	Operation Shingle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the end of 1943, following the Allied invasion of Italy Allied forces were bogged down at the Winter Line, a defensive line across Italy south of the psychologically important objective of Rome.
		The American commanders in particular were determined that nothing should delay the Normandy invasion and the supporting landings in southern France (Operation Dragoon).
		The 1st Division penetrated 3 km inland, the Rangers captured Anzio's port, the 509th PIB captured Nettuno, and the 3rd Division penetrated 5 km inland.

		The proposed beachhead was bounded in the north by the Moletta and Incastro Rivers, in the center by open fields leading to the villages of Padiglione and Aprilia along the Anzio-Albano Road, and in the south by the villages of Cisterna and Littoria, a provincial capital, and the Mussolini Canal.
		The Anzio beachhead became a honeycomb of wet and muddy trenches, foxholes, and dugouts.
		Anzio failed to be the panacea the Allies sought.

	ANZIO: 1944
		The Anzio plan was temporarily shelved, but when General Eisenhower was reassigned to Operation OVERLORD in early January 1944, he relinquished command of Allied forces in the Mediterranean to General Sir Henry M. Wilson, after which the British view dominated planning.
		By 1 February the port of Anzio was in full operation and improved air defenses had reduced the effectiveness of constant Luftwaffe sorties against the beachhead.
		Anzio did not achieve its initial objectives to outflank the Gustav Line and lead to the capture of Rome.

		In an effort to break the stalemate, the invasion of Anzio was planned to outflank both the Gustav and Adolf Hitler lines.
		At Anzio, the German radio-controlled ballistic bombs and the radio-controlled glider bombs were entering their peak period of use.
		Initial battle plans had called for the paratroopers to be parachuted behind enemy lines to secure such objectives as the Cisterna Crossroads and Rail yards on L or D-Day; but, plans were cancelled before the Anzio invasion began; when the British protested against the idea; and the Paratroopers came ashore with the Infantry; instead.

		However, the defense of the invasion at Salerno was so intense at one point that the general in charge, General Mark Clark, had to arm as infantry two artillery battalions, the regimental band, all the HQ orderlies, and the cooks in order to avoid getting surrounded by the Germans at the Battle of Ponte Bruciato.
		In this invasion Wendell's regiment was assigned to reinforce three ranger battallions as part of the 6615 Ranger Force.
		Anzio is located 30 miles south of Rome, the objective of this operation.

		Paul commented that he was tired of Tom Oleson, Bob Ryan and Mike Sincavage winning the Anzio plaques, so he decided to quit the GM position in order to concentrate on playing and kicking their butts.

		In the American and British invasion of Anzio, Italy, on 22 January 1944, the Allies in Major General (MG) John P. Lucas' VI Corps quickly lost the initiative to the surrounding German units.
		The invasion of Anzio occurred on 22 January when the US VI Corps landed the American 3d Infantry Division and the British 1st Infantry Division on the Anzio-Nettuno beachhead.
		With the conflict at Anzio in a stalemate, the various branches of the Allied forces began to adapt their doctrine to match the changed style of war.

		The historical marker that Anzio was fated to become had first been thrashed out in November and December 1943 and the answer was that there would be no Anzio in the context of Allied World War II Mediterranean history.
		On the beginning of the third day of the assault at Anzio, the heavy duty fire support ship remaining there was the USS Brooklyn, and her skipper, Captain R.W. Cary (yes, the skipper survivor on Savannah at Salerno) again became the gunfire support commander for Anzio.
		At Anzio, the German radio-controlled ballistic bombs and the radio-controlled glider bombs were entering their prime period of use.

	General Lucas at Anzio
		The beaches near Anzio, thirty-five miles due south of Rome, were suitable for amphibious landings, and the open terrain of the low, relatively level coastal plain around Anzio was favorable for maneuver.
		According to General Clark, the Anzio landing was to "exercise a decisive influence in the operation to capture Rome." [9] The purpose of the amphibious venture was to outflank the enemy positions then established along the Garigliano and Rapido Rivers, some sixty miles south of Anzio.
		The attack was to begin on 12 January and to culminate on 20 January in a thrust by the II Corps across the Rapido in the shadow of the enemy-held height of Monte Cassino.

		He was pleased they had been at Anzio, for at least, he felt, his superiors had seen the desperate nature of the fighting and could appreciate the rapidity of the German buildup opposite the VI Corps.
		The Anzio force could have advanced to the Alban Hills the first day or two, he was sure, but the force would then have been in a bad way without a concurrent Allied breakthrough on the main front.
		Yet it would seem that Allied hesitation on the Anzio shore came from an appreciation of German invincibility that was little more than an apparition bred of doubt and uncertainty both before and during the operation, a myth to explain afterward a course of events that seemed inevitable because it happened that way.
