Fortress Europa - Part Three

October and November have been a bit of a roller coaster as will be seen.

 October and the Axis launch another counterattack.

 Still October and still they are attacking.
Although note breakout to the west.

 However come November and things have changed dramatically!

The allies have linked up north and south, cleared the area to the Italian border and invested all the Atlantic ports.  The Axis have pulled back behind the Seine and are now retreating further.

In part the Axis collapse was due to the withdrawal of eight panzer divisions.
But even before this the Allied southern front had expanded 
and was putting a lot of pressure on the enemy's ability to hold France.
