[edit] Winter Line / Gustav Line confusion

Does anyone know the exact relationship between the names Gustav Line and Winter Line? I find that some sources call it one, and some another, with no explanation. DJ Clayworth 17:18, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Here's what I find. Some sources ([1] [2] [3]) consider the Winter Line to be separate from the Gustav Line. Some sites ([4]) consider the Winter Line to be north of Rome. Some consider them to be the same thing. DJ Clayworth 19:09, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

The Germans appeared to talk about the Winter Line when Kesselring's strategy was being proposed i.e. holding Rome for as long as possible by preparing a Winter Line to the south to be held at all costs. In the event they built three lines: Gustav, Hitler and Caesar which I gues all the Winter Lines. (?) Stephen Kirrage 23:34, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duplication

This article is duplicated but in more detail by the Battle of Monte Cassino page. Some consolidation is needed. Stephen Kirrage 16:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
