Allied Progress

As time moved on Germany had grown. Its empire now extended from France to part of Russia to Africa. With this large territory came a great amount of responsibility to hold it. Germany was also receiving oil and materials from outside this landscape to fuel its army and future conquests. From our homework video we now know that the Allies attacked from the south. They tricked the Germans into thinking they were going to invade at Sardinia, but infiltrated the German lines at Sicily. The Americans on the West of Italy and the British on the East, they made steady progress and soon took Italy. During this time Mussolini had been overthrown and killed, later to be hung in the street for all to see. The events indicated that Hitler's Germany was now weak and falling back and soon the United States would not only be fighting the Germans, but Japan as well.
