>"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
>wounded or missing in action. The Germans suffered 40,000 casualties (5,000
>killed) while more than 4,000 surrendered and were taken prisoner.
