Mussolini Fall and Allied Push Near Italy
Reports from Italian sources say Mussolini is a very sick and discredited figure as Mussolini’s overthrow unfolds. German and Italian moves unfold with Allied air and sea bombings, Rome and Naples threatened, and new fronts opening in northern Italy as Mussolini’s regime collapses.
