The bloody battle for Italy (Full WW2 Documentary)
In 1943, the Allies began one of the most controversial epsiodes of the Second World War - The Italian Campaign. While the British claimed that Italy was the 'soft underbelly' of Europe, it turned out to be a 'tough old gut'. From the sunny shores of Sicily to the barren peaks of the Gustav Line, Allied soldiers faced dogged German and Italian resistance as they edged their way up the Italian Peninsula.
In this video, we'll be taking an in-depth look at the Italian campaign. We'll explore the key moments and decisions that shaped the fighting and try to understand was it really worth it?
This video is a supercut of a three part series previously posted to this channel.

Even as the Allied and Axis commanders focus on the sweeping warfare of the Eastern Front and the planning for the invasion of Europe, their men continue to fight a grinding war of attrition high in the Italian mountains.

Why the invasion of Italy almost failed
In July of 1943, the Allies had a problem. More than two weeks into the battle for Sicily, the Allied leaders had failed to decide what would happen next. They were locked in a fierce debate. The Americans wanted to take the most direct route into the Third Reich via France. While the British wanted more time to build their forces.
But on the 25th of July 1943, everything changed. The Fascist Grand Council deposed the Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini and his successor began secret peace negotiations with the Allies. Now, the Allies planned to take advantage of the coup and knock Italy out of the war with an invasion of the Italian mainland.
The invasion was supposed to be a simple one. But the reality was very different. In this second episode of our Italian Campaign series, sponsored...

Battle of Anzio: The Difficult Italian Campaign | Frontlines Ep. 03 | Documentary
The Battle of Anzio was a crucial turning point in the Italian Campaign during World War 2.
In early 1944, during World War 2, Allied forces landed on the beaches of Anzio in a bold attempt to outflank German defenses and open a path to Rome. However, the German response was swift and forceful, and the Allies were soon bogged down in a brutal and bloody battle for control of the beachhead during World War 2. Despite facing significant odds, the Allies held on and eventually broke out of the beachhead, leading to the liberation of Rome and paving the way for the eventual defeat of Germany in World War 2. The Battle of Anzio remains one of the most notable events of the Italian Campaign and a testament to the bravery and determination of the Allied forces during World War 2.

In July of 1943, the Allies had a problem. More than two weeks into the battle for Sicily, the Allied leaders had failed to decide what would happen next. They were locked in a fierce debate. The Americans wanted to take the most direct route into the Third Reich via France. While the British wanted more time to build their forces.
But on the 25th of July 1943, everything changed. The Fascist Grand Council deposed the Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini and his successor began secret peace negotiations with the Allies. Now, the Allies planned to take advantage of the coup and knock Italy out of the war with an invasion of the Italian mainland.
The invasion was supposed to be a simple one. But the reality was very different. In this second episode of our Italian Campaign series, sponsored by Company of Heroes 3, we'll examine the Allied invasion of Italy and how perilously close it came to catastrophe.

The Battle of Anzio was a crucial turning point in the Italian Campaign during World War 2.
In early 1944, during World War 2, Allied forces landed on the beaches of Anzio in a bold attempt to outflank German defenses and open a path to Rome. However, the German response was swift and forceful, and the Allies were soon bogged down in a brutal and bloody battle for control of the beachhead during World War 2. Despite facing significant odds, the Allies held on and eventually broke out of the beachhead, leading to the liberation of Rome and paving the way for the eventual defeat of Germany in World War 2. The Battle of Anzio remains one of the most notable events of the Italian Campaign and a testament to the bravery and determination of the Allied forces during World War 2.
