After the Volturno, the "Luftwaffe" was rarely seen and AA engagements became uncommon as 46th Division worked its way up the coastal plain past Monte Camino to the German Winter Line. The division's next major operation was a failed assault crossing of the Garigliano on the night of 19/20 January 1944 intended to assist II US Corps crossing of the Rapido (part of the attacks on Monte Cassino). Afterwards the division was involved in hill fighting between 26 January and 9 February, taking Monte Furlito and Monte Purgatorio but failing at Monte Faito. The attacks were then called off in rain, sleet and snow.
