Winter Line
The
Winter Line
was a series of
German
military
fortifications
in
Italy
, constructed during
World War II
by
Organisation Todt
. The primary
Gustav Line
ran across Italy from just north of where the
Garigliano River
flows into the
Tyrrhenian Sea
in the west, through the
Apennine Mountains
to the mouth of the
Sangro River
on the
Adriatic coast
in the east. There were two subsidiary lines, the
Bernhardt Line
in front of the main Gustav positions, and the
Hitler Line
five miles behind it.
