After the victory of Operation Torch, Winston Churchill said that "the soft underbelly of Europe" lay open to Allied attack. What did he mean by that, and what did the Allies do next to back up the claim?

Explanation:

Prime Minister Winston Churchill liked referring to Italy as ''the soft underbelly of Europe'' due to their apparent weakness in battle.
