Bernhardt Line - Definition and Overview

The Bernhardt Line (or Reinhard Line) was a German defensive line in Italy during World War II. Unlike most of the other defensive lines it did not run all the way across Italy, but was merely a bulge in the Gustav Line in the region of Monte Cassino, enclosing the town of San Piesca. The Bernhardt line was not as strong as the Gustav Line, and was intended only to delay the Allies arrival at the Gustav Line.

The US Fifth Army began to attack the Bernhardt Line on 5 November 1943, and the attacks continued into December. The line was defended by XIV Panzer Corps.
