On September 8, 1943, the Armistice between Italy and the Allied Forces, signed on September 3, was publicly declared. The majority of the Italian Army had not been informed about the Armistice, and a message from Marshal Pietro Badoglio, head of the Italian Government, was ambiguous on the question of the role of the Italian army with respect to the German armed forces. Without instructions, the Italian armed forces collapsed. The Wehrmacht immediately occupied the territory that was not under Allied control.
