Document Summary
Invasion of sicily: moro river campaign december 4-26th, battle of ortona december 20-28th 1943, the hitler line (may 1944) In taking sicily, the mediterranean would become an allied body of water. They landed in july, but battles would continue until august. In nearby italy, mussolini would be toppled on the 25th of july. This did not mean that italy was won for the allies, the germans took control of the country. The allies began moving up the italian boot. The germans continued to withdraw, setting mines and bombs, destroying what was in place. The most difficult fighting would be in ortona. At ortona, people had assumed that the germans would continue to withdraw, however this was not the case. The battle in ortona went house to house. The germans would finally withdraw in december 1943. The battle for rome began on the 11th of may 1944. This would be the first time that the canadian core would fight together.
