built 271 days ago
The ten-volume set V for Victory chronicles the significant events and leading personalities of World War II. Using original newsreel stories, the program V for Victory: Anzio and the Italian Campaign examines the difficult American drive in Italy. In July of 1943, discontent among Italians led to the rebellion of the Fascist grand council against Mussolini and the subsequent dissolution of the Fascist party. In September of 1943, Italy surrendered to the Allies while the German forces occupied North and Central Italy. Mussolini escaped from prison and with the help of the Germans established a republic in north Italy. In January of 1944, allied troops landed at Anzio and nearby Nettuno to draw the German camp from Cassino.

In 1945 World War II came to an end, leaving a clear victory for the Allied forces. It is important to remember that because this conflict occurred on a global scale, the victors would effectively become the dominant forces throughout the world. From the ashes of the War rose the 'Big Three' - Britain, USA and Russia, led by Churchill, Roosevelt & Stalin respectively - each determined to inflict total defeat on their enemies, at any cost. This set the template for the movers and shakers in world affairs throughout the rest of the 20th Century and beyond.

Winston Churchill used a V sign in both versions to symbolize "V for Victory" during World War II. Early on in the war he used palm in (sometimes with a cigar between the fingers).[6] Later in the war he used palm out.[7] It is thought that the aristocratic Churchill made the change after it was explained to him what it signified to the other classes in Britain.
