Episode description as stored
In the summer of 1943, after a successful campaign in North Africa, Churchill convinces
Roosevelt that the best way forward is an invasion of the island of Sicily. But what is thought to be a quick and decisive attack instead becomes a months-long slog up the Italian peninsula, as Hitler has no intention of giving up this key part of his empire without a fight.
