Pre-BHD!: Army Rangers Run out of Ammo at Cisterna--NOT RESCUED

[warwolfii]

As a military historian, it has become painfully apparent that Americans do not know of the battles and campaigns that were not rousing successes. I think this is a great failure on the part of those who write the history. Years ago I wrote an article on the disaster at Rapido River during the Italian campaign and I received literally hundreds of letters and emails thanking me because they had fathers and husbands and sons in the battle and knew nothing whatever about what they had endured.

Several of the Rangers were murdered in cold blood by their "chivalrous" foes. Hermann Goering and ,I think 25th panzer Grenadier ,I could be wrong about that last one.
