Once again, Italy was back to its normal state, without all the German influence, although it did take Italy a lot of time to repair all the cities and other things that had been destroyed by careless fighting. They had to deal with rain, snow, disease, famine, and among all things, death. They also flamethrowers equipped tanks. The Germans and the Allies fought for nine days in this battle. On September 9th, 1943, the Allies attacked Italy's mainland, as a way to try to confuse the Germans. People would starve and die of malnourishment.
