A Journey Through History In 1943, after Italy’s armistice with the Allies, Hitler ordered his troops to occupy the Italian mainland to secure the ‘soft underbelly’ of Europe. As the Allies pushed northward, the Germans constructed a series of defensive lines: the Bernhardt Line, the Gustav Line, the Hitler Line, and more. This tour explores the engineering, strategy, and human stories behind these formidable defenses, from Cassino to Rome.
