Badoglio weighs peace bid as unrest climbs in Italy
Amid rising Italian unrest, Badoglio moves toward peace offers while Mussolini’s Legislature is dissolved. Rome reports the Chamber of Fasci and Corporations ended, with King Vittorio Emanuele III approving, and a new deputies chamber to be elected after the war. Release of political prisoners begins, expanding through 4,000 freed so far. The Allies hold 248,000+ Axis captives in Tunisia and 75,000 in Sicily. German efforts to line up a new front in Northern Italy mirror mounting civilian and troop movements.
