World War II: Battlefield Europe - Season 1 Episode 16 The Allies Invade Italy: Sicily to Anzio
The world today is a product of the second world war in too many ways to count.
Was the Allied invasion of Italy a strategic necessity or, as many at the time suggested, a sideshow? Consider both sides in this lecture on Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, and two key battles-at Monte Cassino and Anzio-that illustrate the incredible tenacity of Allied soldiers, but also the uninspired generalship that led to an enormous waste of lives.
