Allies May Have to Take Italy Before Tackling Nazis
DeWITT MacKENZIE argues Italy is a soft underbelly of the Axis due to Mussolini's weak leadership and Italian reluctance. He notes Italy's strategic position, the Axis grip on the Mediterranean, and the potential for an Allied invasion after North Africa, with a large Tunisian-based force ready for operations against Sicily and northern Italy. The piece ties invasion timing to broader Western Front plans and Mediterranean strategy.
