		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		Some of the forces which should have taken part were withdrawn for the landing in France, so we never had enough troops to hold both the beachhead and the Colle Laziale, which dominated the beachhead from a few miles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.
