Theme itineraries on request as the Bunkers and German Defensive lines Tours
In 1943, After Italy had signed on 8thSeptember, an unconditional armistice with the Allies, Hitler ordered his forces to occupy the Italian mainland to protect the Third Reich's 'soft underbelly'. After the Allied landings in Salerno, the Germans fought a series of hard, rearguard actions as the Allies slowly pushed north up the Apennines towards the Alps.
These actions were based around theconstruction of a series of defensive lines: the Winter Line or Bernahrdt line, the Gustav Line, the Hitler Line, the Caesar Line, the Gothic Line and the Voralpenstellung. This tour explores the development and form of the defensive lines constructed from Cassino to Rome, by the paramilitary Organisation Todt in Italy, examining the principles of defence of these key fortifications in visual depth, and discussing their fate in the wake of the Allied onslaught.
The tour can be personalized according to your interests and route such as: The German defensive lines, bunkers at Monte Cifalco, the bunkers of Mussolini in Rome and the headquarter of Marshall Kesslering, north of Rome. Caves, bunkers and defensive lines, the highground was always the key of the German defence, in World War II, in Italy.
