Description

As the year 1944 ends, the Allied Army dominated almost all of the Italian Peninsula, but in the North, the valley of the Pó river was still in German hands.

Those German troops were either depleted or were being removed for other fronts, and with few replacements available; the Luftwaffe already did not dare to appear; the logistic situations were chaotic; the imminent defeat decreased the German´s Moral and the end was coming.

On the other side, the Allies were strengthened, receiving continuous reinforcements, the moral was high and the situation in Europe was changing. The end of war was a near reality, but when?

On September 12, 1944, the Allies launched an assault with its main objective as the city of Bologna, an important center of communications in the valley of the Pó. If Bologna fell, the Allies would advance to Austria, isolating the remainder of the German armies still in Italy. Blocking one of the roads was a set of hills, and between these hills, was Mount Castle, the main objective of the 1ª Division of Infantry of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force
