Allied all-out drive opens road to Rome
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Naples, May 23—(U.P.)—Supported by battleships, planes and 1000 big guns, American and British troops on the Anzio beachhead launched a general offensive today, synchronizing with the main Fifth and Eighth armies in an all-out drive which caught 17 German divisions in a giant nutcracker and
opened the final battle for Rome.
Allied artillery, probably more than 3000 field pieces, already was raking German positions with a cross-fire from the southern and beachhead fronts as doughboy veterans of Africa and Sicily, rising from ravines and blood-red poppy fields at 6:30 a.m., smashed toward Cisterna.
The direction of the British attack was not specified but a strong British force has been holding positions on the opposite flank of the beachhead only 21 miles from Rome.
The beachhead offensive, follow-
ing by 11 days the opening of the all-out drive in the south, threw the full weight of Allied arms in Italy against the possibly 200,000 Germans Field Marshal Albert Kesselring has staked in a final gamble to hold Rome. These troops, sandwiched in by two powerful Allied forces, their supplies and reinforcements reduced to a mere trickle by Allied bombing, faced almost certain death or surrender unless they chose to withdraw to Rome, and, sooner or later, to northern Italy.
