GUSTAV LINE, 01/17/1944
Our advance on Rome has been delayed very skillfully by the Germans and has stopped on the Gustav line, southeast of Rome. The southern part of the line runs along the Rapido and Gargliano rivers and is centred on the area around Monte Cassino. 

Your orders are to cross the Gargliano and establish a bridgehead in preparation for an offensive up the Liri Valley. Once the landings at Anzio go ahead we will be in position to quickly capture Rome.

Meanwhile, American and French forces will assault and capture the Cassino area.
