24 October-3 November 1918: The Battle of Vittorio Veneto—The Italians marshaled their strength through the fall, despite insistent pleas for offensive action from their Entente allies, then launched a massive offensive, which included an amphibious assault against Trieste & captured 300,000 P.O.W.; the multi-pronged offensive drove the disintegrating Austro-Hungarian Empire to the peace table.
Lest we forget.
