Historical Background:
On the 14th of September, the Germans launched a new attack against US forces with the objective to reach the seaside and to drive back the Allies to the sea. Two Kampfgruppe with a mix of infantry and tanks, attacked along the Sele river from the tobacco factory and Persano. To the US side, it was the last line of defense before the sea, they had to hold it . So they took all means to stop the German advance, anti-tank guns, field artillery, tanks, tanks-destroyers and the naval artillery. The Germans were stopped, when their last tanks were destroyed, the infantry withdrew to the factory. Two days later, the Germans stopped definitively their attack against the Salerno bridgehead and withdrew to the Volturno river.
