Battle of Anzio
Even before D-Day, the Allies had already performed successful landing operations. One of those was a joint US and British troop landing on the coast of Italy. This operation was a huge surprise for the German command, and even a counter offensive could not stop the Allies from liberating Rome and advancing deep into Italy.
