James Holland: Alright, Al—February 1944, and we’re at the Anzio beachhead, where the Allies have landed behind enemy lines in Italy. The idea? A quick dash to Rome. The reality? A complete slog, with the Germans throwing everything they’ve got at pushing the Allies back into the sea. And their big counterattack? Operation Fischfang. Come on, Al—that name alone deserves a T-shirt!
Al Murray: Oh, absolutely—it’s got everything: a ridiculous name, a desperate last-ditch offensive, and some of the toughest fighting of the Italian campaign. The Germans, led by Kesselring, went all in—artillery barrages, Panzer assaults, and waves of infantry trying to smash through the thin Allied lines. But did it work? Not a chance. The Allies dug in, took an absolute battering, and still held firm. Proper grit and determination.
James Holland: And that’s exactly what this design captures—the sheer ferocity of the attack. The shark motif? Perfect—because that’s what Fischfang was supposed to be: a ruthless, unstoppable bite. Instead, it ended up as the moment the Germans realised the Allies weren’t going anywhere. If you love your history with a bit of irony and a whole lot of firepower, this is the T-shirt to wear at WarFest.

A Bit About the T-Shirt (And Why You Should Check Your Size!)
Al Murray: Now, let’s talk about the T-shirt itself—this isn’t some cheap knockoff; it’s print-on-demand, which means no wasted stock sitting in a warehouse somewhere gathering dust. Instead, every shirt is printed just for you, which is a win for both history lovers and the planet.
James Holland: Absolutely. But, and this is important—check your size before you order. We don’t want loads of returns bouncing around, adding to unnecessary emissions. Pick the right fit, wear it with pride, and show the world you know your history.
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
