		According to the international official histories the real Gothic Line offensive ends with the end of the battle of Rimini, on Sept. 30.
		The Gothic Line offensive starts again with " the battle of rivers' in preparation of the "Operation Gelignite" which should have driven the Americans beyond Bologna whilst the British should have landed in Dalmatia.

	Gothic Line - Definition, explanation
		The Gothic Line also known as Linea Gotica was Field Marshall Albert Kesselring's last line of defence along the top of the Apennines during the retreat of Nazi Germany's forces from Italy in the final stage of World War II, and came into being as a result of one of the war's greatest missed opportunities.

		The Gothic Line, also known as Linea Gotica, formed Field Marshal Albert Kesselring's last major line of defence in the final stages of World War II along the summits of the Apennines during the fighting retreat of Nazi Germany's forces in Italy against the Allied Armies in Italy commanded by General Sir Harold Alexander.
		The Gothic Line was breached on both the Adriatic and the central Apennine fronts during the autumn of 1944, but Kesselring's forces were consistently able to retire in good order, and no decisive breakthrough was achieved.
		In the front line facing Clark's forces were 5 Divisions of General Joachim Lemelsen's Fourteenth Army (20th Luftwaffe Field Division, 16th S.S. Panzer Grenadier Division, 65th and 362nd Infantry Divisions and the 4th Parachute Division) and two divisions on the western end of Heinrich von Vietinghoff's Tenth Army (356th and 715th Infantry Divisions).

	Lone Sentry: Unit History: 91st Infantry Division (Ch. IV: The Gothic Line Campaign)
		Overlooking Il Giogo Pass, it was the left bastion of the heavily fortified Il Giogo defense area and constituted the anchor for the rest of the Gothic Line in the Division sector.
		The section of the Gothic Line in the sector against which the 361st attacked, although very heavily fortified, was not prepared in depth and was very difficult to supply.
		Although the collapse of the enemy lines in the 362nd sector was not so spectacular as it was in the 361st sector, Hill 896 was captured the next day, and by the morning of 21 September Company A had reached the Santerno and had set up machine guns trained on Futa Pass.

	Irish Journal Of Gothic and Horror Studies: Irish Gothic Jarlath Killeen
		Roy Foster’s explanation of the Irish Gothic persuasively links politics, religion and culture, and his depiction of the Protestant Irish as a cultural group obsessed with their own impending extermination and determined to find methodologies by which to circumvent such an annihilation by escape into other realms of power is certainly convincing.
		The Gothic ambivalence highlighted by Todorov was irresistible for such pathological prevaricators and perfectly represented the hesitancy of the Anglo-Irish between an ‘English’ realist embracing of the technological, the future, the rational, and an ‘Irish’ Catholic superstitiousness, anachrony, atavism.
		However, despite this Gothicisation of the traditional, there remained a sense of attachment to this recent past, and a fear that in rejecting it something of the sublime might be lost and Ireland could find itself in a cosmopolitan banality.

		If the developers at Piranha Bytes had a nickel for every time someone looked at their Gothic series of titles and asked what made them so different from the Elder Scrolls games, they would probably be able to build a small fortress utilizing many PlayStation 3's as a foundation.
		Since the original Gothic, developing a believable set of NPCs has been one of the development team's top priorities, and with Gothic 3, the level of immersion has heightened significantly to a point well beyond what can be seen in Oblivion.
		Gothic 3 doesn't have to do much to beat Oblivion, the Gothic series has always outshined it.

		In the last week of August 1944, the entire Canadian Corps began its attack on the Gothic Line with the objective of capturing Rimini.
		The announcement was premature for the enemy recovered quickly, reinforced the Adriatic defence by moving divisions from other lines and thus, slowed the advance to Rimini to bitter, step-by-step progress.
		Five kilometres south of the Conca, the forward troops came under fire from the German 1st Parachute Division, while heavy fighting was developing on the Coriano Ridge to the west.

		It was clear from the first day's fighting that extensive use of mortars and machine guns would be necessary if any marked advances were to be made, and when General Livesay visited the Regimental Command Post late in the day, he ordered Col. Broedlow, to "Fire all the ammunition you can haul."
		Replacements for the enemy were brought up as early as 13 September, but they were adequate neither in numbers or in combat training.
		Thus the Regiment stabilized its lines overlooking the Santerno River.

		This plan was accepted by Clark who imposed, however, to extend his command to the British 13th Army Corps of General Sidney Kirkman (the 13th Army Corps was deployed on the Arno Line, between the 5th and the 8th Armies).
		Considerable casualties and losses of materials suffered as a consequence of the Green Line 1 breach, as well as the pressure imposed by the Canadian rush, had put the LXXVI Panzerkorps Command in full crisis.
		This decision, based on a gross understatement of the actual status of the enemy's defensive system, left the Germans free to hit with their artilleries the columns of tanks proceeding along the river Conca valley.

		There were fairly common in Italy's defenses for the Gothic Line and very effective from what I've read.

		Only these two cities remained before the last grand assault of the Battle of Italy could be begun—the attack on the German Gothic Line in the high Appenines.
		Clark's Fifth Army sidestepped fantastically thick mine fields on the Tyrrhenian coast by swinging in its shock troops, including Hawaiian-Japanese (see ARMY and NAVY) from the east, forced the Germans to pull out.

	The Gothic Revival: Introduction
		The reasons why Gothic, alone of the Early Victorian styles developed into a fully-fledged success are complex, but one major factor was the influence of Pugin himself, both as a passionate propagandist, a designer of genius, and an archaeologist who could breathe life into the dry bones of antiquarian discoveries.
		Burges 's decanters and his tulip-vases present to some extent a metallic and ceramic equivalent to the furniture style of 1862, but their real importance is as splendid examples of his personal mixture of imagination and archaeology at its most rich and enjoyable.
		The Gothic style of secular decoration was a minority taste, and around 1870 it began to fade out, except in the work of Burges and a few others (its moral authority in the ecclesiological field continued to hold sway for much longer).

		The new line generally consisted of a series of fortified passes and mountaintops, some fifteen to thirty miles in depth north of the Arno River and stretched east from the Ligurian Sea through Pisa, Florence, and beyond.
		Axis forces, having successfully held the Gothic Line through the fall and early winter, also used the lull to rest and refit, sending two divisions, the 356th Infantry and 16th SS Panzergrenadier, to reinforce their Hungarian and Western fronts, respectively.
		The Allies attacked the Gothic Line in the fall of 1944 with hopes of a quick breakthrough and the rapid destruction of Axis armies on the plains of the Po Valley.

		On their right flank, advancing along the Adriatic coast was the II Polish Corps while to their left, in the rugged terrain forming the mountainous central spine of Italy, the British Army's V Corps positioned itself for the advance.
		The allied advance had caught the Germans by surprise and in the advance they had chased the retreating German forces relentlessly, not stopping to consolidate defensive positions during the advance in teh hope that the Germans could be kept off balance as the reeled back fom the Allied onslaught.
		In this way it was hoped that the 8th Army could "bounce" the Gothic Line defence line before retreating and reinforcing German forces could establish themselves in it.

		Alexander's original plan was to storm the Gothic Line in the centre, where most of his forces were already concentrated.
		In the front line facing Clark's forces were 5 Divisions of General Joachim Lemelsen's Fourteenth Army (20th Luftwaffe Field Division, 16th S.S. Panzer Grenadier Division, 65th and 362nd Infantry Divisions and the 4th Parachute Division) and two divisions on the western end of Heinrich von Vietinghoff's Tenth Army (356th and 715th Infantry Divisions).
