This Day in WWII: Operation HUSKY
We will run it today (Saturday) at 3 pm Eastern Time in Special Events II arena.
Join us to commemorate Operation Husky, the allied invasion of Sicily, which started on July 9, 1943.
It was the largest amphibious invasion to date and, following the battles in North Africa, the first step to invasion of contental Europe.
Fierce air battles between the allied air forces on the one side and the Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica on the other, tactical bombing, anti-shipping, shore bombardment, airborne landings, amphibious assaults, Patton vs. Montgomery in the race to Mesina -- all were part of Operation Husky.
