Grimaldi Tunnel

The Grimaldi Tunnel was a tunnel in Italy of minor importance, but it was guarded jealously by the SS. It was located somewhere near the town of Reanoto. Colonel Jannings placed great strategic importance on the tunnel, and insisted, against all evidence to the contrary, that it was the main target of the American demolition team led by Captain Turner. He ultimately diverted almost all of the German forces in the area to the Grimaldi Tunnel, leaving the vastly more important Della Norte Dam manned by a smaller contingent of troops.
