198 - Eisenhower Lays Out His Plans for Sicily - WW2 - June 11, 1943

The Allies bomb Mediterranean islands in preparation for their invasion of Sicily next month; they also prepare a lot of deceptions to mislead the enemy as to where they will attack. The German plans for the summer offensive against the Kursk Salient are ever more concrete, and in the field this week, the Chinese stop the Japanese offensive cold.

About a month to go before Operation Husky and Citadel are scheduled to begin. The passage of time feels really fast, just a few months ago, we were just going through the Battle of Stalingrad! I wonder what will be next after all this? Hmmm....

Nice preparation for the Sicily landing by having the enemy preparing in Greece. Deception and surprise and key elements in war.

Man, the British are on an entirely different level when it comes to intelligence and deception. I don't know how they do it, but damn they are the masters.

They can be very good, but at least for WWII this game is defined by the Soviets in their maskirovka doctrine.

Was stationed in Sicily in the 90s. You walk around some of the cities, still bullet holes everywhere.
