The plan was to conquer Italy. They advanced through southern Italy and toward Nazi Germany. They launched a series of beach and land attacks for almost 2 years. The main battles were the invasion of Sicily and continental Italy. The allies threatened the southern part of Germany. It was a very costly process.
