Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of Caporetto

A surprise Austro-Hungarian and German assault using innovative infiltration tactics shattered the Italian Second Army, triggering a catastrophic rout. The Italian front collapsed as troops fled westward in panic, losing over 300,000 prisoners and nearly 700,000 total casualties. The Italians retreated nearly 100 miles to the Piave River before stabilizing their lines. The disaster was so complete that 'Caporetto' became an Italian byword for catastrophic defeat.
