Sicily Liberated: Italy in the Firing Line (Patreon)

208 - Sicily Liberated; Italy in the Firing Line - WW2 - August 20, 1943

The British and Americans race for Messina to complete the conquest of Sicily- who will reach it first? On New Guinea, the Allies destroy a substantial Japanese air force; there are several major Allied air raids over Europe, the fighting in the USSR around Kharkov is brutal and costly for both sides, and a secret Allied leadership conference in Quebec begins to determine the course of the war. Busy week.
