On July 10, 1943, two great Allied armadas of over 2,000 ships readied to invade Sicily. This was Operation Husky, the first step toward winning a toehold in fascist-occupied Europe. Among the invaders were 20,000 Canadian troops serving in the First Canadian Infantry Division and First Canadian Tank Brigade — in their first combat experience. Over the next 28 days, the Allied troops carved a path through the rugged land, despite fierce German opposition. Drawing on firsthand accounts of veterans and official military records, Operation Husky offers a gripping, meticulous account of this seminal operation and the young men who fought, died, and survived it.

The Allied invasion of Sicily was the largest amphibious operation conducted in World War II with over seven assault divisions landing across Italian beaches. The planning and conduct of HUSKY was fraught with indecision, fragmented planning, poor coordination, and a lack of unity of effort. Husky proves to be an interesting case study of the operational level of war and provides several relevant lessons for today’s commanders and joint staff officers. This paper analyzes the Allied planning effort from the operational level of war only. Specifically, this paper analyzes the planning and conduct of HUSKY in regard to following seven operational functions: operational intelligence, operational command and control, operational movement and maneuver, operational command and control warfare, operational fires, operational protection, and operational logistics. The Allied invasion of Sicily was the largest amphibious operation conducted in World War II, with over seven assault divisions landing across Italian beaches. From 10 July to 17 Aug. 1943, Allied forces fought a determined opponent that effectively traded space for time and successfully evacuated a large force to the mainland of Italy. Operation HUSKY culminated in an Allied victory and proved to be the catalyst for the decision to invade the Italian mainland...HUSKY proves to be an interesting case study of the operational level of war and provides several relevant lessons for today’s commanders and joint staff officers.

Il 10 luglio 1943 le truppe inglesi e americane sbarcano in Sicilia, tra Licata e Siracusa. La spettacolare operazione aeronavale – nome in codice «Husky» – è una svolta decisiva nella storia del secondo conflitto mondiale e segna l’inizio della fine per il regime fascista. Di lì a poco, il Gran Consiglio voterà la sfiducia a Mussolini e il re ne ordinerà l’arresto. La campagna militare alleata andrà avanti per altri due anni, trasformando l’Italia in un campo di battaglia tra gli eserciti di mezzo mondo, fino alla Liberazione. Un periodo tra i più drammatici nella storia italiana del Novecento. I documenti di questo volume, in gran parte inediti, affrontano un tema finora poco noto: la guerra psicologica, la propaganda e le operazioni di intelligence messe in campo da Londra e da Washington per gettare nel caos il Paese in camicia nera, tra il 1940 e il 1943. Giuseppe Casarrubea e Mario José Cereghino li hanno selezionati in dieci anni di ricerche negli archivi di College Park (Usa) e di Kew Gardens (Gran Bretagna), assieme a migliaia di altre carte. I rapporti «secret» e «top secret» raccontano nei dettagli le strategie americane e inglesi per infierire su una popolazione stremata dalla fame e dai bombardamenti. Vengono rivelati i piani dei servizi segreti alleati – a cominciare dall’Oss e dal Soe – che mirano a creare uno stay-behind e, al contempo, un’alternativa di facciata al regime mussoliniano; i contatti con i leader antifascisti socialisti, liberali e monarchici, in patria e all’estero; la diplomazia segreta per provocare il distacco dall’Asse dell’Italia fascista e arrivare a un armistizio con gli anglo-americani; gli accordi sottobanco con le mafie; il razzismo culturale anglosassone verso un popolo considerato più arabo che europeo. Emerge così un quadro geopolitico che anticipa le tensioni della Guerra Fredda nel Mediterraneo e che produrrà effetti devastanti sull’Italia dei decenni successivi. Fino ai giorni nostri.

With victory in North Africa complete, the Allies had a choice. The Americans wanted an early cross channel attack from Britain on North West Europe. Churchill favored invading the soft underbelly of Italy to weaken the Axis forces and gain Italian surrender. With Eisenhowers army and battle-hardened Eighth Army in North Africa, Churchill prevailed.The ambitious Operation HUSKY required meticulous planning. Montgomery's Eighth Army and Patton's Seventh landed successfully although the air landing proved costly. While the outcome was not in doubt the mountainous terrain acted in the defenders favor. The German presence was higher than expected and the vast bulk of the enemy were Italian. In little over a month, the first Americans reached Messina.The strategic plan was successful: the Italian capitulated, Hitler had to reinforce his Southern flank relieving pressure on the Soviets and valuable lessons were learned by Allied for D-Day.

A detailed examination of Operation Husky, the US and British invasion and conquest of the Italian island of Sicily. Not only did the Sicily operation represent a watershed in tactical development of combined arms tactics, it was also an important test for future Allied joint operations. Senior British commanders left the North African theater with a jaundiced and dismissive view of the combat capabilities of the inexperienced US Army after the debacle at Kasserine Pass in Tunisia in February 1943. Sicily was a demonstration that the US Army had rapidly learned its lessons and was now capable of fighting as a co-equal of the British Army. The Sicily campaign contained a measure of high drama as Patton took the reins of the Seventh US Army and bent the rules of the theater commander in a bold race to take Palermo on the northern Sicilian coast. When stiff German resistance halted Montgomery's main assault to Messina through the mountains, Patton was posed to be the first to reach the key Sicilian port and end the campaign. This richly-illustrated volume details the highs and lows of the Sicily campaign, including the disastrous problems with early airborne assaults and the Allied failure to seal the straits of Messina, allowing the Germans to withdraw many of their best forces.

In the summer of 1943, the United Nations began Operation HUSKY, the invasion of Sicily. The Eagles over HUSKY - the airmen of the Allied air forces - played a crucial role in the assault. The Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica provided a significant part of the Axis force meant to defend the island and throw the Allies back into the sea. The Allied air forces foiled this effort and inflicted losses on a German Air Force badly needed on other fronts. Raids on mainland Italian railway transport crippled Axis resupply efforts. The same strikes brought pressure on the Italian state to denounce Fascism and join the Allied side. Army commanders relied heavily on tactical air power to destroy Axis forces in Sicily. The result was a strategic victory which forced Nazi Germany to stand alone in defense of southern Europe. Most histories of the campaign focus on the escape of German forces across the Strait of Messina. Eagles over Husky challenges the notion that the Allied militaries bungled total victory in Sicily. It assesses one of the greatest air battles of the Second World War. This is a topic that has been relatively unexamined by historians of the campaign, who tend to focus on army matters. Eagles over Husky tells the integrated story of the air war waged during the Battle of Sicily. The author draws upon experiences, perspectives, and sources from both Allied and Axis camps to inform the analysis and enhance the narrative.
