It was the key stronghold of the Italian front. A living hell. Monte Cassino.
The exhausted, shell-shocked survivors of SS Assault Regiment Wotan held out against the combined forces of the Allied armies.
First came the Americans, then the fearless Sikhs, and finally the British infantry in a merciless assault on Peak 555, towering above the Italian town of Cassino.
Although the battle was lost, the SS code forbade them to surrender. It was Major Kuno von Dodenburg's job to get what was left of the battalion out alive.
