Raid on Anzio Marked By Night Attacks and Allied Defense
Allied reports say German torpedo boat night raid on Anzio was repelled as Italian Adriatic fronts saw Indian troops of the Eighth Army push back a Waxiv assault near Orsognm. French troops repulsed attacks north of Cassino while Allied planes conducted hundreds of sorties over the Anzio bridgehead. Heavy rain hampered operations though tanks and artillery supported American infantry near Saedrgotta along the Anzio-Alnans sector. The USS Bennington, a 27,000 ton carrier, was launched at the New York Navy Yard as the first carrier built entirely there.
