Yankees Sweep to Brink of Lombardy Plain
American Fifth Army forces under Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark shattered German defenses in Italy, breaking through at Futa pass and nearing Lombardy plains near Bologna. In ten days of fighting, two-thirds of the Fourth Parachute Division and part of the 715th Infantry were destroyed as 2,600 German prisoners were taken.
