Week 247 - The Fall of Monte Cassino - WW2 - May 20, 1944

In Italy, the Allies finally overcome Monte Cassino and break through the Gustav Line; in Burma Merrill's Marauders surprise the Japanese and take Myitkyina Airfield; in China, it's the Japanese who are playing offense, as Operation Ichi Go and the siege of Luoyang continue. That's the field action, but there's big planning behind the scenes for major June offensives going on by both the Western Allies and the Soviets.

You know, this war is considerably less glorious than I was led to believe in history channel documentaries of the 90s.

Sorry to be off topic but I don't know how else to communicate with the WW2 team. Last week I made a one-of donation to help finance the D-Day special. That came with a poster and tie. I'm at the declutter stage of life and don't need more stuff. So please give them to someone else. You sent me an email address but my ISP classed it as invalid and I couldn't reply. Thanks. Also, the title of this reads Monte Casino. Shouldn't that be Cassino?

With D-day looming on the horizon I'm hoping to see coverage on the spies running deception operations to fool the Germans on where the landings will be. In particular I'm interested in the story of Juan Pujol Garcia, codenamed GARBO, I've read a bit about him on Wikipedia and while his story isn't action packed, I find it very entertaining. Also as a Canadian I am would love to see a Spies and Ties episode on William Stephenson, codenamed Intrepid, a Canadian spymaster and acquaintance of Ian Fleming, who apparently once wrote "James Bond is a highly romanticised version of a true spy. The real thing is... William Stephenson" (this qoute is abbreviated from Iam Flemings foreward in Room 3603 by H. Montgomery Hyde).

Working on getting it out publicly as soon as possible. It's very intense here with the finishing touches for D-Day! Hope to be back on track for everyone as soon as possible.

Thanks, I figured that is what is was but the post above mine got me worried. I also keep wanting to get my post in the comment sections in early on Mark Clark and the fall of Rome. I'm hoping you guys don't go the old traditionalist route of covering the fall of Rome. I keep trying to post that Mark Clark is directly ordered by George Marshall the top US officer in WW2 to take Rome. And British General Alexander (Clark's direct superior at the time) also gives Clark orders to take Rome as well. But my posts about this keep getting buried in the last few weeks. Clark takes WAY to much heat for capturing Rome when in reality it should be considered the correct move to make. Capturing anywhere from 5k-15k German troops doesn't do anything to greatly end the war. While the fall of the first Axis capital city is a much bigger morale hit to the Axis forces. It also has to be remembered that the Italian campaign's job was never to push up through Italy, then the Alps and Austria into Germany. That would have taken WAY to many casualties pushing through North Italy and the Alps. The goal of the Italian campaign was always to occupy German forces in Italy so that they couldn't be used on the Eastern or Western fronts.

Please don't do the music with your episodes anymore. It was virtually impossible to follow Indys narrative in this weeks episode. If the d day special is like this weeks episode it will be ruined.
