Soviet Victory over Germany in World War II

Introduction

The expulsion of the Axis in North Africa immediately raised the possibility of opening a new front in Europe. A front by which Stalin came crying to relieve pressure suffered by the Soviet Army on the Eastern Front. In July 1943 Anglo-American troops landed in Sicily. The proximity of the Allied threat, coupled with the continued failures of the Italian armies led to that part of the dome of the state decided to get rid of Mussolini. After the interview that Hitler and Mussolini held on July 19 in which, he further gave advice to the Duce in southern Italy and retreat to the cento and south of the peninsula, on July 25 the Fascist Grand Council voted against the Duce who forced to give up their powers. The next day, King Victor Emmanuel III ordered the arrest of Mussolini and instructed to form a government of General Pietro Badoglio, who, despite proclaiming their loyalty to the alliance with Germany, immediately began negotiations with the Allies.

Discussion

When the war broke out, Russia was in desperate need of qualified personnel. It was suggested that a group of about 140 former intelligence and security officers be released from jail, a request that revealed Beria's cynicism and simplicity in dealing with the fate of men. In early September, things happened very quickly. The Allies landed on the southern peninsula and the government of Badoglio signed an armistice on 8 September. The German reaction was swift: Reich troops occupied the north and center of the country, establishing a defensive line north of Naples. On September 12th, Mussolini was freed and settled in the area occupied by the Nazis called the Italian Social Republic, the fascist government that followed the guidelines of Berlin (Roger, 825). Italy was thus divided into two: the south, allied troops with many difficulties began the conquest of the country in the north and center, the German troops with the help of Italian fascists who had to face increasing internal resistance led by the Communists. Overcoming a tough resistance that had moments of great intensity and the battle of Monte Cassino, the Anglo-American armies liberated Rome on June 4, 1944.However, the last line of defense in the Apennines, the "Gothic Line", held out until April 1945, shortly before the final defeat of the Axis in Europe. On April 28, 1945, Mussolini, he tried to flee to Germany, was captured by anti-fascist fighters and shot (Michael, 59).
