The Invasion of Southern Italy
The Austrian empire invades the republic of the Sicilies

While the main army of Austria was fighting alonside the Germans in their invasion of France, a plan was made with the remaining Austrian forces to do a daring landing on Foggia to take the fight to the Sicilians.

Plans where made long before but due the importance of the invasion of France the invasion was delayed till may 1941 when it was clear that the France had no chance of holding back the steam rolling might of German-Austro forces in the North and the Carlist Spaniards who did a magnificent job of forcing France to take away divisions from the north to reinforce their armies in the Alps green light was given for the Austrian Operation ''

The first objective was to create a beachhead, the target area was Foggia since intel showed their defences there where weak to average.

After taking Foggia, the Austrian pumped in more division to secure the beachhead and to start cutting off the Sicilians that are attacking the Italians in the North.

While the Sicilian forces where stuck in the North a couple of Austrian division made a swing to the south to take Palermo

Now what once was part of the Republic of the Sicilies is now part of the Austrian Empire.
but before the Austro-German-Spanish Alliance could celebrate the victory over France and Sicily a very unfortunate event struck the German Empire, the death of a dear friend and Emperor of Germany Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert commonly known as Kaiser Wilhelm II.
