The Battle of Ortona (20–28 December 1943) was a battle fought between two battalions of elite German Fallschirmjäger (paratroops) from the German 1st Parachute Division under Generalleutnant Richard Heidrich, and assaulting Canadian troops from the 1st Canadian Infantry Division under Major General Christopher Vokes. It was the culmination of the fighting on the Adriatic front in Italy during "Bloody December". The battle was known to those who fought it as the "Italian Stalingrad," for the brutality of its close-quarters combat, which was only worsened by the chaotic rubble of the town and the many booby traps used by both sides. The battle took place in the small Adriatic Sea town of Ortona (Abruzzo), with a peacetime population of 10,000.

  • Bitwa o Ortonę – seria krótkotrwałych, ale zaciętych walk toczonych przez batalion niemieckich Fallschirmjäger (spadochroniarzy) z 1 Dywizji Spadochronowej pod dowództwem gen. Richarda Heidricha, z kanadyjskimi siłami uderzeniowymi kanadyjskiej gen. w dniach 20–28 grudnia 1943 roku.
