German soldiers captured near Castelforte, Italy.
mei 1944
German soldiers captured near Castelforte, Italy. Some of the 1,600 German troops who were rounded up in hills near Castelforte, in west central Italy, are temporarily placed in a French prisoner-of-war stackade in a rear-line area of the Garigliano Valley battle sector. French soldiers, aided by U.S. tanks and artillery, wrested control of heavily fortified Castelforte from the enemy on May 14, 1944, three days after the Allies opened their major drive to liberate Italy from the Germans.
