USA launching an invasion of Sicily | July - September 1943 | World War II

After winning significant battles in North Africa, the Allies turned their attention to Europe. General Montgomery, known affectionately as "Monty" by his troops, led the invasion of Sicily. However, the campaign to conquer Italy proved to be a challenging one, as the Germans took control of Rome following Italy's surrender. Meanwhile, plans for the invasion of Northern France were being drafted.

My grandfather Frederick Neary was part of the invasion force in Italy. Respect to all of those who fought and died in ww2

Lembrando que , oque ninguém nas edições lembra .Clark foi o comandante do quinto exército americano ao qual 25.000 soldados brasileiros eram subordinados . Nunca , alguém faz sequer um comentário sobre isso . Deprimente .

[@albertobohon.]

O general Gaspar Dutra era subordinado ao 5° exército de Mark Clark, tanto na batalha do Monte Castelo, os Pracinhas foram os primeiros adentrarem no monte enquanto os 🇺🇸 ficavam na retaguarda, parece que o 🇧🇷 serviu de bucha de canhão dos Aliados Ocidentais

[@mauricioribas5677]

​​​@@albertobohon. Na Época CAP do estado maior do Corpo de exército da Força Expedicionária Brasileira de 25334 mil militares, Dutra nem sonhava em ser General e muito menos presidente da República hoje piada do Brasil, sobre a FEB te servido de bucha de canhão a os americanos e britânico no norte da Itália, os francês que só forão resistência na guerra e ninguém intende como são vitoriosos e os italianos e os demais países da Europa invadidos nem gosta de falar de segunda guerra mundial, só o norte da Itália mas por causa da FEB, lá os pracinha brasileiros conquistou o respeito dos italianos, muitos europeus dos países invadidos nem gostão de lembrar dos britânico e americano pós lembra os americanos e britânico também era preconceitos tinha muita segregação racial negros e pessos asiáticos e até brancos de outras etnias que não era anglo-saxão era separados dos brancos Américo que era anglo-saxão o mesmo no exército britânico já que tinha muitos indianos e negros das na época colônia que lutarão pelos Reino Unido nos países invadidos porém segregados, e os americano e britânico eles maltrava e estrupava mulheres dos países invadidos também, o Brasil é o reconhecido como herói por te respeitado a dignidade humana embora o Brasil teve uma participação pequena mas grandiosa no norte da Itália.

[@holliscook7106]

What's up you didn't finish the segment.

[@US_Joe]

Though little known, the US actually negotiated with the Italian Mafia to facilitate the invasion.

[@josephrichards1763]

Correct. It was quite a significant impact the mafia had on the invasion, especially for the Americans. I can’t remember exactly who, but they had a high status mafia member in prison in the states and they agreed to free him on the basis that he help and he agreed. So the mafia basically became a spy network for the Americans, which is pretty cool. One of my favourite facts about WW2

[@harleyyoung9585]

[@horsewithnoname8795]

One of those "3 German strugglers captured at Regio Calabria" by the British troops was a 15 year old German soldier who, some how, had been left behind in Messina when the rest of the German forces crossed the Straight of Messina in their retreat to the mainland. He was discovered by the locals who at first wanted to kill him, but realizing he was just a boy scared to death and crying for his mother took pity on him. During the night my uncle, who was 17 at the time, and other local people of Messina smuggled him on a fishing boat off the island and to Regio Calabria to rejoin his unit. I heard this story straight out my uncle's mouth who lived it. My uncle wondered all his life what became of that German boy, I wish I could have told him what I learned years later about his fate, but my uncle passed away before I find out...I bet he now knows.

Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing.Professional class A research project!!! Fortunately for Russian general Zhukov/General Guderian was ordered to change plans to fore stall the invasion of Moscow. ( 20 miles away ) enabled Zhukov to reorganize his demoralized forces. Fortifying the perimeters of Moscow. Preventing Guderian from obtaining the Kremlin. The German military forces never regained there blitzkrieg momentum again.

Did the documentary just say that the africa campaign was a bigger blow to germany than stalingrad???

[@vito7428]

It depends on who you ask tbh. There's no clear winner on'which is the bigger blow'. Stalingrad lost the Germans en entire army group and their ambitions for a push into the caucasus and Russian oil. North Africa's loss meant the Allies now fully controlled half the Mediterranean,lost the Italians and the Germans many precious veteran units that had fought in Africa and also crushed any hopes the Axis would be able to close the Suez to Allied shipping,and take the precious Middle Eastern oil supplies controlled by the Western Allies

[@ulissessimondasilveira225]

I thought it was an Allied invasion, not exclusive to the US? In fact, the landing was only less costly because the British carried out counter-espionage work and threw a corpse dressed as an officer on the coast of Spain with a folder of documents about a landing in the Balkans.
