	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Gustav Line
		The Gustav Line, during World War II, was a series of German military fortifications, constructed by Organisation Todt, which ran from just north of where the Garigliano flows into the Tyrrhenian, to the mouth of the Sangro on the Adriatic.
		Following the crossing of the Garigliano, on January 17, 1944, by the British X Corps[?], Generalfeldmarschall Kesselring[?] reinforced the Gustav Line with the 29th[?] and 90th Panzergrenadier divisions[?] (which had been in Rome).
		At the time of Operation Shingle (1944), the Gustav Line was commanded by General Heinrich von Vietinghoff of the 10th Armee[?].

		In the beginning of 1944 the Gustav Line was being anchored by Germans holding the Rapido, Liri and Garigliano valleys and certain surrounding peaks and ridges, but not the historic abbey of Monte Cassino, founded in 524 AD by St.
		Although in the east the Winter Line had been breached on the British 8th Army's Adriatic front and Ortona captured, the advance had ground to a halt with the onset of winter blizzards at the end of December making movement in the jagged terrain and close air support impossible.
		Running across the Allied line of advance was the fast flowing River Rapido which rose in the central Apennine mountains, flowed through Cassino and across the entrance to the Liri valley (where the Liri joined the Rapido) after which its name changed to the River Gari (or Garigliano) and it continued to the sea.

		But Kesselring had high hopes for the Gustav Line and promised Hitler that these positions could be held for at least six months, blocking the entrance of the Fifth Army into the Liri Valley, the most direct route to Rome.
		In the south, on the main line of resistance, the remaining portions of the Fifth Army would draw German forces away from Anzio by attacking and taking the territory before the Rapido and Garigliano rivers.
		The success of the initial crossings, however, and their potential to breach the Gustav Line, stunned the German XIV Panzer Corps commander, Generalleutnant Fridolin von Senger und Etterlin, who knew that his recently arrived 94th Infantry Division on the Garigliano could not contain the British force alone.

		As long as the line was maintained it prevented the Fifth Army from advancing into the Liri valley, the most logical and direct route to the major Allied objective of Rome.
		The assault on the Gustav Line, the lynch-pin of the Allied plan of which Anzio was a part, had bogged down.
		Although battered and exhausted, they managed to maintain a coherent line and were reinforced on 10 February by the 1st Armored Regiment, CCA, 1st Armored Division (itself at 50 percent strength), the 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion, the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, and the 179th and 157th regiments of the U.S. 45th Infantry Division.

		South of this line, the Commander-in-Chief South, Kesselring, was in charge ; the ground forces under his command comprised the slowly forming 10th Army under Colonel-General von Vietinghoff-Scheel with the XIV Panzer Corps and the LXXVII Panzer Corps.
		Moreover, the Gustav Line, with a length of 135 km, could be defended with fewer forces than the Gothic Line in the Apennines, which was prepared by Rommel, and psychologically the Gustav Line had the great advantage that it covered Rome.
		The main line of resistance itself did not form a continuous system of trenches as in the First World War, but was composed of a system of mutually supporting pockets of resistance, laid out like a chessboard and capable of conducting all-round defence.

		Determined to maintain their hold on Rome, the Germans constructed two formidable lines of fortifications, the Gustav Line, and 14.5 kilometres behind it, the Adolf Hitler Line.

		He was convinced that a landing behind the German lines would force them to abandon the formidable Gustav Line at Cassino and withdraw all of their forces north of Rome, possibly even as far as the Po valley.
		When his defensive line was set, he gave his forward units the permission to go forward that they had been trying for days to get from him.

		The Winter Line proved to be only a series of strongly held outposts a few miles in front of the heavily fortified Gustav Line, where the Germans planned to make their main stand.
		As long as the line of evacuation lay along a single highway, as in the first days of the breakout from the Salerno beachhead, it was possible to funnel casualties through one ambulance control point, where they were routed to the available evacuation hospitals in groups of fifty at a time.
		The outstanding veterinary problems of the Winter Line and Gustav Line campaigns were the care and rehabilitation of poor quality, poorly conditioned animals whose very physical debility increased their proneness to battle wounds, and the provision of feed adequate both in quantity and quality.

		General Heinrich von Vietinghoff, commanding the Gustav Line, called for reinforcements, and Kesselring transferred the 29th and 90th Panzergrenadier Divisions from Rome.

	Anzio, Italy, 1944
		When the German Gustav Line centered on Monte Cassino proved impenetrable, the Allies were forced to concede a plan to somehow bypass it.
		This attack on the Gustav Line caused many of the German reserves to move further south, and leave the Anzio sector practically unguarded.
		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.

	General Walker's Story of the Rapido Crossing
		To help assure success at Anzio, the forces along the Gustav Line were expected to do two things: tie down the Germans along this front and thus prevent them from interfering with the Anzio landings and drive overland to join as quickly as possible with the troops that had come ashore at Anzio.
		Elsewhere along the Gustav Line where the ground was mountainous, they needed fewer troops and weapons.
		Fifth Army's attack on the Gustav Line opened on 17 January, when British troops crossed the Garigliano near the coast and wrested a bridgehead from the relatively weak German 94th Division.

		The Gustav Line ran all the way from the eastern slope of Monte Cassino (including the south-west corner of Cassino town), then ran to Hills 165 and 593 and Massa Albaneta, Colle San Angelo, the western side of Monte Castellone, the S.

		The Gustav Line also ran along the Gari and Garigliano rivers in the south.
