Waxad ku qortaa sii wadida faqradan - Churchill wuxuu aad u xiiseyn jiray Balkans, oo uu u arkay mid ka mid ah meelaha ugu habboon ee howlgallada. Mawduuc soo noqnoqday oo ka mid ah "Istaraatiijiyadda Badda Dhexe" wuxuu ahaa qorshihiisa ah in Xulafada ay ka soo degaan xeebta Adriatic ee Yugoslavia oo ay ku horumariyaan Ljubljana Gap ee Alps si ay u gaaraan Austria si ay u dalbadaan sheegashada dagaalka kadib ee Bariga Yurub. Go'aanka Jarmalka ee Balkans ayaa mar kale kiciyay xiisaha Churchill ee qorshayaashiisa Ljubljana Gap, laakiin ka degitaanka Dalmatia waxay u baahan tahay qabsashada waqooyi-bari Talyaaniga marka hore. Bishii Ogosto 25, ciidankii 8aad ee Ingiriiska ayaa bilaabay Hawlgalkii Olive, weerar ka dhan ah Khadka Gothic ee waqooyiga Talyaaniga oo uu hogaaminayo Ciidanka 1aad ee Kanada oo ujeedadiisu ahayd inay qabsadaan Pesaro iyo Rimini, kuwaas oo loo adeegsan lahaa dekedo lagu taageerayo weerarkii Ingiriiska ee la qorsheeyay ee Yugoslavia. Iska caabinta adag ee Jarmalka ee Khadka Gothic, oo sida ugu wanaagsan u adeegsatay dhulkii difaaca ee dabiiciga ahaa ee waqooyi-bari Talyaaniga oo ay ka gudbeen buuro iyo 14 webi, ayaa horseeday in ciidankii 8aad uu horumariyo si ka gaabis badan wixii la rajeeyay oo uu horseeday in qorshooyinka Albaabka Ljubjana la joojiyo. Buuggiisa " Triumph and Tragedy", oo ah kii ugu dambeeyay ee " Taariikhda Dagaalkii Labaad ee Adduunka", Churchill wuxuu ku weeraray Maraykanka howlgalkii Dragoon
, duulaankii Koonfurta Faransiiska, oo uu ka soo horjeeday. Isaga oo muujinaya xanaaqiisa in Mareykanku ka soo horjeestay istiraatiijiyaddiisa Badda Dhexe, Churchill wuxuu ku andacoonayay in haddii kaliya ciidanka iyo ilaha loo qoondeeyay Howlgalka Dragoon loo diyaariyay qorshayaal lagu horumarinayo Ljubanja Gap, markaa Allies-ku waxay la wareegi lahaayeen Vienna sanadkii 1944 waxayna sidaas uga hortageen Ciidanka Cas inay qabsadaan magaaladaas 1945.
