While the main focus in early 1945 was on the advance to The Fatherland, 15 Army Group’s 5th (US) and 8th (British) Armies were achieving remarkable results in Northern Italy.
Superb generalship (Truscott – 5th Army and McCreery – 8th Army under General Mark Clark’s 15 Army Group), planning, preparation and training outweighed the diversion of major formations to NW Europe, the appalling terrain, harsh climate and general battle fatigue. Equipment was improvised and air/ground operations coordinated to a very high level.
