The 36th Division at Salerno

The 36th Division at Salerno With Jeff Hunt Part of the Operation Avalanche (Salerno) 80th Anniversary series    • Operation Avalanche (Salerno) 80th Anniver...   The first wave troops of the 36th Infantry Division fanned out onto all four beaches exactly at H-Hour, on 9th September 1943. Enemy guns roared as the GIs leaped into the water and started inland for the pre-designated assembly areas. On the left at Red and Green beaches the 142nd Infantry, commanded by Colonel John D. Forsythe, began the push that was designed to take it to the core of the beachhead and to the ground around Albanella and Altavilla. On the right at Yellow and Blue beaches, the 141st Infantry under Colonel Richard J. Werner, moved to maintain contact with 142nd at Mount Vesole and Magliano, seize Agropoli and defend the right flank. The second and third waves hit the beaches at eight-minute intervals. At the end of the day it was clear that the Salerno landings had been successful in spite of a prepared and alerted enemy. The 36th now occupied the important hills from Altavilla to Ogliastro. On the 10th of September, the second day ashore, the beachhead was enlarged, positions consolidated, and more tanks brought in to prepare for heavier clashes to come. Our guest today is Jeff Hunt, Director of the Texas Military Forces Museum in Camp Mabry, Austin Texas.
