	34th Infantry Division • Chapter XXIV • Smashing
		The Germans had not been idle during the winter, and had replaced the lack of concrete and steel by an abundance of alternate and reserve positions.
		German artillery, by then having recovered from the first shock of our attack, placed heavy and accurate fire on our advancing elements, on one occasion laying down a concentration of 150 rounds of [150 mm] fire on the churchyard alone.
		The left-hand neighbors of the 34th, the 91st Infantry Division, had in the meantime been meeting similar rugged opposition but had gallantly succeeded in reaching the base of the key hill of M. Arnigo, which they captured by assault on the evening of 18 April.

		Although rejected by the Coast Guard and the Navy in 1942 due to bad eyesight, Leon Weckstein was drafted into the army where it was discovered that he had an uncanny ability to perceive enemy movement and camouflage.
		Through My Eyes is Weckstein's personal account of his infantry days before, during, and shortly after the furiously fought battle for Italy.
		Though my father was in the 362nd Infantry and Leon was in the 363rd, their experiences were probably similar since the units were working on the same objectives as they fought to dislodge the Germans from town after town and from the mountain tops along Highway 65 in Italy.

		As a matter of fact, I'm having one hell of a time writing an updated version of my book for the Italian market, corresponding with a German paratrooper whose company had been fighting opposite my battalion at the very same gate of hell, Monticelli Mountain on the Gothic Line.
		The Germans I've personally met seem decent and regretful of Hitler's stupidity.
		Sure, be watchful, never forget the sixty-year-old avarice of a madman and what might happen in any chauvinistic dictatorship run amok, but I'm much happier not dwelling on that ancient idiocy.

		This book tells us about the men of the 91st Infantry Division and it does it magnificently.
		It also is a rare look at the "forgotten front," northern Italy, after most of the world's attention was on the action in western Europe.
		Read this book and you'll understand why Weckstein and others like him are called "the greatest genreration." They didn't like war or the military, but they had a job to do and they did it well.
