Question

What is the Gothic Line? Why was the line being broken important during World War II?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Gothic Line represented one of the last and great defenses elaborated by the Germans in World War II.

Theoretically constructed on a length of 280 km, the series of Nazi-fascist lines of defense in northern Italy, known as the Gothic Line, departed from the coastal region of the Tyrrhenian Sea, from the Italian west, in the regions of Carrara and La Spezia, passing through the chain of mountains formed by the Apennines, ending in the east, in the areas of Pesaro and Rimini, already in the coastal strip of the Adriatic Sea. Its main purpose was to delay to the maximum, and if possible to block, the allied advances in the Campaign of Italy.
