The Importance of the Invasion of Sicily
The Allied invasion of Sicily, Operation Husky on July 10, 1943, involved more troops on the first day than the later Normandy landings. The campaign's legacy is partly shaped by the film 'Patton,' which simplified it as a rivalry between U.S. Lt. Gen. George S. Patton and British Lt. Gen. Bernard Montgomery.
