WWII - European Theater of Operations/Po Valley Campaign (1945)
From Month/Year
April / 1945
To Month/Year
May / 1945

Description
(Po Valley Campaign 5 April-8 May 1945) The effectiveness of interdiction in northern Italy was shown by the success of the final Allied drive in that area in April 1945. With communications shattered, the Germans were unable to move enough materiel to make a stand after being driven from their defensive positions south of the Po. Allied forces crossed the river on 25 April; and on 4 May, at the Italian end of the Brenner Pass, Fifth Army met the Seventh, which had driven into Germany and turned southward into Austria. With the joining of these forces the war in Italy was over.
