Yanks Drive Salient in Nazi Line
Allied troops pushed a deep salient into German lines northwest of Raviscanina and pierced the Trigno river defenses as engineers bridged fords under heavy fire. Montgomery’s forces won a bridgehead over the Trigno, while intense artillery and urban fighting continued near Campobasso and Castelmauro. American gains along the Volturiin ridge included Riardo and positions southwest of Ragiscanina, narrowing the German high ground defense. Coastal air forces shifted focus to the Adriatic as Italian shipping lanes faced air disruption and salvage efforts amid ongoing front-line thrusts.
