Overview:

As the initial expansion of the Allied beachhead at Anzio drew to a halt, the inevitable counterattacks began. The main attacks concentrated on the Albano-Anzio highway around the village of Carroceto and the Aprilia farm settlement known to the Allies as “the factory”. The factory finally fell to the Germans on the 9th after repeated attacks. Realizing the importance of this position, the Allied command ordered a counterattack by the U.S. 45th Infantry Division.
Attacker: American (1st Battalion, 179th Infantry Regiment and 191st Tank Battalion)
Defender: German (735th regiment, 715th Division)
