Battlefield tour: The assault on the Gothic Line History Civilization

Code: 013003

Summer of 1944. As the armies of Nazi Germany are facing inevitable defeat with the Allied landings in Normandy and the relentless advance of the Red Army on the Eastern Front, one man alone, Winston Churchill, is obsessed with what now appears to be a secondary theatre in the war, Italy.
