Historical Background:
Spring 1944, Allied troops were blocked in front of the Gustav line, particularly with a third setback at Cassino. In May,following the plans of operation Diadem, the French Expeditionary Corps in Italy (CEF), under the command of General Juin, attacked through the Aurunci mountains. The objective was to breakthrough German lines of the 71.Infanterie Division and to exploit further by surrounding enemy troops on the Gustav line. But the German defensive line was particularly formidable : the village of Castelforte and Mounts Faito, Garofano, Feuci and Majo were changed in impregnable fortresses full of bunkers with machine guns, minefields, barbed wire and flame throwers. Moroccan soldiers of the 2nd Moroccan Infantry Division had to assault during the night. After three days of close combat,heroism and sacrifice, soldiers of the CEF succeeded to breakthrough the enemy lines. Once Monte Feuci was in French hands, German Commander ordered to his troops to withdraw. It was the end of the Gustav line and the end of the excessive defence of Monte Cassino.
