The Gothic Line: Canada's Forgotten BLOODIEST Battle of WW2

Описание: In August 1944, 4,500 Canadian soldiers became casualties in a battle history forgot. The Gothic Line was Hitler's "impregnable" 200-mile fortress across the Italian mountains—concrete bunkers, minefields, and machine gun nests carved into solid rock. Canadian forces were ordered to break through what seemed impossible.

While D-Day captured headlines, Canadian soldiers fought and died in forgotten Italian mountains. This is the story of Private James Henderson and thousands like him who battled through rain, mud, and relentless German resistance in one of WW2's most brutal campaigns.

From August to October 1944, they crossed rivers under fire, assaulted mountain positions against elite German paratroopers, and fought hand-to-hand on steep ridges. The cost was staggering. The victory was forgotten.
