Description
After a successful campaign in Sicily in August 1943, the Allies decided to invade Italy. Operation Avalanche, the invasion of Salerno, began a long and frustrating campaign in Italy that bogged down Allied troops for the next two years. Join a ranger to explore why the Italian campaign became more complicated than it should have.
