My grandfather was from Palermo, he said the invasion was quite peaceful quite comfortable because the US sent mostly Sicilian-American soldiers to Sicily and it was quite the experience.
The Allies didn't invade Palermo. The US Army under Patton beat the "allies" in to rolling up Sicily and "conquering" Palermo. Montgomery couldn't get his ass in gear as usual.
Have you ever actually read a history book, you have to be American I assume - Patton, the egotistical butcher of his own men that he was, was fighting soft Italian troops who just didn’t want to be fighting - Monty however was fighting strong German forces who very much wanted to be fighting even as they went back

most of these young men have left this planet for another realm. Thank you brave young souls.
The guys voice is pretty awesome.
Anyone knows what happened to General Giuseppe Molinero afterwards? Was he shot? Liberated?
