Summary
After D-Day, the spotlight on the allied fighting was focused on North West Europe, yet the fighting in Italy carried on often overlooked. In this episode we're going to be looking at the Canadians battling across what should have been good tank country at the end of 1944.
I'm joined by Canadian military historian Mark Zuehlke, author of 'The River Battles: Canada's Final Campaign in World War II Italy'.
If you want more of Mark and I chatting we discussed the Dieppe Raid, way back in episode 5!
