Venice Celebrates Allied Entry as Troops Enter City
Venetian crowds cheered Allied troops as British and New Zealand forces moved into Venice. The German garrison of about 600 offered little resistance while the city’s bridges, canals, and landmarks remained intact aside from harbor damage and a few shattered windows at San Marco. Soldiers relaxed with locals, gondolas sailed again, and remnants of fascist formations fled or hid as the city began its postwar spectacle.
