Short.In 1943, Hitler ordered his forces to Italy to protect the Third Reich’s “soft underbelly.” But after the Allied landings in Salerno, the Germans were forced to fight a series of rear guard actions based around the construction of defensive lines, including: the Gustav Line, the Hitler Line, the Caesar Line, and the Gothic Line. This book explores the development and form of these defensive systems and discusses their fate in the wake of the Allied onslaught. 64 pages, B&W photographs and color illustrations, 7″x 10″, softcover.
