The Moro River Campaign was a military campaign during the Second World War fought between units of the British 8th Army and the LXXVI Panzer Corps (LXXVI Panzerkorps) of the German Tenth Army (10. Armee). Lasting from 4–26 December 1943, the campaign occurred primarily in the vicinity of the Moro River in eastern Italy. The campaign was designed as part of an offensive launched by General Harold Alexander with the intention of breaching the German Winter Line defensive system and advancing to Pescara — and eventually Rome.
