Abstract

The article explores the historical significance of Operation Anvil, the Allied invasion of southern France during the summer of 1944. According to the author, the invasion may have been the most underrated amphibious campaign of World War II. He asserts that the campaign underscored the transition of the Mediterranean Theater of Operations to a secondary war effort and that it confirmed the success of the Normandy lodgment in northern France.
