Preparations for the Allied invasion of Sicily, codenamed Operation Husky

Preparations for the Allied invasion of Sicily, codenamed Operation Husky, in which the Allies took the island of Sicily from the Axis powers (Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany). It began with a large amphibious and airborne operation, followed by a six-week land campaign, and initiated the Italian Campaign.
British and American forces recently held a joint exercise in the Southern Command. They worked both as opposing Armies and to a certain extent in collaboration in the field together.
This is the first occasion on which units of the two Armies and Air Forces have worked together in an organised exercise.
Picture shows: A British reconnaissance car has become a casualty during withdrawal to a Recce unit. Here on a transporter, its withdrawal is covered by American guards.
