Austrians Hard Drive Boomerangs Back in Italy
An Austrian offensive that began last Sunday on the Piave failed to break Italian resistance as the Italians repelled the attack with Opus forces. They reportedly captured 45,000 Austrians and inflicted 166,000 casualties, leaving the Austrians back to their original line and possibly retreating further without German help. Meanwhile the prospect of 100,000 American troops crossing weekly continues to loom.
