presumably had time to dispose
himsr if to meet the Eighth Army
attack, the II and IV Corps of the [ ish soldiers.

of the Gothic Line, the Allied com-
mand prepared in December to

ngainsV 'he western flank of the
Fifth Army and diversion of
Eighth Army units to meet the
political crisis in Greece disrupted
these plans. Meanwhile the Ger-
mans had time to relit and
strengthen their forces and estab-
lish a new defensive position.
On 12 December 1944 Field
Marshal Alexander replaced Gen.
Sir Henry Maitland Wilson as
Supreme Commander in the Medi-
terranean area. General Wilson
was promoted to Field Marshal
and senior representative in Wash-
ington *f Ihe British Chiefs of
Staff. I.*. Gen. Mark W. Clark

in the Apetin$j(Mr tiouth and south
west of Bologna,1
Resistance Collapses Everywhere
After a week of heavy fighting
our troops broke into the Po Val-
ley and entered Bologna from the
west and south. At the same time,
Polish forces of the Eighth Army
entered the city from the east.
The Fifth Army columns beyond
the city swept up the great high-
way leading to Piacenza—the an-
cient Via Emilia—and, by-passing
Modena to the east, drove toward
the Po south' of Mantua. Pursuing
the disorganized enemy to the
river, bridgeheads were quickly
established across the Po on 23
April. The Eighth Army met de-
termined resistance In Ferrara, but
by the 25th had crossed the Po in
force. On the same day, our forces
on the Ligurian Coast captured
La Spezia with its naval base. The
German armies were virtually de-
stroyed south of the Po, the bulk
of their equipment being either
destroyed or abandoned.
The final week of the war in
Italy brought wide advances
throughout northern Italy. Bridg-
ing many river that flow south
from the Alps, the Eighth Army
swept northeast along the Adri-
atic coastal pluin, liberating Padua,
Venice, and Treviso. While Fifth
Army infantry and mountain
troops drove into the foothills of
Ihe Alps along the Brenner route,
other armored columns and mo-
torized infantry raced up the val-
ley of tlie Po and by 29 April had
reached the great city of Milan.
On every side effective support
was received from the Italian
patriots'. After seizing Geneo, our
Ligurian forces drove beyond
Savona to make contact with tlie
French. Advance elements of the
442d Japanese-American regiment
reached Turin. Resistance col-
lapsed everywhere; more than
160,000 prisoners were taken by
the Allied armies. By tlie first of
May, Eighth Army troops advanc-
ing on Trieste had made contact
with Yugoslav partisans at Mon-
falcone. On 2 May 1945 tlie com-
mander of the German armies in
Northern Italy found il impossible
to continue the bloody struggle
and capitulated.
The Italian triumph is a striking
demonstration of the solidarity of
the United Nations. Fighting under
the Fifteenth Army Group, at
some time during the Italian cam-
paign, were Americans, British,
Canadians, French, New Zealand-
ers, South Africans, Poles, Indians,
Brazilians, Italians, Greeks, Mo-
roccans. Algerians, Arabs. Goums,
Senegalese, and a brigade of Jew-
