211- Italy Surrenders - September 10, 1943

Dwight Eisenhower publicly announces the secret armistice signed last week, and Italy is now officially out of the war. The Italian Fleet sails for Malta and Allied captivity. The Allies have landed in force in Southern Italy and they do face some heavy opposition from German forces- who have no intention of giving up Italy. In the USSR, though, the Soviets continue liberating territory all over Ukraine as they force the Germans back to the Dnieper River.

One in the Axis down, two more to go. Who will it be next, I wonder?

I am liking the new thumbnail design! The old was fantastic, but at least personally I think the new look “pops” better, might hopefully lead to some more folks roaming YouTube to take a look

Great episode showing how all the Axis forces - Germany and Japan - are in retreat

Technically more. Hungarians, Romanians, Thailand, to a lesser extent Bulgarians, and some puppet/client states still linger.

Lew is British for John.

Are there any estimates for what WW II cost in dollars, pounds, etc. that could otherwise have been spent on economic development, etc.

A note to everyone. In February, 1943; Adolf Hitler ordered the recreation of the three panzer divisions (14., 16., & 24.); three panzergrenadier divisions (3., 29., & 60.); 100. Jager Division; and thirteen infantry divisions (44., 71., 76., 79., 94., 113., 295., 297., 305., 371., 376., 384., & 389.) lost at Stalingrad. The foundation of these divisions were the men who had recovered from their wounds and illness that had been evacuated from Stalingrad before the surrender of the German 6th Army. So, you are going to see in the Italian campaign the appearence of the overwhelming majority of these recreated divisions with a core of Stalingrad veterans to combat the advancing US 5th and British 8th Armies.

I heard a long time ago that the US bill for WW2 in today's money would be over three trillion.

It is hard to comprehend how Hitler managed to get as decent night's sleep. His thousand year Reich will be lucky to survive a couple more years but I guess we will just have to wait and see.
