Best Answer

Naples, Italy, in September, 1943. But when speaking of WWII many people refer to the "European mainland" af is Italy were not a part of it, and as though the D-Day landings of June 6, 1944 marked the appearance of Allied and American forces in "mainland Europe". Paris was captured around August 25, 1944. Before Paris a number of smaller French cities were liberated, and a great many towns, and hundreds of villages. Rome had been captured on June 4, 1944, but that tremendous news, of the first of the Axis capitals to fall, was the top headline for exactly one day, and was then overshadowed by the landings in Normandy June 6.

What was the first capital city on the European mainland to be freed from Axis control?

Rome, Italy was the first capital city liberated by the Allies in World War II. Italy was originally on the Nazi side, but they surrendered on 8 Sept 1943 and the Germans took over control of Italy. Rome was liberated by the Allies on 4 June 1944. So Rome was technically the last capital to become occupied, and the first to be freed. It would have been the first Axis capital to fall to the Allies, except that the majority of Italian forces had by then changed allegiances and were fighting for the Allies.
