After Mussolini's expulsion and Italy's surrender, Rome was declared a Free City for fear of destruction. The fact that this status largely protected the city itself from war damage, but that Rome was otherwise anything but outside the war effort, will be clearly shown. The conflicting interests of the Germans, who installed a brutal occupation regime in the city, the Allies, who saw the capture of Rome as a great symbolic step on the road to victory, the partisans, who wanted to make Rome untenable for the Germans, and the Pope, who wanted to win the Allies over to the fight against the Communists, are described.
