Germans blasted from War. Wrecked town in Italy.

Germans blasted from War. Wrecked town in Italy. Not a single building is left standing intact in a sector of Santa Maria infante, town in west central Italy, which was wrested from German defenders by American troops of the Allied Fifth Army on May 14, 1944. The gutted structures, resting amidst debris, testify to the power of the U.S. bombardment which forces the enemy to give up the strongpoint in the Carigliano Valley. The U.S. troops who seized Santa Maria Infante pushed up the west coast of Italy to capture Terracina and join other Fifth Army soldiers who drove the Germans from positions around the Anzio beachhead.
