Belvedere Battle Aids 100th Battalion And 442d Team
In Italy the American 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442d Combat Team, both Japanese American units, spearhead the Belvedere operation against a German SS battalion. The 100th infiltrates, encircles Belvedere and aims to cut the main road to Sasseta and Florence, while the 442d stalls under heavy fire before being joined by the 100th to seize the town. The two outfits share a close bond formed after Salerno and Rome, trading stories by day and song by night as they press forward.
