Germans Reinforce Last Strong Points At Cassino
Allied headquarters in Naples reports German forces have reinforced remaining strong points at Cassino and regained a hill to the west as heavy fighting continues. About 100 German prisoners were taken in battles around the Continental hotel ruins where two tanks were reported in place. Allied armor attacked the hotel stronghold while one enemy tank was knocked out. Fifth Army retains control of the railway station one mile south amid heavy shelling. Germans recaptured Hill 165 after fierce fighting, with several tanks spotted west of Cassino and dispersed by artillery. Cassino town yielded many German prisoners and the battle appears to tilt toward Allied gains. The Mediterranean air force downed 32 enemy planes in 24 hours, losing 17. The British cruiser Orion shelled Littoria and Allied artillery aided at the Anzio beachhead as German gunfire continued to harass the area.
