By the time the Allies manage to reach Naples, this city they've bombed for the last three years.
podcast-host
The Germans have completely withdrawn.
podcast-host
the Neapolitans have liberated themselves from their nation's former ally.

podcast-host
But again, that's the ground.
podcast-host
The air is a different story.
podcast-host

podcast-host
