... We Shall Never Surrender 

The European theatre of World War II was a brutal and protracted conflict that raged across the continent from 1939 to 1945.

One of the most significant campaigns was the Italian Campaign, which began in 1943 with the Allied invasion of Sicily.

The Battle of Monte Cassino, a series of fierce battles fought in central Italy, was a particularly costly affair for both sides. The Allies eventually succeeded in capturing the monastery at Monte Cassino, opening the way for their advance northward.

In 1944, the Allies launched Operation Overlord, the largest amphibious invasion in history, landing on the beaches of Normandy, France. This invasion marked a turning point in the war, as the Allies gained a foothold in Western Europe and began their push towards Germany.
