This something I have been looking at for a while. Firstly the map below does show that their was a high amount of partisan actively fighting the germans in the area, if the map is correct. Secondly according to a book I have read, the forces in the area around the time were mainly Italian constricts trained in Germany who were used to garrison the area, mainly due to their general combat effectivetive, which was almost zilch. One decent German division was in the area as well. Presuming this is chosen over dragoon, could this be a good move on the allies part? They can hopefully cut off the Germans from retreating by cutting across into the Adriatic.
