Barbara Line During World War II , the Barbara Line was a series of German military fortification s in Italy , some south of the Gustav Line , and a similar distance north of the Volturno Line . Near the eastern coast , it ran along the line of the Trigno river . The line mostly consisted of fortified hilltop positions . Western breakthrough ( U . S . 5th Army front ) . " Luftwaffe " Field Marshal ( " Generalfeldmarschall " ) Albert Kesselring — commander of all German forces in Italy — ordered his forces to retreat to the Barbara Line on 12 October 1943 after the 5th Army crossed the Volturno River , breaching the Volturno defensive line . By the early November the Barbara Line on the Tyrrhenian Sea side of the Apennine Mountains had been breached by U . S . 5th Army , and the Germans fell back to the Bernhardt Line . Eastern breakthrough ( British 8th Army front ) . The Allied armies under General Harold Alexander were fighting their way northward in Italy against determined German opposition skillfully directed by Albert Kesselring whose forces had prepared a succession of defensive lines . On the Adriatic front east of the Apennine Mountain spine was the British Eighth Army under General Bernard Montgomery . In October Eighth Army had crossed the Bifurno river and the British 8th Army had broken the Viktor / Volturno Line defences on 6 October . However , they had had to pause at the Trigno to re - group and reorganise their logistics along the poor roads stretching back to Bari and Taranto and respectively to the rear of the front . Delayed by these logistical problems , the Allies were not able to attack the next line of defences ( the Barbara Line ) behind the Trigno river immediately . It therefore was not until the early hours of 2 November that the V Corps on the right of the front on the coast and British XIII Corps on their left attacked across the Trigno river . On the V Corps front , British 78th Infantry Division attacked along the coastal road while Indian 8th Infantry Division attacked some inland . Fighting was fierce , but on 3 November 78th Division reached San Salvo , some three miles beyond the Trigno , at which point " Generalmajor " Rudolf Sieckenius — commanding 16th " Panzerdivision " — decided to make a fighting withdrawal to the Sangro river and the formidable Gustav defensive positions overlooking the river from the ridge tops on the far side . Forward elements of Eighth Army moved to make contact with the forward defenses of the German Winter Line on the high ground north of the Sangro River . The Allies were able to move forward without opposition and the Allied advance reached the Sangro on 9 November .

Battle of Beverhoutsveld The Battle of Beverhoutsveld took place on 3 May 1382 , on a field situated between the towns of Beernem , Oostkamp and Assebroek . It marked an important phase in the rebellion of Ghent ( led by Philip van Artevelde ) against count Louis II of Flanders . This battle was initiated when the city of Ghent had rebelled against their lord , count Louis II of Flanders , in 1379 . The powerful guilds in Ghent did not take kindly to his rule , and wanted more privileges and less interference from the count . The nearby city of Bruges was a loyal supporter of the count and this only served to fan the flames of the rivalry between the two cities , both commercial powerhouses . The battle . The Gent - Oostende canal is one of the oldest shipping routes in Belgium . A natural watercourse between the towns of Bruges and Beernem was adapted for this shipping route . It was this piece of canal that caused the conflict between the Bruges and Ghent people . To force Ghent to surrender , the Count of Flanders had blockaded the access roads to the city . Philip van Artevelde , the leader of the Ghent rebels , was attempting to negotiate with the Count in Doornik , but these negotiations failed and the only option was to assault the town of Bruges to force access to the sea . The Bruges warriors appeared on the battlefield after the annual Procession of the Holy Blood , a religious holiday in Bruges . The soldiers came straight from the various inns and taverns around the area , and many had stopped along the way to drink themselves into extra courage . After a short battle Artevelde defeated the Bruges army ( who were in no condition for serious combat ) , and occupied the town of Bruges that same day . Count Louis II managed to escape and fled to the town of Rijssel . Legend says the Ghent warriors removed the Dragon from the St . Donatian ' s Cathedral in Bruges and transported it to Ghent to mount it on the Belfort tower there . Aftermath . Philip van Artevelde ' s victory caused uprisings all over Flanders ; only Dendermonde and Oudenaarde remained loyal to the Count . This victory had repercussions abroad as well ; uprisings and riots broke out in Holland , Leuven , Paris , Rouen and Amiens . Philip van Artevelde died a few months later in a new battle with the Count in the Battle of Westrozebeke . Louis II of Flanders died in combat in Saint - Omer ( Sint - Omaars ) in 1384 . It was only in 1613 that the cities managed to negotiate an agreement to dig the canal between Ghent and Bruges . The execution of the work was entrusted to the Dutch in the Republic of the 7 United Provinces , and the canal was opened in 1621 . A memorial plaque commemorating the battle can be found in the " Bibliotheekstraat " in Ghent .
