The jump from North Africa to Italy began with great Allied success, including the surrender of the Italian government in September of 1943, however, breaking out of Italy proved nearly impossible as German resistance bottlenecked American and British offensives in the North. However, once the Normandy front opened, Germany weakened the Italian front to aid the defenders in France, allowing the Allies to slowly continue advancing in the Summer of 1944. \u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 59+ year old Item is rated Near Mint \/ Very Fine+.
