Overview:
Benito Mussolini had declared war on 10 June, but his generals dithered, and no attack had been launched. The French were already beaten, and Paris had been taken a week earlier. Mussolini needed a trophy to boost Italian morale. That trophy was going to be Nice. On 20 June at midday, Mussolini's troops were finally ready, and his best divisions led an attack supported by what little armor he had. French troops knew their country was on the point of collapse but were not prepared to give an inch of ground to the Italians. As the enemy came towards them, they spat on the ground, primed their weapons, and prepared to show that they were not beaten yet.Attacker: Italian (Alpine Army Corps)
Defender: French (French Border Force)
