Thank you for today's thread. I was somewhat familiar with this battle, mostly based on the decision to bomb Monte Cassino from the air, and the debate it caused.
I was woefully unaware of who the foot soldier were and just how hard it was to acheive these goals.

Your're welcome Johnny. The Abbey Bombing was a very controversial decision. From what I've read, the Germans did not use the Abbey until after the bombing.
