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.
