German Tenth Army Struggles at Salerno

September 16th, 1943 81 years ago

The German Tenth Army reported that it could no longer contain the Allied bridgehead established around Salerno. This assertion indicated a significant shift in the battlefield dynamics in Italy during World War II. The Allies had successfully landed troops at Salerno in September, following Operation Avalanche, and faced fierce resistance. The report from the German command highlighted their difficulties in halting the advancing Allied forces, which effectively set the stage for the further Allied advance into Italy.
