Didn't Hannibal march his war elephants over these mountains way back ?

Hannibal didn’t have to worry about a column of elephants being trapped by German bombers taking out a mountain pass.

Didn't Hannibal march his war elephants over these mountains way back ? Ya he did, but he didn't have any opposition when crossing the Alps. I doubt the Nazis would have extended the same courtesy. It was bad enough fighting in the Italian mountains on the way up the boot. Crossing the Alps against a skilled and determined enemy... that would be ugly.
