WW2 is often simplified to the point of loosing all meaning many focusing on Europe only. many of those who go beyond Europe stop at the pacific forgetting many fronts. We have Africa, Northern Europe, Western Front, The Med, The Balcans, China, The Pacific and more. The invasion of Sicily and Italy were later overshadowed by d-day and the soviet counter attack.
