The breakthrough in the Soca Front (more commonly known to historians as the Isonzo Front) by the combined Austrian, Hungarian, German and Slovenian forces near Kobarid in October 1917 was one of the costliest battles in terms of human life the world has ever known. By the time the fighting had stopped 17 days after it had begun, hundreds of thousands of soldiers lay dead or wounded. They lay writhing and screaming in the blood-drenched earth, gassed and mutilated beyond recognition with limbs missing and faces torn away.

The sketches of the breakthrough In the Kobarid Museum by one Lieutenant Erwin Rommel, who became known as the 'Desert Fox' while commanding Germany's North African offensive in WW II, are invaluable for understanding the battle. But nothing is more vivid than the description of the Italian retreat in Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway was wounded on the Gorica battlefield in the spring of 1917 while driving an Italian ambulance.

The 12th Offensive was the greatest breakthrough in World War l. It was also one of the most difficult mountain battles and the first successful 'lightning war' (blitzkrieg) in the history of European warfare. The Italians alone lost 500,000 soldiers and another 250,000 were taken prisoner. But If we count the casualties on the Soca Front for the entire 1915-17 period, that number grows to almost a million including soldiers on the battlefields and men, women and children behind the lines.

Around a million men of various nationalities were slaughtered on both sides (Italian and Austro-Hungarian) over just 29 months of trench warfare for strategic positions on numerous mountain peaks and remote valleys. The War Museum in Kobarid (www.kobariski-muzej.si/) preserves priceless memories of that tragic time.
