Overview:

The First and Fourth Rangers, under the command of Bill Darby, landed at Maiori, west of Salerno on 9 September 1943. They then moved 10km inland to block the road to Naples. Once established in the hills, they became the major obstacle to German moves to retake Salerno from the west. Knowing that the Rangers lacked armor and heavy weapons, the XIV Panzer Corps was ordered to dislodge them.... Epilogue: German reports at the time spoke highly of the combat prowess of the Ranger Division, unaware that there were never more than three Ranger battalions involved!
Attacker: German (Kampfgruppe of the 16th Panzer Division)
Defender: American (Elements of the First Ranger Battalion)

2023-11-11(D) Bob McKenna vs Lou Padilla German winUS Rangers attempt to take on Panthers with bazooka at close range and get DMd early. US tries to fall back to the hill. Right flank collapses, left flank holds but is stranded. Rangers try to pull back but Germans CX ING over the hill overwhelm them Quick German victory by turn 3-4. US should have used more cover and fell back sooner and try to delay rather than engage early.
