ACHILLE'S HEEL

G 6 P 38G

Introduction

After the capture of Naples and Salerno in late September 1943 in mainland Italy. Allied forces continued their assault on the German forces that remained in Italy after the Italian and Allied armistice had been signed. The British 8th Army and American 5th Army pushed northward towards the plains of Foggia. The 12th USAAF never halted the action to breathe while the retreating Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe did their best to defend and hold their ground. The air battles that would take place in this region were geographically located in the bootheel of Italy. Join the FSO community for all the hellacious action in “ACHILLES' HEEL”.
