This newspaper has a bold banner headline, a map, and photos, with a long detailed report on the ALLIED INVASION of SICILY (Italy) during WW II. The Allied invasion of Sicily , codenamed Operation Husky , was a major World War II campaign, in which the Allies took Sicily from the Axis ( Italy and Nazi Germany ). It was a large scale amphibious and airborne operation, followed by six weeks of land combat. It launched the Italian Campaign . Husky began on the night of 9–10 July 1943, and ended 17 August. Strategically, Husky achieved the goals set out for it by Allied planners. The Allies drove Axis air, land and naval forces from the island; the Mediterranean 's sea lanes were opened and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was toppled from power. It opened the way to the Allied invasion of Italy . Very good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it. STEPHEN A.
