Cassino after the bombing

Cassino after the bombing

An aerial view of Cassino township after Allied bombing in March 1944. As one Māori Battalion soldier wrote, 'At present not one wall of a single house is standing, just a mass of ruins'. Although many of the German defenders were killed in the bombing, those that remained were deeply dug in among the ruins.
