    The Netflix series “WWII In Color: Road To Victory” fifth episode “The Invasion of Italy” goes into a lot of detail about that now overlooked part of WWII. It even questions why America & the British Commonwealth bled so many resources fighting to take Italy. Rome fell the day before D-Day in June 1944 but German efforts to hold central & northern Italy for months afterwards turned the European theatre into a three front war for Germany that became nearly impossible to win.

    His sentence was commuted to life in prison without parole on account of both his service to France during WW1 and his age.
    He was stripped of all his military honors other than his title as Marshal Of France.

    EDIT:
    Quick fact about the civial war in Spain: Hitler, intervened in the Spanish Civil War after Franco seeked for his help. Establishing fashism in Spain would serve his interests in expanding in Europe. Besides, as he was developing new weapons and war tactics, he saw the Spanish civil war as a great opportunity to test these "live".
    The civil war had one of its bloodiest battles in Guernica. Picasso drew a huge painting called "the battle of Guernica".

      Franco, leading the Nationalists, sent a plea for help to Hitler, who, seeing the opportunity to gain an ally or at least a friendly government in Spain, of course agreed. The goal here was to make sure that there is no French-/ Sovietfriendly government ruling Spain and also to secure access to Spanish resources.
      Same goes for the USSR who simply tried to gain a socialist/ communist ally or subject in the Republicans.

I saw that the complex World War II can be presented in a simple, coherent and detailed manner through the Geo History channel. Not only that, the use of a world map as a process of describing the events of World War II actually makes it easier for viewers to understand, from the beginning of the causes of World War II to the consequences of this war.

    The English historian John Keegan once said the following phrase: "Brazil the forgotten ally". This map reproduces exactly what he said. Brazil declared war on Germany on August 22, 1942 and participated with the Americans with its navy and bases in the South Atlantic campaign in July 1944. a fighter squadron, the first fighter group joined to the American 350 squadron. In combat on the Gothic line in northern Italy between 1944 and 1945, it then dominated all of northwestern Italy capturing Turin at the end of the war and advanced to Susa on the French border.
    After the war Brazil was one of the founders of the UN and until today opens all the speeches being Brazil responsible for creating the state of Israel in 1947.

      Kinda forget the Frissi people who are now the Dutch have existed and were their own tribe since before even the Romans arrived. So he thought the Netherlands and England (both descendants of the Frissi people of which many are still alive) would happily join the union. Just liek Austria used to be part of Germany aswell.
      Netherlands, Belgium and England: Heavy resistance it is
      Austria: I will remain independant whether you want it or not.
      I mean even Belgium and the Netherlands, and the Netherlands and England (remember shared heritage, English people are the closest people DNA wise to the Dutch) couldn't stand each other enough to be one nation. How did he think all Germanic people (this includes Northern Europe) would live happily together under German rule? There were tons of war that germanic and Nordic eventually all just got their own nations. Like be happy over 50% of these two groups live in Germany alone. Leave us other Germanic and Nordic nations alone. Nope was the answer apparently, we were lucky England was founded on an island so they could hold out and we all had a plce to flee towards and regroup at.
