Which operation took place farther north, Operation Nordwind or Gothic Line?
Gothic Line The Gothic Line (German: "Gotenstellung" ; Italian: "Linea Gotica" ) was a German defensive line of the Italian Campaign of World War II. It formed Field Marshal Albert Kesselring's last major line of defence along the summits of the northern part of the Apennine Mountains during the fighting retreat of the German forces in Italy against the Allied Armies in Italy, commanded by General Sir Harold Alexander.
Italian invasion of Egypt The Italian invasion of Egypt ("Operazione E") was an Italian offensive against British, Commonwealth and Free French forces during the Western Desert Campaign (1940–1943) of the Second World War. The goal of the offensive was to seize the Suez Canal; the Italian forces in Libya would have to advance along the coast, across northern Egypt to the canal. After numerous delays, the aim of the offensive was reduced to an advance into Egypt, as far as Sidi Barrani and attacks on any British forces in the area.
