Road to Primosole

Operation Fustian was on the brink of collapse. Heavy anti-air fire had scored unprecedented losses on the British 1st Airborne, who were overwhelmed at Primosole Bridge, deep inside enemy territory. Facing searing heat and a lack of transports, Allied forces raced to reconnect with their Airborne comrades before they were overwhelmed, stopping only when they came under fire on the road to Primosole.
