Anzio beachhead, Rome Pisa and the Gothic Line have been fcught for and won by the men of the 34th in their nearly 1000

days overseas.

One battalion of the 135th participated in the invasion of northern Algeria In November, 1942. Soon joined by other outfits in the 34th Infantry Division, they rapidly won the battle for the capital city, Algiers, and pushed overland into Tunisia. There the 135th won a division citation for its part in the bloody

fight for Hill 609.

The regiment landed in Italy in September, 1943, and went into the line the following month to push bridgeheads across the Volturno River. One of its battalions took San Vittore early last January, while another captured Mount Chaia. The regiment next took Mount Trocchio and, in early February, crossed the Rapido River and pushed into Cassino. One of its battalions advanced to the base of Mont-

ecassino Abbey.

Shipped to Anzio, the 135th

smashed out of the beachhead confines at Lanuvio, one of Its battalions alone leaving 300 dead Germans in its wake in the s ngle engagement. The regiment then joined forces with the 1st Armored Division on Highway 7 and fought into Rome. One battalion of the 135th was mopping up snippers near the Coliseum

on the evening of June 4. The regiment bridged the

Cecina River early last July and captured Rosignano, losing more

(roailaurd from Pngc One) end of their resistance. Should the Germans achieve maximum success in their thrust into Belgium, it was said, they may be i able to delay the allied schedule by three months: but If allied countermeasures achieve maximum success against the Gorman salient, it may well turn out to be disastrous for the enemy}) Th*e Germans were estimated to h ive oommitted 10 or 12 divisions to the current effort, which would be no more formidable i#an the effort to Break through y the bottleneck at Avranche s last summer. With such a force, they could not possibly hopi, for example, to cut through to the coast as they did In 1940. I Observerr here believed that the best gaims the Germans can hope for would be to drive on 50 or 75 miles into France, cut off some of the, American forces, outflank the/ current American effort towards Cologne, and dislupt supplies’) for the northern half of the western front. However, thvey have come out from behind defended lines and to press the offensive they must move large forces, which will be vulnerable to aerial attack. The allies naturally) will establish new lines in an effort to contain the enemy. When the Germans encounter these lines it will touch off warfare that will be expensive in men and materiel— and German resources are limit-

ed.

Military quarters said it may well prove that the Germans, instead of gaining a valuable oreak-through, may encounter disaster, and leave a big hole open in their own lines which can be exploited by the Americans. If so the present offensive will have proved contrary to their own Interests, which admittedly now is to fight as prolonged a war as possible in hopes for an easier peace or advantage from possible allied disunity.
