My dad still hasn’t gotten over Montecassino. And he to this day remembers the young German soldiers breaking down in tears as they went to die on the front.
Sorta tempered my otherwise rah-rah attitude about WWII.
But we all owe a debt of gratitude to your dad and all the others who battled every inch of that mess and then gave it all back to the Italians.
How is it that the Italians and Italy escape being identified as part of the Nazi war machine, and Hitler allies?
Somehow Italy has disappeared from WWII almost entirely.
