The Enemy's Intentions South of the PO after the Loss of Ravenna and Bologna Estimate by J.I.C. (A.F.)

Defensive works have been prepared on both sides of the RENO River from the coast to CENTO (L.8574), consisting of weapon pits, MG positions and short fire trenches; no field artillery emplacements have been noted. These defences have little depth, are not continuous and do not extend S.W. from CENTO. A similar system of minor defences is seen in the area of MODENA in the form of an arc running S.E. to East to N.E. at a distance of approximately 2 km from the city. The two systems are entirely independent and there is no evidence either from P.R.
