Follow in the footsteps of the soldiers who faced one of the most intense and prolonged battles of the Italian Campaign—where bravery, strategy, and sacrifice collided on the shores of Anzio and Nettuno.

On January 22, 1944, Allied forces launched Operation Shingle, a bold amphibious landing behind German lines aimed at breaking the stalemate south of Rome. What followed was a brutal months-long struggle to hold the beachhead under constant artillery fire and counterattacks.
