"Patton 360" is great. It includes little soldiers running around too!😃👍
I know this post will sound pedantic, but I disagree... Italy definetly connects 2 continents... 3 is definetly a stretch - you'd be hard pressed to argue Italy connects not onlt Europe to Africa, but to Asia as well. Turkey, or even Egypt, fits that description better.
Italy being in the center of the Mediterranean did make it a strategic location during WW2. Italy is an excellent base for launching operations into North Africa and the Near East. (And Europe obviously) There is a reason why the British empire spent considerable resources in the Mediterranean, the most important by far keeping the Suez canal in Allied hands.
Regardless, the capture of the city was celebrated universally and didnt have geopolitical ramifications, unlike the Race to Berlin. Ultimately, the "glory" of taking Rome was shared amongst all Allies IMO.
