Ammo Joe's march from the Gothic Line to victory.
No full textThis historical report entitled "Ammo Joe's March from the Gothic Line to Victory" constitutes the final written chapter of the last of three principle phases in the twenty month long Italian campaign. Previous reports published by the Ammunition Section, Headquarters, Fifth Army, are: "Ammo Joe's Advance on Rome," and "Ammo Joe at Anzio." The report of the Rome campaign includes the three month period between 301800A April 1944 to 311800B July 1944. Since the Gothic Line campaign report covers the period between 241800A September 1944 to 251800B April 1945 there is a lapse of several weeks between the Rome report and this one. In these few weeks between "Ammo Joe" editions the Allied armies continued to move northward. The Arno River was bridged at Florence and after a six weeks siege the city fell to the Allies. This was also a period of reorganization, regrouping, and consolidation of freshly gained positions in the large area between Pisa and Florence. At this time, too, there was considerable redeployment of Fifth Army troops to help in the impending invasion of Southern France. These weeks saw the Germans continuing to retreat but with a growing intensity in their opposition. Our advance was being hampered by their energetic rear guard action, thus enabling the Germans to build strong fortifications in the almost impregnable fortress of the north—the Apennine Range
