Mozzagrogna saw heavy fighting in November 1943. Allied troops took the town but were counter-attacked and driven out. Tanks of the 44th Royal Tank Regiment helped recapture the town. This picture shows the bitter nature of the street-fighting in the town. The wreck of a German Pzkfw III flamethrower tank blocks a road with the turret lying alongside the hull of the tank.
