Points forts

Itinéraire

1. 1

   In the early hours of 22 January 1944 a convoy of 374 ships disembarked the 1st British Division on the coast running from Tor Caldara to Tor San Lorenzo just north of Anzio, while the 3rd American Division landed on the beaches between Nettuno and Torre Astura, named Peter Beach and X Ray Beach by the Allied forces.

   On January 22, 1944, at 2AM, the fleet of the 6th Allied Army Corps, under the orders of General John Porter Lucas, equipped with 253 amphibious units and 140 war units, the landing on the coast of Nettuno and Anzio began. A massive military operation that turned out to be far more difficult than expected. The landing of Anzio - Nettuno, also known as Operation Shingle, was remembered as one of the most dramatic phases of the Second World War fought on Italian territory. The idea was to bypass the German defense line Gustav - which blocked the advance a little further south, near Cassino - and free Rome.
