Overview:
During the grey of dawn, the American VI Corps began landing at Anzio and Nettuna on the Italian boot. Very few capable German combat units were available to conduct an effective counter-attack against the beachhead. The German 14th Army Command managed to quickly piece together units and formed a reasonably stable containment ring around the beachhead. The 14th Army's plan was for the Hermann Goring Fallschirm-Panzer-Division, supported by Tiger tanks and Elefant tank destroyers to strike south from Isola Bella towards La Ferriere. The terrain in the area of the former Pontino marshes was not well suited for an attack by heavy tracked vehicles. Due to the continuous rainfall and flooding of the dams, only the paved roads were trafficable. Kampfgrupper Stein with a pair of Elefants leading, advanced along the Cisterna-Nettuno road, came under fire south of the town of Isola Bella.Attacker: German (Hermann Göring Parachute Panzer Division, sPzJg. Abteiling 653)
Defender: American (15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division)
