Italian Campaign

The Italian Campaign in World War II (1943-1945) was a series of battles aimed at defeating Nazi Germany's forces in Italy. It began with Allied invasions of Sicily and mainland Italy, leading to the fall of the fascist regime. The campaign involved tough fighting in mountainous terrain and numerous cities, with significant battles like Monte Cassino and Anzio. It aimed to divert German resources and weaken their hold in Europe. Ultimately, the Allies succeeded, contributing to the liberation of Italy and opening a path for further advances into southern Europe. The campaign was marked by both victories and heavy casualties.
