Summary- The allies landed in Sicily, Salerno and Rome and did not subject themselves to Mussolini's fascist government. Hitlers next move was to move Germans in Italy to save Mussolini and bring him back to Germany. However, when Mussolini returned to home ground Italy he was hung alongside his mistress in 1945.
