Marshal Badoglio, a First World War hero becomes Prime Minister, introduces martial law and incorporates the Fascist militia into the ordinary armed forces, thus ending the Fascist regime in Italy.

The truth is that Badoglio is already negotiating an armistice with the allies, but for now germans and italians are still fightin together against the allies.
Saturday 14th August 1943 : Italy declares Rome to be an open city by Italians.
Tuesday 17th August 1943 : German and Italian forces successfully evacuate Sicily across the Strait of Messina, with little interference by the Allies. This allows Montgomery and Patton enter Messina. The whole of Sicily is now in allied hands. The shelling of the Italian mainland from Messina begins.
Thursday 27 August 1942 : Rome was declared an open city, wich means that no carpet bombin should be done on this city, but on that morning italian spotters singnaled a large enemy force inbound, pointing exactly on Rome.
