Italian Mainland and Sicily

Germany's largest ally, Italy fought as best as its poorly led and equipped armed forces could allow. Though the nation capitulated to the Allies following the loss of Sicily and an invasion of the mainland in 1943, German forces, along with some Italian units still loyal to her, quickly occupied the nation and made the Allies fight tooth-and-nail for the next two years through the hills and mountains of Italy all the way up to the end of the war in 1945.
