The plan behind the Anzio landing was for the U.S. VI Corps under Major-General John Lucas to land behind the German lines at the same time that the frontal assault on Cassino was being launched in January 1944. Advancing rapidly inland VI Corps was to cut German communications between Rome and Cassino, and either isolate the German Tenth Army or compel it to abandon the western end of the Gustav Line. The Operation was a failure. The fist landing took place on the 22^nd of January, most of the 50,000 troops were ashore within the next two days. Instead of pressing inland Lucas decided to wait for his heavy artillery and tanks, and meanwhile dig in to consolidate the beach head. Not so much as a reconnaissance in force did he venture. The Germans, as usual reacted swiftly.
