7h 56min, jun 4, 1944 y - Fall of Rome
Description:
Rome finally fell on June 4, 1944, two days before Allied forces opened up a western front in Europe by invading the beaches of France, . Unfortunately, some historians argue that the invasion of Italy postponed the opening of a western front by as much as a year, a delay which Stalin and the Soviets would bitterly remember at the peace table at the war’s end.
