| Additional information |
Monte Cassino was assaulted four times between January and May 1944, with the monastery at its summit destroyed by Allied bombing in February before German paratroopers occupied the rubble and held it more effectively than the intact structure. The final assault in May was broken by the Polish II Corps under General Anders — many of them veterans of Soviet labor camps released under the Sikorski-Mayski agreement — who took the hill at catastrophic cost.
