Badoglio sent envoys to try for soft peace; but Eisenhower firmly repeated the Big Twos words of Casabianca- It would be unconditional surrender or nothing.
 Badogho capltuIated September 3. British troops began stepping the MeSsIna Strait to Italy,s The surrender however. was kept secret for Eisenhower wished to spring it in his own good time Badoglio was to continue token resistance ana hold the airfelds near Rome. Allied paratroops would drop m and take the fields and the Nazi force in Italy would be cut neatly in two
 Meanwhile the British under Montgomery swarmed up the toe and made second landing to capture the naval base at Taranto
 The Nazis by this tune were acutely susplclous Achievements by the thousands shot through the Alpine passes to strengthen AXIS gafrlsons ana seize control of the airfeds around Rome Badogho messaeed Eisenhower he unable to fulfill his bargain and the paratrooping expedition was hast- fly called off.
 The surrender was announced September s. just as units of General Mark Clark's U- S.

 The Americans completely occupied Guadalcanal on February g. and in New Guinea MacArthu moved up to defeat the Japanese near Wau, 3S miles from Saamaua.
 The main spotlight focused on the battle for Tunisia like" Eisenhower held his troops in the west while Monty chased the Desert Fox up the Libyan coast.
 The Nazis had two main ground forces-Rom- mels Afrika Korps and the German-ltallan rein Agreements under General Jurgen von Arnim The Allies had Montgomery's "desert rats the. British 1st Army under General K A. N Anderson, the U. S. End American Corps under General Lloyd Fredendall and Fighting French forces which nad come up from Lake Chad
 By midi February Romrnel had retired to the Mareth Line, strongly fortified position near the southeastern Tunisian border
 But the NaZiS still had plenty of sung. PdnzefS crashed through Faid Pass to surprise an American tank battalion and sent the raw Tanks racing lnto the Kasserine Pass, leading to the Algerian border The panzers might have smashed the Amerlcans. Instead they brashly turned to move against Thala on the north.

 Into the campaign went Americas blood and guts, hell and thunder tank ace, Genefal George S. Patton Jr-. to replace Fredendall Patton had often expressed desire to meet Rommel Tn a private tank duel The chance never came- In March the svery iIF Nazi general was recalled to Berlin
