From December 21st, two 1st Canadian Infantry Divisions, 2nd Brigade Battalions, the Loyal Edmonton Regiment, and a Canadian Seaforth Highlanders began with the advance through the narrow streets of Ortona. Soon they were engaged in a fearsome street fighting against men of the 2nd Battalion, the 3rd Parachute Regiment, 1st Parachute Division. Because the fighting raged for every street, building and room, the battle became known as "Italian Stalingrad".
