Germany responded to Italy's surrender to the Allies in September 1943 by quickly occupying northern and central Italy. They dismantled the Italian military and established a puppet regime under Mussolini, who was rescued and installed as the head of a new Fascist government in Northern Italy. This move allowed Germany to strengthen its defensive positions in the region and continue fighting against the Allies on the Italian front. The occupation led to brutal reprisals against Italian partisans and civilians suspected of supporting the Allies.
