I can remember my Dad, who was in Italy at the time, not being overly impressed with General Mark Clark. He'd been ordered to cut off Kesselring's Army which was moving north following the Battle of Monte Casino, but decided to go for Rome instead. Kesselring was able to extract his army and build another defensive line in Northern Italy which pretty much stalemated the war in that country.
My Old Man referred to Clark with a word that rhymes with banker.
