History of the Naples-Foggia Campaign
The Naples-Foggia Campaign (1943-1944) was a critical Allied operation in Italy during World War II. Beginning with the landings at Salerno in September 1943 and culminating in the liberation of Naples, the campaign pushed German forces northward and secured key airfields in Foggia. These airfields were vital for launching bombing raids deeper into Nazi-occupied Europe.
The operation was marked by fierce resistance, treacherous terrain, and the Allies' remarkable ability to adapt to challenging circumstances. The campaign's success laid the groundwork for subsequent advances into Rome and beyond, significantly contributing to the ultimate defeat of Axis forces in Europe.
