Sicily

The US 7th Army of 66,000 men under General Patton and the 8th Army of 115,000 British and Canadian forces under General Montgomery along with over 2500 Allied warships were cleared to launch Operation Husky by reluctant agreements made at the Casablana Conference. The ultimate goal of a cross channel landing was not an eminent operation and the benefits of a Sicily under allied control could not be denied. Final plans were laid in May and troop convoys were on the way. Near a quarter million men under Allied flags invaded Sicily with strong naval and air support. The defenders fought a delaying retreat and fell back to the more easily defended Italian penninsula. In the end, the Sicily campaign came down to a race for Messina with Italy dropping from the war and Germany falling back or losing large numbers of men to capture in the west of the island.
