“The war, a wounded titan, was finally collapsing. Stripped of their high ground and shattered strategic advantage, the Germans were in retreat, their disciplined lines crumbling under the relentless pressure of the U.S. Fifth Army and the 10th Mountain Division's unyielding assault. The tide had irrevocably turned. The chase culminated at Lake Garda.”
