Gothic Line: The Brazilians of the Forca Expedicionaria Brasilera (FEB) arrive in central Italy. They number 25,000 men, and as many as 15,000 will take active part in the fighting to break through the Gothic Line. The feat is also celebrated in the military museum in Rio de Janeiro. They are initially deployed in Lucca, but are soon moved to the high Apennines near Bologna. They will be the first to enter Montese, in the Province of Modena. They are attached to the American Fifth Army.
