The strategic goals were to remove the island as a base for Axis shipping and aircraft, allowing free passage for Allied ships in the Mediterranean and to put pressure on Italy to eventually knock them out of the war. On the morning of July 10th, Allied forces assaulted the beaches between Licata and Cassibile. Map by HERO-war_3k. Modified by FHT Mapping Team. " Click on the sign below to join!
