Overview:
After the fall of Paris and Lyon, Italian leader Benito Mussolini worried that France might collapse at any moment, yet his army had not struck a single blow. He told his son-in-law, foreign minister Count Ciano that he needed 1,000 dead in order to sit at the peace table with France. Consequently, he pressed Marshal Badoglio to begin a ground offensive against France as soon as possible.Attacker: Italian (Elements of 12th Pioneer Company, 5th "Cosseria" Infantry Division)
