Hy, I would like to make a dio of a battle for the castle at the hill 165 in Monte Cassino - Italy (1944-45).
Does anyone have some pictures of the castle at the time of the battle or plans of the building to help me in this project.
Any information will be welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gelson,

Try the Imperial war Museum site:

Search under Italy also try the Polish Museum in London:

Hope this helps

Thanks, Alan. I will try the links you gave me.
I have found two pics of the castle itself in the Google but they aren't close enough to get some good details.
Best regards,
Gelson
