The <entity_1> took place between Italian and German forces for the control of the <entity_0>, in the then Italian-held Dodecanese islands in the <entity_6>. When the Armistice of Cassibile was announced, on 8 <entity_4>, Admiral <entity_3> was the governor of the Italian Dodecanese, the Cyclades and the Northern Sporades; his seat was in <entity_0>. On 1° <entity_4>, Lieutenant General Arnaldo Foriero had been sent to <entity_0> to assume command of the Royal Italian Army forces stationed there and to create the <entity_0> Military Command, but at the time of the German invasion many of the internal fortifications scheduled to be built on the island had not been completed, due to lack of resources. At the end of June 1943, the German general <entity_2> was sent to <entity_0>, where he formed the Sturm-Division Rhodos, which began military exercise near the Italian defenses about 11 km from the city of <entity_0>. The announcement of the armistice took the Italian leadership and soldiers in <entity_0> completely by surprise; the memorandum with the instructions from the Italian Supreme Command to Egeomil was to be sent by air, but bad weather had prevented this, and the messenger was still in Pescara on <entity_5>.
