June 1944. Outskirts of Anzio, Italy. The young woman collapsed when Captain James Miller, a medical officer with the U.S. Army's 10th Field Hospital, tried to help her stand. "Non posso alzarmi!" she cried weakly – "I can't stand up!" Her legs, thin as broomsticks, could not support even her severely underweight frame. The horror in Miller's eyes wasn't from the discovery of another "comfort house" – Allied forces had encountered dozens as they pushed north through Italy – but from the severe medical conditions he witnessed. These women, most between 16 and 24 years old, displayed symptoms beyond the expected trauma of sexual exploitation. Clinical signs of advanced malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies, and untreated diseases presented a medical emergency that transcended the already difficult moral circumstances.
