		It was the constant exposure to the rain, density of rotting corpses in the mud, constant shelling, duration of the battle, and vulnerability of every foot of the beachhead that caused so many cases of disease, and combat fatigue cases in Allied units.

		On the 50th anniversary of the Anzio landings, the office of the Chief of Naval Operations released a statement reading, in part: "A half-century ago American, British, Dutch and Greek naval forces landed soldiers of the American and British armies on the Italian coast.
		Everything depended upon two unlikely events: That the Anzio landing would catch the superior German forces completely by surprise and enable the invaders to quickly consolidate their position and capture the rail lines and highways providing the link to Rome.
		Typical of the intensity of the naval battle of Anzio was the sinking of the British cruiser SPARTAN on 29 January.

	Anzio
		Anzio played a vital role in the capture of Rome by giving me the means to employ a double-handed punch - from the beachhead and from Cassino - which caught the Germans in a pincer movement.
		Against a less formidable foe an operation such as we had devised would have succeeded; but I think we may well have underestimated the remarkable resilience and toughness of the Germans, in expecting them to be frightened by such a threat to their rear.
		Some of the forces which should have taken part were withdrawn for the landing in France, so we never had enough troops to hold both the beachhead and the Colle Laziale, which dominated the beachhead from a few miles inland.
