For the operation of the Gothic line, the Allies concentrated their strengths.
The 8th British Army was to attack three corps simultaneously: the 5th British Corps, the 1st Corps of Canada and the 2nd Polish Corps, along the Adriatic coast and further from Rimini to Bologna. On the other hand, an auxiliary force from the area of Florence, in the general direction of Bologna, was to lead the 5th American Army.
