How the Allies Got to Italy and the Beginning of the Italian Campaign

Joining me in this episode is Frank de Planta, a British Army veteran (retired Lt. Col.) and an Italian battlefield tour narrator. Frank talks about how the Allies got to Italy from North Africa, some of the egos and reputations that get bruised or inflated along the way, and the continued learning that the Allies are experiencing even after 10 months of fighting alongside each other. As a battlefields tour narrator, Frank is an excellent storyteller and I know many people will enjoy his style here.
