the first large scale airborne operation was in conjunction with the assau on sicily. 10th july 1943,aking from fields in africa for dropping zones in sicily, troop carrier der and aircraft units of the first british and the us 82nd airborne divisions almost a year before this transported a parachute infantry battalion from england to start the invasion of north africa. but the invasion of sicily was the first real test for a troop units, which are trained in maneuvers in texas, the carolinas and england. the sicilian operation. there was much to be learned about the planning of an airborne operation. troop carrier aircraft was shot down friendly forces and scattered. it was a tactical success, however rich an experience for the units which would later participate in the assault on the continent continent. the lesson was driven, but more navigation aids were badly needed, but gliders must be landed at speeds. but some type of air brake was necessary to decrease the rate of descent of gliders going into small fields. the protection for the nose, the glider and rough landing should be p

here's p-38 on sicily.there was no designation the friendly gunners below they couldn't tell whether it was an enemy aircraft a friendly aircraft. so they made sure they did. and these are very easily seen. they use the p30 eight. so the naval gunners that were down in the channel could easily distin a two tails again as i say great lessons learned here and eisenhower pushed this and this and incidentally, one they were looking at shall we use mass attacks with airborne again after the sicily drop, one of the biggest proponents was montgomery, the ground commander. he really pushed it okay. the eject is in the missions with the objectives, the mission is accomplished. i say yes. were here's st mary's glaciers. the troops moving through there shortly thereafter. that's the town of saint merkley's that was taken by the five oh fifth and it was in hands by 430. that morning this. is the german battery that i showed you this was located here and 101st took that out very quickly before the first boat beached on

they did not fly over the landing beaches like they did in sicily. 504 and 505th went into sicily. 504 had 23 friendly aircraft shot down by naval gunfire because the assault were right over the beaches. they also did not use pathfinders of that operation. these are some of the lessons learned that planners looked at and eisenhower insisted that they make those changes, because i was skeptical -- ike was skeptical after the operation in sicily. they came in the western part and the british came in here. they flew into what they call a v formation. you see three aircraft in each v formation. that is something approached the 1-1st and 82nd. let me mention here quickly, the british airborne. if you go off the map here, you go to the beach. there were two vertical bridges -- critical bridges that has to be taken prior to the assault on the beaches. later renamed pegasus for the brits and horsa after the british troop carrier here. this was a during operation, and in my view it was one of the best operations ever conceived and planned in world war ii. it consisted of six gliders. you see th

sicily had a population of over 2.2 million people, and the neapolitan troops are disciplined. soldier. and though they probably have no great affection for the government which employs them, they still will fight for pay and have the advantage of being well-armed and well-trained. the message that garibaldi's force smaller, less formally trained, fighting against a larger equipped force that was only fighting for the pay without believing substantial usually in the cause for which they were fighting, surely resonate did with a readership filtering the news through the lens of potential secession. this conflict in the united states at the same time, however, others began to worry particular when slavery was inserted into the narrative and editor in the columbus inquire inquirer noted that most of the northern papers applauding and encouraging the foray of the filibuster garibaldi into sicily. now they're actually calling him a filibuster. the editorial didn't to denigrate that sympathy to be sure, but it did protest that it is glaringly inconsistent for men who eulogize garibal

how, when, when it reached sicily is still unclear? i wouldn't advise you on after so far. the invasion has split the under the radar. and there has is a major damage here many this one, but it's a number of and hills grows. it will harm agricultural fruit and vegetable production and if i call the tri primarily in places, this would be more sense. for example, in playgrounds or private gardens. after a couple of painful stings and bumps common caruso realized that it wasn't the nature fence that were ruining her rose, got the thoughts up here. they are right up to your roses for 5 hours of the to the level for me as a lover of roses. this is just awful. it breaks my heart, the modem. i care for them with a lot of love. for me when i see what these ants are doing to my roses, it's like they're hurting me pretty darn convicted. i still don't know how to get rid of them. i'm not really sure what can be to come up with the bit louder, cuz we don't. the sicilian regional government also wants to get rid of. it recently appointed for a student, john lucas, the lead to a special

