The Battle of Monte Cassino is an interesting war because the only German force to confront the incredible allies of the Allies was the 1Fallschirmjagerdivison (XIVPzKps, 10Armee) under the command of General Richard Heydrich. There were soldiers from many nations, from the Americans to the British, from the Indians to the Poles.The town of Monte Cassino and its cathedrals (built in 529 AD) were located in the 90-kilometer-high field of Rome. In this case, the owners of 112Tepe and 112Tepe in Monte Cassino controlled the surrounding areas.
The first offensive of the war was on the Rapido River of the 34th and 36th Infantry divisions of the American 2 Corps, and the 10 Corps on the Internet approached the Garigliano River on January 22, 1944.The most tragic aspect of this war was the destruction of the historic cathedral and the conversion of the town of Monta Cassino into a rubble pile.
April 11, 1944 hell rained on the Germans 2000 pieces of cannon, began to bomb German positions The first allied unit against the German positions General Wladyslav Anders under the command of the 2Poland Corps of the town known as the cavalry heights were retreated to the French forces On April 16, 44, the Poles made a direct attack directly behind Cassino, and the Canadians joined the attack at this moment.

Kesselring, meanwhile, was aware of the split of the front line in Anzio and the situation in Cassino, and understood that more resistance was meaningless. 1 ordered them to retreat to Fallschirmjagerdivision. The next day the Poles entered the abandoned cathedral and waved their flags Only in the last four days clashes cost the Poles 860 deaths and 2800 wounded The Monte Cassino battle cost 4000 parachutists' lives but the allies of the paramilitary but the paraluti education costs are very high.
