RE: Operation Fischfang 1944
Historically there were some massive artillery groups here who inflicted the bulk of casaulties on both sides.
Nevertheless...I've grown tired of endless artillery replays...so in this one I cut the arty down.
We can do the damage the old fashion way, by shooting each other in the face.
The Yanks thought a church steeple standing high above the rubble and ruins of Aprilia was a smokestack.
Hence, they gave the ruins the name of "The Factories". These piles of rocks and basements were fought over for days, and night fights as well.
Today Aprilia is a beautiful village where the best Italian motorcycles are made, and Ducati can suck it.
You will note a map label showing Padre Ducati's Leper Colony on the map, hard west.
The Aprilia is my favorite track bike, a beauty, and the best to come out of Italy.
I just don't have 40,000 laying around to spend on one...darn it...so...Honda it is...lol...but those Aprilia's are nice...on the bucket list...
Regards,
Old Man Dan
