Austro-Hungarian forces, reinforced by German units, were able to break into the Italian front line and rout the Italian army, which had practically no mobile reserves. Austro-German forces advanced more than 100 km in the direction of Venice, but they were not able to cross the river Piave, where the Italians (with substantial help from French, British and American allies) established a new defensive line, which they held for the rest of the war. The bloody aftermath of the battle was vivdly described by Ernest Hemingway in his novel A Farewell to Arms. Caporetto
