31st December 1944: (11.58pm)
"Throughout the length of the Italian battlefield the Germans celebrated the coming on the New Year by firing multi coloured VEREY LIGHTS and Tracer, ranging from MG to heavy AA Guns."
1st Jan 1945: (0001 am)
"The Germans heralded the New Year with a magnificent firework display along the complete Italian front and in the plains. It consisted of AA guns firing tracer straight up in the sky, MGs opening up, and different coloured Verey Lights fired indiscriminately. It lasted about ten minutes and was no doubt enjoyed by both sides."
