America prepares to hit the Third Reich from the Italy (CYOAH)

Previous: Assassination blamed on Axis member (CYOAH)

The Americans decide that this will only be the first nation to fall. They begin building up forces in the nwly established Italian Republic, and update their operational plans to compensate for this starting point in Italy.

They strike quickly, but the buildup was noticable, and the Reich forces had time to prepare for the coming assault. The mountains of northern Italy manage to contain the American advance for a time, but the large weight of American armor and airplanes gains the Americans acess through the German first defensive lines. Of course, the U.S. wasn't betting everything on this strike. The forces they had remaining were gathered for a second offensive, one that would catch the Nazi's off guard. An American Naval armada forces the straits of Gibraltar, and begins naval landings on the Mediterranean coast of France. This was unexpected, and the nazi's have to start shifting forces there before the Americans can hit the Nazi lines in Italy from the back.

The Nazi's are stretched for forces, but they are not yet defeated. Missiles have been launched from Europe to America, hitting major cities. Luckily, they were only loaded with explosive warheads, so chemcial and nuclear weapons have not yet come into play. The Air war rages over the European airspace, and american ground forces advance against increasing Nazi resistance. The Italian front is a bloodbath for both sides, and the French front, while more fluid, is still tough going as each side suffers from lack of reserves. French citizens are conscripted into the German Werhmatch, while French citizens in U.S. controlled territory voluntarily join in order to drive the Nazi's out of France for good. The war could change at any moment however. what happens next?
