Ch4 Monte Cassino The Soldiers Story 576p HDTV x264 AAC MVGroup 2004

The extraordinary four-month battle on the mountain of Monte Cassino was one of the bloodiest and
most controversial of the Second World War. In 1944, Allied troops faced a tough German defensive
line there that barred the route to Rome. Hitler's orders were clear: he wanted the line held at all
cost, as he thought a successful defence might make the Allies think twice about D-Day. Some of the
Allies disagreed about the whole point of the campaign in Italy, were confused and divided, and at
times badly mishandled the battle. At the core of the fight was a modern-day siege played out over
an ancient castle on the slopes of the mountain. It was a bitter five-day fight that saw the men of
both sides suffer terrible losses, but they eventually strove to help each other, in a welcome
truce. This remarkable film tells the story of the battle of Cassino through the eyes of the men who
fought on both sides. Originally shown as part of Channel 4's Battle for Italy season.
