Old Blood and Guts sure knew how to get us fired up to fight…just listen to him go!

Rommel and Montgomery fight back and forth across North Africa - Neither commander is able to gain an advantage - Late 1942: Western Task Force of the U.S. Army under Patton landed in Morocco - November 8th, Operation Torch began - Montgomery and Patton attack Rommel from the East and West forcing German military out of Africa

1) Repel Axis forces in Africa 2) Conquer Italy 3) Liberate France 4) Conquer Germany

The first step in the Allied invasion of Europe.

The first phase was to conquer Messina on the island of Sicily.

On July 10 th, 1943 Patton and Montgomery attacked Sicily. As in Africa, Montgomery came from the East and Patton from the West.

Sicily fell to the Allies on August 17 th, 1943.

It was a tough fight, but I got it done…I even beat Monty

Sicily: - The first step in the Allied invasion of Europe - The first phase was to conquer Messina on the island of Sicily - July 10th, 1943: Patton and Montgomery invade Sicily - August 17th, 1943: Sicily fell to the Allies

British forces landed on the toe of Italy on Sept. 3 rd, 1943

The Italian government surrendered on Sept 8 th, but Hitler was determined to fight on without their support. I quit… I always knew you were worthless

On Sept. 9 th, American forces landed in Salerno.

Southern Italy was now under Allied control.

Italy: - September 3rd, 1943: British forces land on the toe of Italy - September 8th, Italian government surrendered - Hitler determined to fight on without Italian support - September 9th, American forces land in Salerno - Southern Italy under Allied control

The fighting in the Italian campaign was very difficult…the mountainous terrain provided excellent shelter for German troops and slowed allied advances. Still, the Allies under Patton and Montgomery pushed forward.

Rome fell in June of The Italian Campaign was then put on the back burner pending Operation Overlord.

- Fighting in Northern Italy was very difficult - Mountainous terrain - Many German strongholds - Allied advance was slow - June 1944: Rome falls; Italian Campaign prioritized behind Operation Overlord

1) Repel Axis forces in Africa 2) Conquer Italy 3) Liberate France 4) Conquer Germany
