Overview:
The race to be the first to enter Rome was on. Equally urgent was the German race to evacuate the Eternal City. Hitler's order of an open city was not extended to the approaches to Rome where small groups of Fallschirmjagers, landsers, and panzers were cobbled together in an attempt to slow the Allied advance long enough to allow the Germans in Rome to evacuate northward. Even today, it is hard to determine exactly which Allied unit was the first to enter Rome, but one such claim goes to elements of Task Force Howze, comprised of a company of the 88th Division's reconnaissance battalion and the 1st Special Service Force.Attacker: American (TF Howze and 1st Special Services Force)
Defender: German (Infanterie-Division 362 and Fallschirmjager-Division 4)
