I do not have a lot of knowledge regards Gallipoli but from what I do know it seems that the Gallipoli operation was basically screwed from the begining. Between the poor operational security, the bad terrian, the mines and the Turks defense the Allies had little chance.

Anzio on the other hand was brillantly executed in the landing phase but Gen. Lucas failed to expand his beachhead in a timely fashion. Had Lucas pushed out further to interdict the roads that were just to the west of the beachhead the results would probably been totaly different.

I am reminded of two Bill Maudlin cartoons regards Anzio. The first was with the MP in the foxhole holding up the direction sign. The second was of Willie and Joe, I think, standing on the Alban Hills saying "look here they was and there we was"
