"This time, we'll have a real chance to throw the Americans back into the Mediterranean Sea: Our first counterattack two days ago showed some promise, but now its up to you to deal our enemy a more serious blow. Your orders are to take back the village of Persano, the only American strongpoint in this area. Having accomplished that, we will be able to drive them back to the beaches."

"Ha! You really taught those Americans a lesson! Next time, they will know better than to try an amphibious landing operation on us.
We have them on the run now, and their pitiful bridgehead shrank to a mere 3 Kilometers beyond the beach. Division HQ is quite optimistic and is planning for the next major assault, this time against the British in the north. The Americans here will be dealt with by mere 2nd line troops, which will surely be sufficeint for the task."

"Your failure at Persano will cost us dearly. This was our one-and-only chance to check the American advance; even now the British forces further north are pushing forward after having reinforced their own bridgehead. All this is beginning to resemble our defeat on Sicily. Haven't you learned nothing at all?"

Trying to make the best out of their temporary advantage, the Wehrmacht came back for another heavy assault on the American bridgehead. This time, the village of Persano on the south banks of the river Sele had been chosen as a target ..."
