From Monte Cassino to "PATRIOT" warheads
"A good fighter pilot, like a good boxer, should have a knockout punch..... You will find one attack you prefer to all others. Work on it till you can do it to perfection... then use it whenever possible."

That was excellent and very fascinating. I had no idea there were Polish troops there.

Poles kicked some major butt up and down the Italian Peninsula...when the Allies bothered to remember they were there and let them in on a fight. US and GB were so busy trying to be the first to do ____ that they often kept their smaller allies on a back burner, low heat. When we (Allies) finally broke the Gustav/Hitler lines, IIRC it was the Poles who pushed farther than anybody had a right to expect, from an unexpected direction, and decimated the German/Italian forces in front of them. The US/GB tended to get bogged down in battles for "strategic" objectives. Monte Cassino...that was just a hell mountain for everybody involved.
Pillage, then burn.
