Gemmano is a nice small town on a hill high less 500 metres that dominate the Conca river valley. Gemmano is also a
very important place for the Gebirgsjager of the 100 GJ Regiment in September 1944. Here Oberstleutnant Richard Ernst and his men was crucial to stop the British Division for two weeks on this hill to give time to Kesselring to reorganize his forces on Rimini Line... Gemmano today ...
