In September 1943,
the German army marched into Rome, beginning an occupation that would
last nine months until Allied forces liberated the ancient city.

During those 270 days, clashing factions -- the occupying Germans, the
Allies, the growing resistance movement, and the Pope -- contended for
control over the destiny of the Eternal City. In The Battle for Rome,
Robert Katz vividly recreates the drama of the occupation and offers
new information from recently declassified documents to explain the
intentions of the rival forces.
One of the enduring myths of World
War II is the legend that Rome was an "open city," free from military
activity. In fact the German occupation was brutal, beginning almost
immediately with the first roundup of Jews in Italy. Rome was a
strategic prize that the Germans and the Allies fought bitterly to win.
The Allied advance up the Italian peninsula from Salerno and Anzio in
some of the bloodiest fighting of the war was designed to capture the
Italian capital.
Dominating the city in his own way was Pope Pius
XII, who used his authority in a ceaseless effort to spare Rome,
especially the Vatican and the papal properties, from destruction. But
historical documents demonstrate that the Pope was as concerned about
the Partisans as he was about the Nazis, regarding the Partisans as
harbingers of Communism in the Eternal City.
