Overview:
Much to the dismay of the Italians, on the afternoon of September 8, 1943, General Eisenhower made public the armistice between the Allies and the Italian government. The Italians had been playing a dangerous balancing act between the Germans and Allies, trying to get out of the war without negative consequences. That evening, the Germans put into play “Operation Flohzirkus (Flea Circus),” sending the 2nd Fallschirmjäger Division north from its base towards Rome. The Axis was broken forever when the Germans met the first Italian outposts at the town of Mezzocamino, southwest of Rome.Attacker: German (6th Regiment, 2nd Fallschirmjäger Division)
Defender: Italian (Chemical Mortar Battalion, Granatieri di Sardegna Division/III Battalion, 1st Regiment, Granatieri di Sardegna Division and police cadets, Polizia dell' Africa Italiana)
