88th Infantry Division WWII Tour – The Blue Devils from Monte Cassino to Rome
Discover the legacy of the 88th Infantry Division—“The Blue Devils”—on this private WWII battlefield tour tracing their advance from the coastal sector near Monte Cassino all the way to the gates of Rome. Though the division did not engage directly in the ruins of Cassino town, their role in Operation Diadem was pivotal in the broader breakthrough of the Gustav Line.
Starting near Minturno, just 30 kilometers from Monte Cassino, the 88th pushed north through fortified towns and rugged terrain, confronting fierce resistance and contributing decisively to the liberation of central Italy.
