Sicily




An absurdly inaccurate account of the invasion of Sicily by U.S. and British forces. But the images are pretty cool.

This operation is one of the most misunderstood of World War II. Even the few books that detail the battle in any serious depth have trouble analyzing the military moves, pulling back at several key instances. Yet the actions of the commanders is pretty much  guide to how the generals performed through the rest of the war, and the size of the operation makes it significant in and of itself.
