The fighting in the mountains of Italy in WWII was so horrendous that the famed American 10th Mountain Division, customarily found on skis, was called into the fight. One of those soldiers in the 10th Mountain Division was Bob Dole, later a famed Senator from Kansas and Presidential candidate. Dole was severely wounded in the Italian mountains on Hill 913 outside of Castel d’Aiano.