then we wentrom north africa into sicily, husky. then they went from sicily into italy. so all that's been cleared. now the germans on iside, the russians are on the offensive. we had stalingrad then, we had the battle of kurtz. as a consequence of that, you can see the russian advance over here. so in, june, this is this is german empire. this is the way it extends at at this point in in june. and let's take a look at geography. notice the difference here. so you're nazi germany, now you want to take look at the difference between english channel germany and over here on the eastern front. what do you have more space that. on the eastern front as a consequence that hitler shifts the priority high priority hit been on the eastern front the new priority is going to be on the western front. as a consequence of that hitler start shifting divisions from the eastern front to the western. so when the normandy invasion place there will be 60 german divisions, the western front. now i should tell something. if the germans where the normandy invasion is going to take place who wi

and're on the island, sicily, and they've got big, huge maps of sicily. george a headqs. and he looks at his staff and says, messina, bill m's the key to sicily. if they had let me land that syracuse and drive up the coast road. messina, i have every german on this -- island now. it's the same thing with con, ladies and gentlemen. if you're going to go into normandy to get into northwest france, to get to the third reich, you've got to go through con imagine the old fashioned spoke wheel and the center hub that the roads come through north, south, east, west is con you cannot move an army through normandy unless. you have a road networ the only exce of course, is george patton, because he doesn't through g montgomery, stays at con and vi there foreeks. and before gets anywhere. but that's another stor the next map on your right shows the relationship of con to paris. here's the rhine river and the third reich. so you can see h important this is, this connection con is like a bow and arrow pointed at the of pears, and th points directly east to the third reich. george knew

they did not use pathfinders for the systole drop -- systole -- sicily drop.hey were armed with this portable radar station and sent them up and sent a signal to the pilot. at that helped tremendously in, but not in all cases to that equipment work. in a couple of cases a crash of the grunt and did not work. where there were not able to set up the drop zones where they wanted to, obviously the pilots, the aircraft did not make their exact drop point. here is a picture of a c-37. you will notice white stripes. here is a p-38. on sicily there was no designation. here they make sure they did, and these are easily seen. they used to the p-38 so the gunners down in the channel could distinguish that with the two tales -- tails. great lessons learned here, and i said i would push this input to this. one of the biggest proponents was montgomery. he really pushed it. the objectives and emissions. the objectives and missions accomplished? i would say, yes, there were. that is the town that was taken by the 5-5th -- 505th, and it was in our hands by 5:30 that morning. t

there is italian, well, you tell an italian, italian cuisine, he will say, we have venetian, we have sicily have our own products in sardinia, for example, we were in murmansk, the arctic, we ask, guys, here's stragonina, why don't you do it, well, it's not like it’s necessary, i say, but you make carpach, but you don’t have stragonin, but you get things like this, well, people start thinking, it starts to move, for example, it’s very popular now. released, well, we are working slowly, we say party, we mean lenin, like mayakovsky, yes, and here we say restaurant, we mean chef, they brought in french, italians, in fact, he says, some of them stayed, yes, he says, they live here in russia, ours, that’s how it is, now the cup of spring has finally changed in our direction, of course, of course, over the years a galaxy of chefs has already been raised, they have grown themselves, today they already receive wages at the level of the same chefs, which makes sense today. i’m even embarrassed to ask in different ways, there are different ways, well, you can name it there, let’s say the highest poin

yes, sicily, of course, sicily, yes, well, let's let’s summarize, after the third round: dmitry’s score, everything was done by himself, the deputy began to handle it. every third business develops with the kontur ecosystem, based on real developments. us army special forces because you're fucking stupid. he practiced hand-to-hand combat techniques on a russian bride. gordon beat me, i got a concussion, lessons in patriotism from gordon black. how an american army sergeant was caught stealing. you're like a rat you come at me and steal my money. and who else felt at home in russia because of the ocean guests? i'm an american, i can do whatever i want. why did william russell go to the children's library at night? in his underpants, he was tired, he was drunk, undressed, neatly folded his things, he could just be intoxicated and how much would the american court give robert gilman if he had attacked a policeman not in voronezh, but somewhere in chicago? remember, even though you drank approximately how much during the day and also drank, i feel bad i speak russian, american boy today at

italian island of long produce them is located in the middle of the mediterranean sea, halfway between sicily and to niga and africa, and one produces therefore a destination for many migrants heading for the you. more than a 1000 landed there in just one single day the spring. oh, here is what some people on the islands have been saying about this a you election that really does sort of stuff. i most thing that i was feeling very undecided about whether to go invited or actually i was thinking of not voting because europe is not felt here at all. but in the end, out of a sense of civic duty, i will go and vote on the data that i'm for this. as a resident of love to do is, i hope that you are a can finally recognize all the sacrifices lemme produce that has made because lump it to is, it has done so much representing your. it has given a sign of hospitality of freedom. it is given a sign of entry to your but your up has always been absent to allow me to do something that is also in love to do. the bodies of several migrants who died off the coast of north africa have been brought ashore. ca,

