Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 U.S. RANGERS attack Anzio, Italy on this date in 1944. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Also at Anzio. Although the Germans called them The Black Devils, not the Devils Brigade. That was Hollywood. Probably because Black Devils sounded racist. http://www.firstspecialserviceforce.net/history.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 My uncle, Robert Duffield, was at Anzio with a 90mm Anti Aircraft battery, attached to the 45th Division. He spent the entire time of the battle there, and had nightmares about it for the rest of his life. Duffield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
