The Gothic line is up in the mountains north of Pisa-Firence, and the Allied forces arrived there only in September 1944.
In March 1944, the royal goverment had no effectuve jurisdiction over the area north of Rom up to this 'Gothic line'. So, what Baldini writes cannot be the truth. But that does not answer the situation in the open city Rome, where the king had his seat and some kind of power.
In 1944-04, the "Linea Gustav" was more or less the defensive boundary of the German occupation. It was well south of Rome, so Rome was administered by German troops. Michael Deckers.
