DescriptionItalybombing4.jpg | Nazi railroad yards at Siena are knocked out. On the alternate line from Pisa and Florence south to Rome, the Siena yards were blasted by Mediterranean Allied Air Force Bombers. Within two months "Operation Strangle" had smashed all large and medium sized railyards at Rome, Rimini, Ancona, Pisa, Arezzo, Foligno, Terni, and Viterbo. The marshalling yards were bombed twice before. This attack was on April 11 1944, and the bombs were dropped by B-26Bs of the 17th Bomb Group. The Siena rail targets were hit four more times before the end of the war. | ||||
