The Environment Was Very Hostile
“Soldiers had to fight against the extreme environment, fight against the snow or the avalanches, but also fight against the enemy,” explained Stefano Morosini when the Stelvio National Park historian talked to CNN just this May. The temperature dropped to below -40° Fahrenheit on several occasions. Furthermore, blizzards raged throughout the landscape as the guys attempted to reach the summit.
Not Easy To Send Things Up There
It was difficult for governments to supply food and supplies to all of the soldiers on the front lines. The men were frigid and hungry, but they had no choice but to fight for their lives. Furthermore, analysts believe that the atmosphere up there killed more troops than any other fight during the conflict.
