A Rome to Florence push is described as a curtain raiser rather than a full-scale offensive. The Eighth Army fights through three high mountains guarding the river, with another range behind them. Allied commanders stress the objective is to seize the mountains to outflank German defenses of Rome II, likening the battle to earlier campaigns in Tunisia.
