Overview:
Continued fighting in the hills around Cassino had become nothing more than a continual drain on Allied manpower and supplies. In an attempt to force a breakthrough, the New Zealand Corps opted to attempt an attack through the town itself, then swing west to take control of Highway 6 heading north. The approach into Cassino was along a single, narrow road. Armor support was delayed 30 minutes due to a large bomb crater in the middle of the road and deep mud along either side of the pavement. Initial gains were good, but the German paratroopers soon stiffened their defense and the Kiwis had to resort to blockbusting to clear the way.Attacker: New Zealand (25th Inf Bn and 19th Armored Regt)
Defender: German (2/3 Fallschirmjager Regt)
