December 7th,1943  2 Years ago America was brought into the War. Now at Cassino a time to think back but also think forward. The soldiers below Cassino wondered why Bombers had not come and blasted the Germans dug-in and around off the face of the Earth. History, Religion was why. The soldiers were numb fighting, clawing up those Hills just to have the Germans with perfect view below to lob in support fire to prevent any sustained attack of success. "Enough" a New Zealand General said. Everyone had been looking for an 'Escape Goat' and now one had stepped to the fore front. So the Bombers were on their way in force not just a few trickling sorties. History Scholars and Religious ones would weep afterwards. The soldiers below Cassino would cheer until another Cassino. (Paras will be dropped to capture airfield).
