From The Volturno To The Winter Line PDF Download

Originally prepared by the War Department in 1944, Volturno was based on the best military records available. After Fifth Army, commanded by Lt. Gen Mark W. Clark, had established the Salerno beachhead and captured Naples, it pushed the Germans northward across the Volturno River and into the mountain defenses of the Winter Line.

Closely related actions of the British 10 Corps, Fifth Armys left flank, and of the British Eighth Army, operating on the Adriatic coast, are summarized briefly.
