Combat Action and the Impact of Terrain in Sicily in 1943

Joining me in this episode is Steven Clay who works with the Army University Press Combat Studies Institute Staff Ride Team. Steve talks to us about the terrain in Sicily and how that terrain impacted operations including Operation Husky and throughout the Sicily Campaign. He also talks about the combat experiences of the 16th Infantry Regiment and 1st Infantry Division throughout the campaign. Steve created some really cool animated maps for this talk, but since this is an audio podcast I will put the maps on Twitter and paste the link here: https://twitter.com/Mother_of_Tanks/status/1683146971098370049 I will also link to the thread on my website on the Podcast page. This is one of about 30 episodes that help tell the story of the Sicily Campaign in 1943.
