Allies Repel German Attack at Anzio Beachhead
Allied headquarters reported the German 10th Army attacked the Anzio beachhead backed by planes but was repulsed by British forces near Carravelo on the Via Anziate. The Germans suffered their steepest air loss of the Italian campaign, while Allied forces under Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark expanded the bridgehead and took prisoners as the Fifth Army pressed north toward Rome. French troops advanced north of Cassino despite terrain, and Canadian Army units joined the Adriatic front under Crerar as overall Allied momentum grew.
