	Operation Shingle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Operation Shingle (January 22, 1944), during the Italian Campaign of World War II, was an Allied amphibious landing against Axis forces in the area of Anzio and Nettuno, Italy.
		The operation was commanded by Major General John P. Lucas and was intended to outflank German forces of the Winter Line and enable an attack on Rome.
		The operation was officially cancelled on December 18, 1943.

		Operation HUSKY was the largest landing prior to the Nomandy Invasion.
		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.
		Originally, this operation was called ANVIL but the name was changed because it was believed the German’s had discovered the significance of the code word.

	General Lucas at Anzio
		As part of a drive on Rome, an amphibious operation south of Rome was to be directed on the Alban Hills; combined with a frontal assault on the main enemy line, the landing threatening the enemy rear was to dispossess the Germans of the last defensive position on the southern approaches to Rome.
		SHINGLE gained a new lease on life on 10 December when General Clark suggested, despite little prospect of reaching in the near future positions from which to support a landing at Anzio, that the amphibious landing be mounted nevertheless.
		General Lucas first learned of SHINGLE in late December 1943, when General Clark informed him that the VI Corps would be relieved of responsibility for its front so that the corps staff and the units assigned could plan and train for the operation.

		But the story that has been overlooked is the naval aspect of the operation, which was a resounding success.
		On the 50th anniversary of the Anzio landings, the office of the Chief of Naval Operations released a statement reading, in part: "A half-century ago American, British, Dutch and Greek naval forces landed soldiers of the American and British armies on the Italian coast.

		Despite the opinion of the theater G-2 who opposed the operation on the basis that the Germans were too strong-the "seamier side of the question," as Mr.
		To implement the strategic intent of the operation, the force scheduled to land far behind the enemy front had to be of sufficient strength not only to provoke a desired reaction but also to sustain itself independently until the main Allied forces followed up the expected German withdrawal and made contact with the enveloping force.
		From a subsidiary operation on the left flank of a nearby Fifth Army, the Anzio landing had developed into a major operation deep in the enemy rear.

		The invasion of Sicily, codenamed Operation Husky, the landings at Salerno, codenamed Operation Avalanche and the landings at Anzio, codenamed Operation Shingle.
		In Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, the Axis player must plan carefully in order to extract the best possible performance from some less than committed Italian troops, while the Allied player must somehow find a way around or through the many natural defensive obstacles in their way.
		Operation Shingle, the Anzio landing, was a bold Allied move to break the stalemate caused by the strength of German defensive lines.

	Shoreham harbour and Sussex Coast environmental protection and shingle recycling
		There is a natural process of shingle movement along the Sussex coast from west to east, which results in the build up of approximately 15,000 cubic metres of shingle annually at the east end of Shoreham Beach, where its progress is blocked by the west breakwater.
		The shingle bypassing operation is supported by the South Downs Shoreline Management Plan and by the two coastal defence strategies that define the needs for sea defence improvements between the River Arun and Brighton Marina.
		In order to counter the erosion effect and to avoid shingle being lost over the terminal groyne, Shoreham Port undertakes shingle recycling operations as and when required, but typically, every four or five years, whereby shingle is excavated from the terminal groyne area and transported back to the western end, filling in areas of erosion.

		In the ETO, Operation Overlord, the cross-channel invasion planned for the spring of 1944, demanded men, equipment, and supplies unequaled in the history of warfare.
		Operation Shingle was designed as a knock-out blow to the German forces defending the Gustav Line by landing troops on the beaches of Anzio, a little town thirty- three miles south of Rome on the Tyrrhenian Sea and sixty miles behind the German line of defense.
		The success of Operation Shingle would de- pend initially on its shock effect, but overall only a fast buildup of men and supplies, faster than Kesselring would reinforce his own troops and supplies, would guarantee the operation.

	What were the Roles and Capabilities of Allied Airpower during the Italian Campaign
		Despite this debate, many of the assumptions used in planning modern joint and combined military operations have their foundations in the Italian campaign, especially the roles and contributions of airpower to joint warfighting.
		Subsequent operations on the Italian mainland would further prove the ability of a determined army on the defensive to continue fighting regardless of air interdiction, much like the Viet Cong would during Operation ROLLING THUNDER.
		Operational Analysis of fighter-bomber support for British V Corps operations in Italy between October and December 1944 showed 100 fighter-bomber attacks (equal to about 500 sorties) equated to 60-90 fewer troops killed and 200-300 fewer wounded by German artillery shellfire.

		OPERATION OVERLORD, the upcoming Normandy invasion, was the top priority at this time and naval resources were rapidly being shifted away from the Mediterranean to the British Isles.
		Generals and admirals not directly involved in an invasion would often appear on the scene uninvited, when there was no longer much physical danger, just to pick up another campaign ribbon or battle star—and to view the action as a spectator from a safe distance.
		Toward the end of SHINGLE the atmosphere became so relaxed that the CHAMPLIN's popular Recreation Officer, Ensign Norman Glass, was able to organize a swimming party for the crew off the ship's fantail during an extended period of "White Anzio".

	H-Net Review: Paul G. Halpern on With Utmost Spirit: Allied Naval Operations in the Mediterranean, 1942-1945
		Tomblin's objective is to restore these Mediterranean operations to their proper place as important stepping stones along the Allied road to victory and equally important lessons in conducting amphibious operations.
		The bulk of the book focuses on five major amphibious operations: Operation "Torch" (the landings in North Africa); Operation "Husky" (the landings in Sicily); Operation "Avalanche" (the landings at Salerno in southern Italy); Operation "Shingle" (the landings at Anzio); and Operation "Dragoon" (the landings in Provence).
		She includes citations from many British reports of proceedings that are housed in the American archives, but her reliance on these raises the question of what information the Americans did not receive, and omits the revealing personal letters or comments on Admiralty dockets that are sometimes included with the originals.

		One cannot forget ever the drama, heroism and suffering, or the 8868 officers and men of my 1st Infantry Division who were killed, wounded and missing in the crucible that was Anzio.

		Consequently the history of the invasion of France and the subsequent beach operations which permitted Allied troops to burst from their bridgehead and advance east is long and complicated.
		What follows is a record of the training of American troops in Great Britain for the landing operation, the preliminary assault landings in the Mediterranean, the mounting of American troops for the Normandy landings, the beach assault, and the establishing and operating of the two American beaches in France—OMAHA and UTAH.
		It should be taken as an indication of the effect that the Mediterranean operations had upon planning and training for the Normandy operation.

		This operation had already been under consideration for several weeks and had been postponed or discarded on previous occasions because the troops and shipping believed necessary to success had not been available'.
		It is interesting to note the short time allowed for the planning, training, and mounting of Operation "Shingle" an amphibious landing, the most complex of all military operations.
		Later beachhead operations showed that these defenses could be penetrated only by overwhelming them from the front in a series of violent, carefully coordinated attacks against forward positions.
