In this campaign, which was fought in Sicily from July 10 to August 6, 1943 and in mainland Italy from September 3, 1943 to February 25, 1945, the fighting was particularly bitter. The Germans, taking full advantage of mountain peaks and swiftly running rivers, made very Allied advance difficult and costly. There were 25,264 Canadian casualties in the fighting, including more than 5,900 who were killed.
