Operation AXIOM: The World War—The Endless Battles of the Isonzo, Part III
9-15 March 1916: The Fifth Battle of the Isonzo—The Italians attacked again, having regrouped & reorganized their forces over the winter; the offensive was initiated at the desperate insistence of the French, designed more to draw Central Powers forces away from the Eastern Front & the "world blood pump" at Verdun than directly to achieve Italy's war aims.









Lest we forget.
