D-Day went pretty well, considering the plan expected the Germans to barely react. the Brits by naval fire support, the Yanks by pluck. Both Special Forces hold their objectives. But that vital airfield remains out of control and the link-up of the invaded beaches didn't happen...

The bay was a model amphibious site except for the mountains around it & a river through the middle, within air cover range from Sicily. Commandos & Rangers would secure the passes against German reinforcement while a British & American corps (from Oran) would land on either river bank, hoping to link up in time...but the Germans weren't slow enough to lit all these "maybe's" materialize after the Italian surrender.
