G. Tingey said...The Austrians asked for an Armistice on November 2nd (Saturday), it was signed on the 3rd (Sunday) and became effective on Monday 4th.
Of course, there is still fighting going on in Belgium, but the Germans start asking for an armistice on the 4th, and the Allied troops on the Italian front will be needed for post-Armistice occupation of all of SW Austria. So they will be busy, but NOT FIGHTING.
Historical note: The whole of Süd-Tirol was occupied and is still part of Italy today, though the spoken language there is German. Also the Western part of modern Austria proper, as far up as Innsbruck.
Plenty to do, before Harry and the lads can come home ....
