Anzio landing
| Морской словарь |
The allied amphibious assault on anzio, italy in 1944 was code-named shingle. the invasion force arrived without detection and landed with virtually no opposition. however, as was demonstrated at calamita bay in 1854 and gallipoli (suvla bay) in 1915, a strange lethargy sometimes comes over the commanders of unopposed landings. only two understrength and exhausted german divisions were nearby and the road to rome lay open, but u.s. generals clark and lucas decided to wait for heavy weapons, tanks, supplies, and reserve troops to land. churchill was exasperated, saying “i thought we were hurling a wildcat onto the shore, but all we got was a stranded whale!” by the fourth day, the panicked germans had rushed reinforcements from northern italy, southern france, yugoslavia, and germany itself. although aware of this, lucas was still intent on building up his own force. when supreme allied commander, british general alexander, urged him to advance, he replied “i will not be stampeded.” it was not until the ninth day that he launched his offensive, and by then it was far too late. counter-attacks drove the anglo-americans back to their beachhead where, for three months, they suffered the privations of trench warfare, under continuous observation, swept by gunfire, and pummeled by aerial bombardment.

Aphrodite, английский
This goddess of erotic love (who is not to be confused with poseidon’s wife amphitrite). was a nymphomaniac who had affairs with virtually every male god in the greek pantheon, as well as most of the great heroes, and a large number of ordinary mortals. there are conflicting myths about her genesis. homer says she was the daughter of the chief greek god zeus and an oceeanide named dione; but hesiod tells us she sprang from frothy bubbles which gathered about the severed genitals of uranus as they floated on the sea towards the island of cyprus (her name supports hesiod’s version, because aphros means sea foam in greek).
Any port in a storm, английский
