Great battles - Indian army in world war II Italian Campaign documentary Part 1 of 3

would you believe any one who says that Indian armed forces has been a part of a huge force that had liberated Italy in world war 2? 1000's of indian life has been laid down in Europe to demolish fascism and win greatest and bloodiest war in history.

- It's true and it happened around 60 years ago.

The Italian Campaign of World War II was the name of Allied operations in and around Italy, from 1943 to the end of the war in Europe. Joint Allied Forces Headquarters AFHQ was operationally responsible for all Allied land forces in the Mediterranean theatre, and it planned and commanded the invasion of Sicily and the campaign on the Italian mainland until the surrender of German forces in Italy in May 1945.

It is estimated that between September 1943 and April 1945 some 60,000 Allied and 50,000 German soldiers died in Italy. Total Allied casualties during the campaign totalled about 320,000 and the corresponding Axis figure (excluding those involved in the final surrender) was over 658,000. No campaign in Western Europe cost more than Italy the Campaign in terms of lives lost and wounds suffered by infantry forces.

@possumverde

Germans has the largest uranium mine in the world, which was in Czechoslovakia.

@YUSKHAN The "reactor" you're talking about wasn't functional and even it's designers had given up on it (and it was found by American and British special forces not the Russians who got a lot of their tech through their spy network). The German design required almost more uranium than existed at the time, had little chance of producing a chain reaction, and almost no chance of controlling one if it did. It's only real function was to show other physicists how not to build a reactor.

oh and so far as your theory on how the allies stole tech` from the germans goes,it was Sir Frank Whittle who invented the jet engine. The idea was patented in 1930 but besause of apathy or disinterest in the air ministry, the idea was dropped and the need for secrecy was lifted, and the invention put in the public domain in 1932 (the patent had lapsed and Whittle could not afford the £5 fee to renew it). Dr Hans von Ohain working independantly on a similar design was given the british design!!

@YUSKHAN the Oranienburg plant was involved in the production of uranium and thorium metals. Since the plant was to be in the future Soviet zone of occupation and the Russian troops would get there before the Allies.The allies destroyed the plant by aerial bombardment, in order to deny its uranium production equipment to the Russians. On 15 March 1945, 612 B-17 Flying Fortress` dropped high-explosives and incendiary bombs on the plant.Learn the facts before u spout shit,instead of making shit up

@YUSKHAN r u a professional retard or is it just a hobby?Chicago Pile-1 was the world's first nuclear reactor,The first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was initiated in CP-1 on Dec 2`42.Calder Hall was the world's first nuclear power station,later known as sellafield,England.the WWII German nuclear physics program was never able to produce a critical nuclear reactor.Otto Hahn received the Nobel Prize for the discovery of nuclear fission in `44 after he and Lise Meitner sussed it in `38.

first nuclear reactor was built in Germany by the Nazis, and was captured by the Soviets before the Americans could
