from her temples. She had never
cut it. Matthew liked her with her
hair long. She wore il parted in the

Mary was tall and had kept her
figure. II was fuller than it had
been at Judith's age, but the added
weight was in the right places. Her
gray eyes were serene under dark
brows. There were little lines about
her eyes, but they were not very
noticeable. Her skin was as firm

What Went Wrong at AnZiO?

south OF the Eternal City instead
of to the north, where they were
waiting.
Washington military experts say
that If the Allied forces had imme-
diately forged inland to cut the two
main highways-the Casilina and
Appian Ways, main supply routes
for German troops to the south
the enemy might have diverted his
strength at Casino in the belief a
major flanking movement was in the
making.
The Anzio force sat tight, how
ever, and German military intel
ligence soon learned the invaders
were 5th Army veterans. 1t knew
the 5th Army was fighting north of
Naples and that this, therefore, was
not major invasion by fresh
new army.
And so the Germans left their
forces to the south intact; instead
rushed number of reesrve troops
from the north. We got nowhere
at Casino. We had to dig in at
Anzio. Action at both points soon
begged down.
Rough terrain and terrible wealth
er account in large part for this
Allied air superiority has been in
adequately used because of the
weather. Heavy, gooey mud has
clamped our tanks and other ar
mored vehicles into inactivity. Ger

Nazi troop and artillery concentra-
tions operate in efficient fashion.
In the meantime, the Allies must
maintain communications at Anzio
from the sea, hazardous venture
we'll within range of the rings of
Nazi heavy artillery.
The Allies sought to pocket a
large force of Nazis between Cas-
sino and Anzio. Instead, they have
succeeded admirably in becoming
pocketed tightly at the latter spot
themselves. They can't very well
fall back into the sea. Allied pres
tige in all Europe would fall with
them. They must hold on, wait for
fair weather.
Sometime after the 1st of April
the sun shines brightly in Italy
The mud dries quickly. In fact, the
British Information Services OBJ
serves the skies already have
cleared and Allied planes have re-
|sumed an intensive operation
against Nazi communication lines.
Determined drives to crack Cas-
sino-a tough nut in its mountain
girt fastness-suggest that Allied
Italian strategy may be based on
hammering out the solution by
force which could not be achieved
by surprise. If American and Brit
ish commonwealth troops can
smash through the Rapido line, the
Anzio beachhead may be relieved
and contribute to the fall of Rome.
Evening star., 1944-03-26
Bv Ned NordneSs.

On beachhead south of Rome
the Allies have long been involved
in a stalemate. 1t has prompted
the question: What went wrong at
Anzio?
First of all, this beachhead battle
is not another front or even a major
action. 1t was designed as a diver
sion, a f1anking movement, which
nevertheless has developed into a
savage, cutthroat, man-to-man
struggle.
A few of the factors involved in
setting the Anzio expedition back
onto the lip of the sea include:
ExcellentN enemy intelligence;
tough, battle wise opposition; clev-
erly placed, devastating enemy ar
tillery fire; extremely nasty weather
and our own hesitancy in moving
inland when we had the chance.
Shortly after the landing on Janu-
ary %, Gen. Sir Henry Maitland
Wilson stated the Anzio expedition
was never intended to be more than
a diversionary thrust. The Nazis
were expected to weaken their ranks
SIS miles south, at Casino, to meet
this danger, whereupon the troops
at Casino were to heighten their
offensive for break-through and a
drive on Rome.
The Germans were fooled only to
the extent that the Allies landed
