Torrential rains and stubborn Nazi rear guards kept them from spectacular results, but Field Marshal Albert Kesselring was making his last stand, which would end when the British could break through Rimini into the plain of the Po. Already he had pulled back the tough Nazis of the ist Parachute Division who had taken a beating before Rimini, and replaced them with Turkoman infantry of the 162nd Division...
...Po and the Alps. To the west, American Negro troops of the 92nd Division clawed their way up the southeast slopes of the Monti Pisani, overlooking Pisa. On their left, A.J.A.s (Americans of Japanese ancestry) toiled up the south west slopes.
