The 2/6th Queen's battalion under Lt. Col. Keighley from the 169th Brigade was assigned the task of securing the Montecorvino airfield. Facing them were the men from the 2nd Battalion, 10th Panzer Grenadier Regiments. Unfortunately, the Shermans from 'C' Squadron Royal Scots Greys assigned to support the Queen's were delayed at the beaches, forcing the men from the Queen's to attack across open terrain. That attack failed. Now supported by the tanks, the Queen's infantry tried again. The well dug in panzer grenadiers has their own armor support, some now hidden among the wreckage of burning planes.

Montecorvino, Italy

The Allied invasion of Italy was the Allied amphibious landing on mainland Italy that took place on 3 September 1943 during the early stages of the Italian Campaign of World War II. The operation was undertaken by General Sir Harold Alexander's 15th Army Group and followed the successful invasion of Sicily. The main invasion force landed around Salerno on 9 September on the western coast in Operation Avalanche, while two supporting operations took place in Calabria and Taranto.
