The Dodecanese campaign of World War II was an attempt by Allied forces to capture the Italian-held Dodecanese islands in the Aegean Sea following the surrender of Italy in September 1943, and use them as bases against the German-controlled Balkans.
However, the whole of the Dodecanese would fall to the Germans within two months, with the Allies suffering heavy losses in men and ships.

RAF Officers and Italian Troops Unite on the Island of Kos, Greece during World War II
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a remarkable moment in history as RAF officers stand alongside Italian troops on the island of Kos, Greece. Taken after the successful occupation of the islands by Allied Army and Air Force units, this image captures a sense of unity amidst the chaos of war. The Dodecanese campaign was an ambitious endeavor by Allied forces to seize control of these strategically important Aegean Sea islands following Italy's surrender in September 1943. The plan aimed to establish bases against German-controlled Balkans. However, despite their valiant efforts, within just two months, the Germans would reclaim complete dominance over the entire Dodecanese region. This photograph serves as a testament to both triumph and tragedy. It symbolizes fleeting moments of camaraderie between former adversaries turned allies who fought side by side for a common cause. Yet it also reminds us of the heavy toll paid by those involved in this campaign – men lost their lives and ships were destroyed. As we delve into this snapshot from history, let us remember not only its significance but also pay homage to all those who bravely served during World War II. Their sacrifices should never be forgotten as they fought tirelessly for freedom and peace amidst turbulent times.
