In "limited but im portant" gains, the fifth army near Lanuvio crossed the Fosso Di Campoleone, a drainage ditch. Other units pushed near er Valmontone itself, 20 miles from Rome on the interdicted via Casilina.' Tactical aircraft flew around the clock shatter ing German lines of retreat and shattering forward positions. The fall of Rome appeared a matter of days. i1' "...
