Omschrijving
Blumenson, Martin - Sicily
Whose Victory?
Purnell’s History of the Second World War, Campaign book No 3
Paperback
13,5 x 21 cm.
160 Pages
GOOD/VERY GOOD
With lots of black & white illustrations
There is still not a better summary and expert evaluation of the campaign than Martin Blumenson\'s (he was Patton\'s autobiographer and the author of hundreds of authoritative, literate articles on WWII campaigns).
In the final analysis, the future Allied strategy would depend in large measure on whether the enemy collapsed entirely or resisted fiercely in Sicily. Yet who won?
The Allies accomplished what they set out to do, conquer the island. But a handful of German and Italian troops, fighting a gigantic delaying action, kept two Allied armies at bay.
Postage (The Netherlands: 3,64; Europe: € 8,70) to be paid by buyer
