On July 25, 1943, the world was electrified by the news that Benito Mussolini had resigned as premier of Italy. Although details of the Duces downfall were meager, there was a feeling that Axis had cracked, and this was confirmed September 8 when Gen. Dwight the io Eisenhower announced Italys surrender. Thus did events shape in accordance with Prime Minister Winston Churchills calculations of Italy being the soft underbelly of Europe.

There was further development of these plans when the Allied leaders met again at Quebec, August 47. The year 1943 saw a new phase in World War II, with the Allies swinging into the offensive and the Axis resorting to rearguard action to slow the drive on their main bastions. Not only was this phase exemplified in Europe, but it also was brought to the fore in the South Pacific, where dynamic, imaginative Gen. Douglas MacArthur began the push to oust the enemy from their outposts in the Solomons and New Guinea and clear the path for the reconquest of the Philippines and the defeat of the Japs. Even as Churchill and Roosevelt conferred in Casablanca, Gen. Bernard Montgomerys British Eighth army was pursuing Nazi Marshal Erwin Rommel across the North African desert. To the west along the Tunisian border, U. S. forces were moving into position to pinch off the enemy as they fought back toward Bizerte and Tunis. On May 7, these two seaports fell, and five days later organized Axis resistance in North Africa ceased, with the Allies taking 150,000 prisoners. General Montgomery had begun his drive at El Alamein in Egypt, where Rommel, famed fox of the desert, had holed up, just 67 miles away from the great British naval base of Alexandria.- - U.
