Answer

Operation Turtle was an Allied offensive in Italy in April 1945. It was launched by the US Fifth Army under General Mark Clark, with the aim of capturing the city of Bologna. However, Clark's alleged ignoring of orders from his superiors facilitated the escape of the German 10th Army. This resulted in the Battle of Bologna, which ended in a stalemate.
