Wehrmachtbericht reference
The daily Wehrmachtbericht (Wehrmacht propaganda report) noted the following:
| Date | Original German Wehrmachtbericht wording | Direct English translation |
|---|---|---|
| 16 March 1944 | An der Südfront griff der Feind nach ungewöhnlich schweren Bombenangriffen, von starker Artillerie und Panzern unterstützt, den Ort Cassino an. Die Angriffe scheiterten am heldenhaften Widerstand des hier eingesetzten Fallschirmjägerregiments 3 unter Führung des Oberst Heilmann und unter wirksamer Unterstützung durch das Werferregiment 71 und Führung des Oberleutnants Andreae.[3] | On the Southern Front, following an unusually heavy bombardment, supported by strong artillery and tanks, the enemy attacked the town Cassino. The attacks failed due to the heroic resistance of the here employed Parachute Regiment 3 under the leadership of Colonel Heilmann and effectively supported by the Mortar Regiment 71 under the leadership of First Lieutenant Andreae. |
