Stalemate at Anzio: Italy 1944
From January to June of 1944, the fighting at the Anzio beachhead was fierce. While Generals Clark and Alexander exchanged blows with General Kesselring, the Twelfth Air Force flew countless missions into German territory. The bombing raids were carried out against many targets around Rome that were key to the success of the Wehrmacht in Anzio. Defending these targets and patrolling the coastline were fighters from JG 2 and 77.
This event seeks to simulate the air battles that took place over the beaches of Anzio and around the industrial and strategic targets of Central Italy. Specifically, the event will simulate the combat missions of the Twelfth Air Force during the months of February and March of 1944.
