The war started 3 years ago! It started with Pozna being bombed, shelled and conquered by the Axis forces! It came to a standstill during mid 1941 and the beginning of the end came in February 1942. It is now fully clear to all that
the Nazi and Facist forces will suffer a complete defeat. The only question is
when exactly. Unconditional surrender is our demands to the Axis, as no compromisse can be made with men that have no honour nor ethics.
For history, here are some of the high and lows of this war, that has costed us much sweat, blood and money!
1939
====
In September 1939, we were forced to declare war on the Axis due to their ever growing belligerent greed. The initial war was a terrible Blitkrieg, with the losses of Holland, Norway and France to the German troops and their dreadfull Gestapo control. In the Far East, Saigon and Bangkok have also suffered a similar fate to the uncontroled Japanese forces.
1940
====
The 1st quarter of 1940 was even worst with the genocide made by German leaders at Gibraltar and Corsica! History will remember this!
Also Greece and Malta fell under the Axis control. But, the sunny summer of 1940 (called by some the "sunny summer of freedom") brought the first good news - Yokohama, Saigon, Bangkok and Tanzania were captured by Allied forces, never to be lost again! Oslo was also freed but this was a short victory to make a stand, as the powerfull Wehrmacht was in full control of Norway.
It was also in the summer of 1940 that, once again, the Axis showed the world they could not be trusted. After a few months of an agreement of "no strategical bombing" Hitler, without any prior warning (probably annoyed by the loss of Oslo), order the bombing of London and it's surroundings, breaking the gentleman's agreement made only few months before! It was the beginning of the total war!!!
1941
====
In the beginning of 1941, Mussolini lost Somalia to the English, after his soldiers refuse to fight and fled to the desert! The war in North Africa was on a standstill with Tobruk changing hands several times. Even though the Allies were not making significant breakthroughs it was clear that the Axis would never again retake initiative after their severe losses in the battle of El Alamein.
During June, the Commonwealth was force to take control of Crete, as this island was being used to re-supply the Axis stronghold in North Africa. The Axis, in a desperate move to not lose the control of the island, launched an immediate massive airborne assault... it caught us by suprise (as we did not expect such a bad strategical decision to be made on their part) but their control of the city lasted exactly one month, as our troops regained control of the island with the support of our Navy.
It was during June 1941 that Hitler had to make a choice between advacing to the East (a project that our Intelligence has discovered to be called Operation Barbarossa) or to try to fully control European's Southwest... he choose the latter, which meant attacking the same leader he choose to support in the civil war just 4 years before!!! He declared war in July and by November Spain had capitulated and most of the Iberian Peninsula was under German control.
In September, landing in the beach of Dieppmesterdam (near Amesterdam) occured, but, alas, the effective German defenses were fast to react and our scarce forces were defeated before we could desembark reinforcements.. the city of Amesterdam was liberated but only briefly as our few and brave troops could not withstand the impact of several SS veteran Panzer Divisions despite their bravery... even though it was not a success it was the first sign of what would came in the future!
The year of 1941 ended with the first European Axis homeland loss - Sicily! The preparations for the full invasion of Italy were already made, just needed to be executed in the following year!
1942
====
The year started with the Norwegian Liberation Campaign and Oslo is taken by veteran English foot soldiers during April.
In February 1942, USA makes a suprise declaration of war on Japan and storms their islands in a very fast campaign, with the final conquer of Tokyo by June. Despite this, the Japanese Empire refuses to surrender and move their (puppet) Emperor to Seoul continuing the war.
It was also during this month that a strange event occured simultaneously in Japan and Germany - an internal "coup d'etat" occured within their Governments... despite the fact that their leaders remains the same and that their totalitarists Governments are not disclosing any information, it seems clear that the old leaders are no longer in control of their nations and that there are clear internal political fights within their Government and their Armies! These conflicts within their Armies has lead to a much lower effectiveness to wage war on their part and their forces seem to be divided as different Divisions seems to be obeying to different Leaders.
In May the war becames truly global with the USSR breaking (finally) the Nazi–Soviet Pact and attacking Germany. They also make a fast campaign in East Europe against the crumbling German Army, conquering Poland, Greece and Konisberg in only 3 months.
In June, the allied forces retake our beloved Malta, an island with now low strategical importance but with a high value in our hearts!
In August, Sardegna fell after only a brief struggle by German troops fighting under the Italian flag. But the highlight of the month was the
liberation of Rome by the Allies, which were received with joy by the population.
Il Duce tried to hide but it was captured by the population and killed in the streets.
