Things happeo fart In a war Uko this one. eo f«t that a
lot of us read about our victories ond begin to get the idea
that the enemy is on his loot legs, tie's got one loot in the
grove. He's U^ed. bo knows it. and be isn't oven trying to
bght.
So we're surprised cmd a little shocked when the word
comee tbed tbe Jhmis aren't taking this invosion of Italy as
meekly os we thought they were. We blink oooe or twice
and shake our hoods cmd wendafr bow we ever thought we
bod that vital little peninsula in the bog.
Tberell be a lough, bloody fight for that piece of land,
the Neats don't intend to lot loose of it without o struggle,
and we kaow that we need it for the final pbaae.of the thnw-
front Invcoioa of Gersaony. The Nasta hove pulled the old
"Puppet Govwnment** routine out o! their well-stored bag
of tiicks and they'll be mcmipultsting it for all they're worth.
They may not lent long. We hope not. But, on tbe
other hand, they moy consider the bolding of the Italian pea^
cneukt a kert-dUeb rtund, a final desperate edtesapt to hold
off the approaches to "Fortress Europe." If this is tbe cose,
they will pour as saaiy men as they oon .m>ate into the fight,
that war is but earn bell of a fight.
And if they do. it'll be one hell of a fight. Worth every
life, wuitb every dirty, sleepless doy o! battle, worth all the
things that war It bol one bell of a BghL
