What happens
The attempt to rescue Mussolini has failed with heavy loss of life. Overloaded with troops and equipment, several of the gliders used to transport the paratroopers failed to gain sufficient altitude to cross a mountain and crashed in bad weather. With only a small part of the assault force available, the commander decided to gamble on speed and surprise. Unfortunately, the prison guards were by this part on full alert and opened fire when the assault group tried to force their way into the hotel. After a brief fight, with his position untenable and running low on ammunition, the commander offered the surrender of his force.
