New: the Interactive Campaign Map. Follow every company of the 362nd
day by day from the Gothic Line to the Alps, on a wartime-style map rebuilt from the
regiment's own records.

A note on accuracy: the map is based on the regiment's daily morning reports, checked against the regimental history. The company clerks who kept those reports were writing in the field, and they were not always accurate. Map grids were often recorded wrong or with digits flipped, and village names were frequently misspelled. We have done our best to find and correct these errors, but we cannot guarantee every position.

Battle Maps
These are the period 1:50,000 topographic map sheets covering the ground the 362nd Infantry fought across—the same scale of map many of its officers used. They are arranged in order of the regiment's advance, from the Pisa hills in July 1944 to the Venetian plain in May 1945. Each is a high-resolution scan you can download and zoom in on.
Follow the maps in sequence (with your morning reports side-by-side) and you trace the whole campaign: across the Arno to Florence,
up over the Gothic Line at Futa, the long Apennine winter on Highway 65, then the spring
breakout through Bologna, across the Po, and on to Udine.
