Was the invasion of Italy an anglo american buffer against the soviet land grab.


Hello i am currently researching the topic on the invasion of italy, the topic itself is based on the idea that the americans and the british both saw that a communist takeover of europe could become possible. so they decided to open a second front in europe to satisfy stalin, but also to put a limit on the conquerable nations in europe, this tactic i believe protectected nations like austria and maybe even italy, now in support of this topic, i have found out both general montgomery and patton, both men distrusted communism, they were also the lead commanders of the invasion. well id like your opinion on the topic and maybe some useful sources i could use thank you.
