GORIZIA 1916~~THE SIXTH BATTLE OF THE ISONZO

 

The Sixth Battle of the River Isonzo (August 1916) had been planned for a long time by the Italian High Command. They had learned from the bitter experiences of former fruitless and bloody offensives aimed at forcing a crossing of the Isonzo, and this time were able to achieve complete surprise.

The Story

The start of the Battle was delayed by the Austro-Hungarian Spring Offensive (the Strafexpedition) which took place during May – June 1916. This had necessitated the diversion of Italian divisions from the Isonzo to the Province of Trentino. Ironically, this interruption to their plans worked to the Italians’ advantage. The Austro-Hungarian High Command underestimated the speed with which the Italians were able to re-deploy their troops and guns to the Isonzo theatre and so were unprepared for the carefully planned attack on Gorizia.

This is World War I at its most pitiless and savage...
