New Zealander George Silk's withheld photos from Anzio in WWII released
"Here, on the 70th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Anzio,
LIFE.com presents a series of Silk’s photographs — many of them never
published before — that graphically illustrate the grueling stalemate,
accompanied always by lethal violence, that defined the operation. Roughly
7,000 Allied troops were killed in those four months. Another 36,000 were

killed) while more than 4,000 surrendered and were taken prisoner.