three times before d-day, our gis stormed the beaches at sicily, salerno, anzio.ivisions like the fighting 36th brawled their way through italy, fighting through the mud for months, marching through towns past waving children before opening the gates to rome. as the dogfaces marched to victory in europe, the devil dogs, the marines, clawed their way from island to island in the pacific, in some of the war's fiercestighting. and back home, an army of women, including my grandmother, rolled up their sleeves to help build a mighty arsenal of democracy. but it was here, on these shores, that the tide was turned in that common struggle for freedom. what more powerful manifestation of america's commitment to human freedom than the sight of wave after wave after wave of young men boarding those boats to liberate people they had never met? we say it now as if it couldn't be any other way. but in the annals of history, the world had never seen anything like it. and when the war was won, we, we helped europe rebuild. we claimed no land other than the earth where we buried t

they landed in sicily right both times. they went in at night unde cover of darkness. they went in in under conditions limited the effectiveness of enemy fire. and at normandy, they didn't have that either. they went in just at dark, just daylight is break. and they went in at zero 630 in the morning. and that's when they that's they go in there. all right. so, again, the question is, why did they do this? i got two different amphibious warfare doctrine. i got u.s. navy marine corps do over and i got british amphibious warfare over here. and they seem to not use either one of them in terms of the process of conducting the invasion here. and that's the question that i that i explore iand in omaha beach. let's let's think about this this this thing. i you're the big red one now. you're the first infantry division. hey, you've been sitting in these ships for over 24 hours. the landing supposed to take place on the fifth, but the conditions were bad, and as a consequence, that eisenhower decided that now going to postpone it. so again you must sitting in these ships for a

wall and become vertical, and... of course, shutters that will directly refer to the interiors of sicily, just above the headboard, yes, above the headboard we will place a very interesting photographic work, in my opinion, it is very much in the style of italy, this is a photographic work of a russian artist, it depicts a boy from a dagestan village who was photographed on the school line, i thought it was a reproduction of a renaissance painting, no, but at the same time it fits very well into... into our style, absolutely, it serves as such a bright, cool accent. by the way, have you noticed what kind of pillows our heroes have here? lying on the sofa, this is audrich hebburn, she played in the roman holiday, yes, i think this is a cool sign, further in the program. anton, how are you there? i'm speeding up. let's go to minsk, visit an apartment where both animals and people feel equally good. at the same time , we’ll find out what the true value of a kitchen island is. previously, valentin sat on the sofa and waited for me to prepare dinner for him. the finale of the show, via supers

now, of course george patton will go on from north africa to the invasion of sicily where he beats onethe finest units in the german army, their hermann goring division, which is given a verbal reference in the movie. patton knows how to command. he knows how to use history. he knows everything there is to know about warfare but he has a trick up his sleeve also appear we will touch on in a little bit. then the great invasion is getting that patch you see is patent war and that a lot of gis and others wore. it's first united states army group. i understand if you can find what it originals of these it's quite valuable. now, it was the phantom army that was set up under patton to keep the german 15th army for the invasion. the german 15th 15th army d about 75,000 men. they sat just to the east of the province of normandy, and they could have come right along the coastline and rolled up the allied invasion. if it wasn't for george patton with his phantom first army group of there, because the chairman's were convinced, especially hitler, that patton would lead the assault at calais becau

in july the allies invaded sicily. the invasion led to the overthrow of mussolini's government. italy's surrender. soon after. the battle of the atlantic. the campaign end. the german submarine menace in the atlantic ocean began to turn the allies favor as well. the allies to eliminate this threat so they could begin the giant build up of men and supplies in great britain that would be needed for the decisive of northwest europe. from 1942 to 1944, the allies pondered, when, where and how a second front in europe could be open this issue caused considerable friction between the big three. as roosevelt, churchill and stalin each had their own ideas concerning the plan of attack. stalin demanded that his allies strike at the heart of hitler's empire in northwestern europe to distract and draw off a portion of the german forces that were attacking the ussr. roosevelt also favored assault on northwestern europe, but realized attack would require time for careful planning and preparation. churchill pushed for a more limited strategy of attack along the of the axis empire, not novembe
