The Battle of Anzio took place from January 22, 1944 (beginning with the Allied amphibious landing known as Operation Shingle) to June 5, 1944 (ending with the capture of Rome). This was followed by Operation Diadem which failed in its objective of destroying the German 10th Army. This condemned the Allies to another year of bloody combat in Italy, notably around the Gothic Line from August 1944 through March 1945.
