Was a total disaster for the Germans.

Yes, thank you. I know of Operation Stosser. Von Der Hydte’s thrown-together force were badly mauled.

They didn’t fare so well earlier in the war in Crete, either. It was a victory, but a Pyrrhic victory for them.

But they were absolute HELL to dig out of the ruins of Monte Cassino.
