The Etna line during WWII was an Axis defensive line running from Randazzo, through Troina, and on to the great active volcano itself, Mount Etna. After being driven into the northeast corner of Sicily, the Axis forces, Italian and German, needed to hold the Allies long enough to give them time to evacuate their most valuable units to the mainland of Italy through Messina.
