Planners argued that if Kesselring ( in charge of German forces in Italy ) pulled troops out of the Gustav Line to defend against the Allied assault, then Allied forces would be able to break through the line ; if Kesselring did not pull troops out of the Gustav Line, then Operation Shingle would threaten to capture Rome and cut off the German units defending the Gustav Line.

German Field Marshal Albert Kesselring commanded the four German divisions at Anzio, which included the Herman Goering Division and the 35th Panzer Grenadier Regiment of the 16th SS Panzergrenadier Division Reichsführer-SS Division.

The Force's constant night raids forced Kesselring to fortify the German positions in their area with more men then he had originally planned.

The German Fourteenth Army facing this thrust was without any armoured divisions because Kesselring had sent his armour south to help the German Tenth Army in the Cassino action.

As well, Italy occupied by a hostile German army would have created additional problems for the German Commander-in-Chief Albert Kesselring.

German commander Albrecht Kesselring and his staff did not believe the Calabria landings were the main Allied attack, the Salerno region or possibly even north of Naples or even ppRome

On hearing of the landings at Termoli, the German supreme commander in Italy — Generalfeldmarshall Albert Kesselring — ordered the 16th Panzer Division to switch to the Adriatic front, presenting a major threat to the unsupported Allied infantry.

Arsenic and Old Lace is a play by American playwright Joseph Kesselring, written in 1939.

When Kesselring taught at Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas, he lived in a boarding house called the Goerz House, and many of the features of its living room are reflected in the Brewster sisters ' living room, where the action of the play is set.

Kesselring originally conceived the play as a heavy drama, but it is widely believed that producers Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse ( who were also well known as play doctors ) convinced Kesselring that it would be much more effective as a comedy.

In anticipation of the following spring, Kesselring ordered the preparation of a new defence line, the Caesar C line, behind the line of beachhead running from the mouth of the river Tiber just south of Rome through Albano, skirting south of the Alban Hills to Valmontone and across Italy to the Adriatic coast at Pescara, behind which 14th Army and, to their left, 10th Army might withdraw when the need arose.

However, Kesselring divined the Allies ' intentions ; on 18 November, Lemelsen had signaled Kesselring to the effect that the Allied concentrations on the coast led him to expect the main attack on his left wing.

Nevertheless, prior to the Allies ' attack, Kesselring had declared himself satisfied with the work done, especially on the Adriatic side where he "... contemplated an assault on the left wing .... with a certain confidence ".

It was tested in the late 1970s and early 1980s at the Modifications and Additions to a Reactor Facility ( MARF ) plant located at the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory's Kesselring Site in Ballston Spa, New York.

These facilities include Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory in West Mifflin, PA and its associated Naval Reactors Facility in Idaho, and Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in Niskayuna, NY and its associated Kesselring site in West Milton, NY, all under the management of the office of Naval Reactors.

Sometimes there were full-scale nuclear-powered prototype plants built at the Naval Reactors Facility, Kesselring, and Windsor Locks ( in CT ) to test the nuclear plants, which were operated for years to train nuclear-qualified sailors.

The second nuclear submarine was, which was initially powered by a sodium-cooled S2G reactor, and supported by the land-based S1G reactor at the Kesselring site under Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory operated by General Electric.

The terrain of central Italy had proved ideally suited to defense, and Field Marshal Albert Kesselring took full advantage.

Heinrich von Vietinghoff, commanding the Gustav Line, called for reinforcements, and Kesselring transferred the 29th and 90th Panzergrenadier Divisions from Rome.

Kesselring was informed of the landings at 03: 00 on January 22.

Although the landings came as a surprise, Kesselring had made contingency plans to deal with possible landings at all the likely locations.

In addition, he requested that OKW send reinforcements, and in response to this they ordered the equivalent of more than three divisions from France, Yugoslavia, and Germany whilst at the same time releasing to Kesselring a further three divisions in Italy which had been under OKW's direct command.

Kesselring initially considered that a successful defence could not be made if the Allies launched a major attack on January 23 or January 24.
