so sicily is captured on august 17th. many of the germans escaped to italy, and it's just after this that eisenhower heard of soldiers that he accused of cowardice. eisenhower simply kind of glossed over this in his reports to marshall. he made the decision that having patton on his side and defeating the germans was more important than some of the other questions that might come up. in fact, he felt even more so that this was the right course of action that he apologized when the soldiers took police. >> so they met in kenec br the main question was what to do mix? >> they insist in 1944 while the british were arguing for the invasion of italy. this time marshall selling to compromise. he would continue the invasion of italy as long as they did not interfere about overlord. on that he was as firm as roosevelt. for 12 days that this quadrant conference, the americans and the british are working out to hammer out the details. finally, they agreed. the british wanted a full invasion of italy, and the americans said no. and
