Quick Facts Active, Disbanded ...

A new 10th Army was activated in 1943 in response to the Allied invasion of Italy. (Nothing to do with Adolf Hitler's last stand which came later.) It saw action notably in late 1943 and early 1944 along the "Winter Line" at the Battle of San Pietro Infine and the Battle of Monte Cassino, before finally surrendering near the Alps. Among its troops at Cassino were the XIV Panzer Corps and Parachute divisions of the Luftwaffe.[1]
