227 - Canadians Take Little Stalingrad - WW2 - December 31, 1943

1943 reaches its end with no end in sight for the war. In Italy, the Canadians take Ortona after bloody close fighting, the US Marines advance on New Britain, and a new Soviet offensive makes huge gains in the USSR. This isnt enough for the Allies, though, who have a big shake up in their European Command to help prepare for future attacks.
