The so expected thread about the two greatest (and most idiotically leaded) of the Italian campaign. Those battles shouldn't have happenned the way they did. Let's discuss now the whys and what fors of the battle.

Was Clark an idiot?

Was the bombing of the ancient monastery worth it?

Could Keßelring had drove the Allies back to the sea at Anzio without Hitler's intervention?

Is Lucas to be blamed for the débâcle at Anzio?

Ready! Set! Debate!
