'Divorce' (ii) was an Allied unrealised air plan to destroy the bridges over the Reno river, flowing through north-eastern Italy from the Apennine mountains to the Adriatic Sea, and thus prevent the flow of supplies to General Traugott Herr’s 10^th Army of Generaloberst Heinrich-Gottfried von Vietinghoff-Scheel’s Heeresgruppe 'C' on the front facing Lieutenant General Sir Richard McCreery’s British 8^th Army, and at the same time complicate the German formation’s retreat in the event that 'Buckland' proved successful (spring 1945).
