Week 234 - The Destruction of Monte Cassino - February 18, 1944

The Allies bomb the monastery atop Monte Cassino in Italy, but just to the Northwest its the Germans attacking them at Anzio this week. In the Soviet Union, the Axis break out of the Korsun Pocket, but at great cost, and in the Pacific comes a major Allied raid on the Japanese base at Truk and landings on Eniwetok Atoll.
