"D-Day, the successful Allied landing in Normandy on June 6, 1944, heralded the final phase of the Second World War: But even after securing their bridgeheads in France, the American, British and Canadian units faced further enormous sacrifices. Operation Cobra, an offensive near Caen supported by massive bombing, weakened the German lines enough for the Allies to achieve a breakthrough. From August 1944 they were able to consolidate their troops and at the same time advance towards Paris, despite bitter German resistance."

"In September 1944, the Allies risked a gamble. The landing in the Dutch provinces of Noord-Brabant and Gelderland is intended to enable a rapid advance into the Ruhr area. But the success of \u201cOperation Market Garden\u201d depends on the perfect interaction of several factors: the dropping of tens of thousands of paratroopers behind enemy lines must be successful, as well as the capture of several fiercely defended bridges. It is also important to neutralize one of the best-equipped German tank divisions. In fact, the risky operation does not turn out as hoped."

"In July 1943, Italy left the alliance with Germany. Mussolini is arrested and at the beginning of September the new Italian government concludes a ceasefire with the Allies.

Their goal is to liberate Europe from the south. However, they encounter bitter German resistance and well-developed defense lines. The battles that followed were among the bloodiest of the Second World War."
