Zusammenfassung: | By the spring of 1944 the British and their allies could believe that the war in Europe had turned in their favour. The Italian Fascist government had collapsed in July 1943, and about the same time the Soviet army took the initiative against the Germans on the eastern front.

By June 1944 the Germans were routed from Rome and Allied forces landed at Normandy to begin the reconquest of France.
