If we are to look for futile battles then Montecassino must rank very high on any list - three head on battles with casualties in the region of that of San Nazaire - but on a daily basis for weeks on end
Monty's idea of creeping up the East coast to Pescara then over the mountains to Rome from the East might have had more merit - but then there was no actual plan - that was the real tragedy of Cassino and the 100,000 casualties.
