I have been researching the Anzio Landing Battle where my father fought... it apparently was also like the WWI trench warfare. From a book intro -
In January 1944, the Allies decided to land at Anzio in order to overcome the stalemate at Cassino.This amphibious landing has become one of the most controversial campaigns of World War II. Questionable decisions by the Allied leadership led to three months of World War I-style trench warfare, and the entire beachhead suffered from continuous German observation and bombardment.
My father never talked about it, and as I read more, I can see why... After 3 weeks at Anzio his division was given leave with 25% losses....
