G THE INVASION OF SICILY Hitler's Fortress Europe Begins to Crumble 3,000 Allied ships steamed across the rough waters of the Sicilian Channel from Africa on the night of July 9, 1043. Grim faces of men headed for this daring world-nwaited venture shone in the brilliant moonlight. For now, iust two months after the defeat of the Nazi in North Africa, we were on the march against Axis-held Europe. Sicily hod to he first. Sicilv had to open our Second Front in F.uiope. For this moun tainous island . . . giant footstool at tlv toe of the Italian boot . . . blocked our path to the mainland. Dark, forbidding Sicily, forti fied for months, bristling with coastal guns and the miht of 4110,000 tough, long-trained cm my troops, spat shells and fire as we leached its soullurn shoies. Our objective: lo take the island. Our plan: the British tilli army to sweep up the eastein coast, the Can adians to head for the enter, the American 7lb army, under Lt. Gen. George S. Patton, to account for the western bulge of the is land and strike northward. So fierce was the wind, so violent the waters, that, as our boats passed Malta, they feared they would have to turn back. Hut Generul Eisenhower and Admiral Cunning ham, commanders of the operation, tlecitli'tl lo take the risk. After hours of savage shell ing of the coast by cruisers, destroyers and gunboats after fierce fighting on the beaches our landings were assured. By 7:30 a.m. on July 10th, our men, many of them hardened by months of fighting in the North African campaign, were hacking their way inland in the face of violent enemy file. For 30 days their fight continued. For 38 days, we and our Allies stormed enemy pillboxes, seized Italian and German airfields, captured Sicilian towns. For 38 days the Axis troops retreated '.'ver-northward to Messina, their last escape port to the main land of Italy. At last, by the middle of August, 1043 Mes sina, too, was ours. The enemy after a violent rout and raiv for safety across the Missma Straits had gone, leaving behind thousands dead and over 135,000 prisoners. Allied commanders, standing uinid the carn age and rubble of ruined Messina, trained their sights and their guns on Italy. Sicily was the stepping stone to invasion of the continent ... to the surrender of Mussolini's fasrist Italy . . . lo violent but victorious battle up the road to Rome. THE SEVEN GREAT BATTLES highlighted here and the many other, big and little that aren't maniioned have brought ui itep by step closer to victory. The success ot the SIX WAR LOAO DRIVES already completed has contributed immeasurably, loo. BUT TOTAL VICTORY 1 still not ours. There are slill many bailies ahead un taught unpaid lor.
