On July 10, 1943, the Allied forces launched their assault on Axis-occupied Europe by landing on Sicily, near Italy. The British 8th Army, commanded by Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, landed in the island’s southeastern region, facing minimal opposition from the weakened Sicilian troops. Concurrently, the U.S. 7th Army, led by General George S. Patton, came ashore on the southern coast. By the third day, the Allies had successfully deployed 150,000 troops on the island.
