ITALY : EIGHTH ARMYDESOLATION IN VILLA GRANDE - This may have happened to all the towns in Italy had she not capitulated. On first entering the town of Villa Grande, it is impossible to find the name of the town, as all signposts have been destroyed in the fighting.

There are a few dead animals, which increase the air of death and desolation. T
