Even as the Allied and Axis commanders focus on the sweeping warfare of the Eastern Front and the planning for the invasion of Europe, their men continue to fight a grinding war of attrition high in the Italian mountains.

They may be playing second fiddle, but the soldiers on the Italian front will never forget these battles.
