'''Operation Husky''', the invasion of [[Sicily]] by the U.S. and Britain during [[World War II]], took place 9 July - 17 August 1943.  When the struggle was over thirty-eight days later, Sicily became the first piece of the Axis homeland to fall to Allied forces during World War II. More important, it served as both a base for the invasion of [[Italy]] and as a training ground for the American swoldiers who eleven months later landed on the beaches of Normandy.
