today we finished our horrid presentation.........
one month until my birthday
now were moving on to the mediteratian front
this started after the african front.
stalin was pretty not happy about going and attacking italy.. or africa.. because he really wanted to attack france.
the allies advanced torwards rome which was blocked by kesselring's gustav line, allies landed 50000
churchill thought that italy was very weak, mark clark gound it to be one tough gut
the american forces wanted to put off invading italy until we invaded italy
the allied invasion of sicily began in july of 1943, codenamed operation husky
this resulted in evacuating the german and italian forced the last left on august 17 1943
allied forces gained experience in opposed amphibious operations coalition warefare and mass airborne drop
the british invaded italy in 1943.. they entered through the toe of italy
the italian government surrendered pretty quickly.. so people thought that the war there ended quickly.. but they forgot there were germans there and the fighting ended up going to like about a month before the end of the war.
the aennine mountains made the battle in italy diificult
