QUADRANT Conference. By now the Italian Government was ready to quit. Marshal Badoglio had estab- lished contact with General Eisen- mower in an effort to negotiate a surrender without the Knowledge of the Germans. General Eisenhower was instructed to accept the uncon- ditional surrender of Italy and to obtain the greatest military advan- tage from this development. He was to seize Sardinia and Corsica and attempt the establishment of air bases in the Rome area and northward, if feasible, maintaining unrelenting pressure on German forces in Northern Italy. At the same time, he was directed to CO., ordinate his plans with the re- quirements of operation OVER LORD.
 The Combined Chiefs of Staff at the QUADRANT Conference also conceived the operation against Southern France designated oper- ation ANVIL and arrived at these conclusions:
 Offensive operations against Southern France (to include the use of trained and equipped French forcesl should be undertaken to establish a lodgment in the Toulon- Marseille area and to exploit north ward in order to create a diversion in connection with OVERLORD. Air nourished operations in the south- ern Alps will, if possible, be ini- tiated
 On September, the day before American troops landed on the Italian mainland, the unconditional surrender of Italy was announced. On 9 September and the succeed ing days the principal elements Of the Italian fleet surrendered.
 Invasion of Mainland
 Compelling reasons had devel- oped for the invasion of the Italian mainland. The operation (AVA- LANCHE) would enable us to capi- talize on the collapse of Italian resistance; it offered field for en- gazing German divisions which otherwise might operate against the Red Army and later against the forces in France; it would pro- vide airfields from which the Ger man, homeland and the Balkans could be bombed from substantial shorter range; 1t would complete Allied control of the Mediterranean.
 Canadian and British divisions of General Montgomery's Eighth Army crossed the Strait of Mes -sina under cover of heavy of heavy artillery and air bombardment and landed on beaches near Reggie Calabria and Villa San Giocanni on 3 September. The beachheads were quickly secured, and the Eighth Army advanced northward through Calabria.
 Six days later the U. S. Fifth Army under command of It. Gen. Mark w. Clark, disembarked on beaches along the Gulf of Salerno' it landed with the VI Corps com manded by Maj. Gen. E. J. Dawley on the right and the British X Corps on the left. The VT Corps was composed principally of the 36th and 45th Divisions. American Rangers and British Commando units landed on the Corrento Pen 1 insula, north of the port of Salerno
