Italy declares war on Germany
13 October 1943 · Brindisi
On 13 October 1943 the Badoglio government, seated at Brindisi under Allied protection, declared war on Germany and was recognised by the Allies as a co-belligerent. Italy was thus split between the Kingdom in the south, fighting alongside the Allies, and Mussolini's German-backed Italian Social Republic in the north.
