My 94 years & 11 months old father, was a Captain with the 45th (157th Regiment) at Anzio, having gone AWOL from hospital recuperation to rejoin his outfit. Strange how he never mentioned this particular difficulty with a Disney Cartoon!

FYI for a good read on the 45th Inf.Div. (National Guard CO/NM/OK), look for the "Rock of Anzio" by Flint Whitlock.

Small world.

My 88-year-old dad was there too - with the 34th I.D. (mostly Iowa) in a Combat Engineer unit.
