Hello,
Could any forum members recommend good accounts of the fighting along the Sangro (the winter/ Bernhardt line) in mid to late November 1943? Both British and German accounts would be welcome. I already have the war diaries of 4th Armoured Brigade and 38th Infantry Brigade as well as Doherty's book on Eighth Army in Italy. Any help appreciated.
Cheers.

Unfortunately, the book that covers the Sangro battles (Italy Vol I: Sangro to Cassino) does not offer the relevant chapters online.
What I would recommend is looking at the individual battalion documents for accounts of the battle.

Kingfish - Thanks! That's great. The site is a really good resource. Also, the chapter headings can be opened up with the '+' so those chapters from the Official History are there. Much appreciated.
Cheers
