The Fiasco At Anzio
This page consolidates links to all of the posts of my Grandfather’s manuscript The Fiasco At Anzio, about the Anzio Beachhead in World War Two.
As a serial publication, I typed the chapters in one a week beginning on Memorial Day, 2008. Nineteen weeks later, the last chapter was published and I created this page as an easy reference to the posts. And as a footnote, that’s just a few days longer time span than the amount of time the Allies spent pinned down on the beachhead.
