- Operation Husky - the Invasion of Sicily was the start of the Allied assault on German occupied Europe. After defeating the Axis forces in the Tunisian Campaign, the United States and Great Britain planned the invasion of occupied Europe and the final defeat of Nazi Germany. The Allies decided to attack Italy, hoping an Allied invasion would remove Benito Mussolini from power, secure the Mediterranean and divert German divisions from France and Russia. The main Allied forces for the invasion were the US 7th Army under Lieutenant-General George S. Patton and the British 8th Army under General Sir Bernard Montgomery. The Axis commander, General Alfredo Guzzoni, had 12 divisions - two German and 10 Italian to defend the island; five of the latter were infantry and five coastal defence divisions. The garrison was 250,000-400,000-strong (depending on the source) , but included only about 60,000 Germans and even they were not fully mechanized. Beach defences, including middle-aged reservists from the coastal divisions and blackshirts, had been heavily bombed, and the Italian High Command was forced to use commandeered French Army light tanks against the initial Allied landings. However, the rugged high ground favoured the Italian defenders. After 38 days of hard fighting, the U.S. and Britain Commonwealth forces successfully drove the remaining German and Italian units from Sicily and prepared to assault the Italian mainland.
