Cool Answer When the Allies landed on Italy they saw the futility of their position.
Answer
In WW2, the Italian government did NOT switch sides. Some of the leaders and businessmen of Italy and the citizens wanted to switch sides. But Churchill and England did not want the Allies to allow the Italians to join their alliance. Instead they demanded that the Italians surrender. This is why there was a long delay between the time Benito Mussolini step down in August 1943 and the announcement of their surrender on 8 September 1943, the day before the landings at Salerno.
The Italian government surrendered and their soldiers were disarmed. Of course, the German army occupied much of Italy and disarmed the Italians so they would not fight them. Italian civilians and ex-soldiers were allowed to be employed as interpreters, guides and carry supplies. It wasn't until a year later before some Italians were armed and trained so they could fight with the Allies. But this was only 5 combat groups (or battalion size).

Do Italians like British girls?
Yes, they do. On the whole, Italian men like American women. The Italians are very romantic and an American woman would get a lot of attention in Italy. However, it is advisable to stay in Italy for at least six or twelve months in order to get acquainted with the culture and the people. When in Rome, do as the Romans do! Indeed, you will be more likely to find an Italian boyfriend if you adopt the customs and the behavior of the Italians around you. If you fall in love with an Italian man, he will probably prefer to stay in Italy (fascinating history, great food, beautiful landscapes, haute couture etc.). It is also possible to find a man who is willing to relocate to the US, but be careful: other American women could snap him up!

Moreover, a significant number (over 70,000) of the descendants of German Jews who were deprived of citizenship by the Nazis have applied for reinstatement as German citizens.
