Animated Map: The Italian Campaign

After the defeat of the Axis forces in North Africa, the stage is set for the Allies to re-enter the occupied European mainland. American and British forces agree that an invasion should take place in Italy, hoping that a defeat would lead to the fall of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.

Follow the Allied forces as they invade Sicily and battle their way into Italy, all the way from Salerno in the south to the Alps in the north.
