An American private receives a grateful welcome from an Italian woman after the Battle of Anzio.
On May 25, 1944, General Lucian King Truscott, Jr’s men captured Cisterna, and on June 4th, General Mark Clark led the American forces into Rome. Here the US tanks pass the Colosseum.

My father was liberated by the US Forces from a nazi concentration camp. I am forever grateful for that.

Thank you so much! It wasn’t the end of his story, unfortunately, but he was very grateful, and when it was the time for me to choose a foreign language to study, he insisted that I learn English.

Yes, he wasn’t able to watch ANY movie about war, even if it was a comedy or a musical. Tomorrow is 31 year since I lost him.
