I'm planning to build a diorama about the battle at Monte Cassino.
Does anybody know about some references?
I need to know what kind of veichles that were used, and some pictures of the place.

Thanks!

The latest issue of Military Illustrated (no. 176) has an article about the defense of Monte Cassino. There are a few pics, including a couple of Mk IVs deployed in the area and NZ M4A2s.

Try with these:

(there's something in english too)

otherways you can make a search for "monte cassino" or "montecassino" on the images section of Google, Altavista, etc.
I continue looking for a wonderful picture of a Stug (i think) i saw once in the ruins of the church.
