1943 in Europe
March 26, 2010Not too much in this post really.
1943 calls for a bunch of small things that kept the war going.
- The Soviets recapture much of Russia and start pushing the Germans from Russia, starting at Stalingrad
- The Axis surrenders in Africa, ending the war in the African theatre
- Allied forces invade Greece and Italy
- Mussolini’s Fascist government is overthrown, forcing the Fascist north
- The Italians sign an Armistice with the Allies
- The Official Italian government declares war on Germany

I always like to look at all the naval equipment that was used in WWII and leading up to it…like this Italian Torpedo Boat:
