Monte Cassino

Around the slopes of the holy mountain men fought like wild animals. These were the men of Hitler's panzer regiments - the men who didn't care who won the war - who only wanted to survive. They lived with fear, and blood, and rats. And when they tried to forget the war they found they could not wash the smell of corpses from their bodies. There was no horror they had not witnessed, no degradation they would not suffer if only they could survive the holocaust - the searing hell that was Monte Cassino.
