Penyerbuan Bersekutu ke atas Sicily

Penyerbuan Bersekutu ke atas Sicily, nama kod Operasi Husky, adalah sebuah kempen besar Perang Dunia II, yang mana pihak Bersekutu menawan pulau Sicily daripada kuasa Paksi (Itali dan Nazi Jerman). Ia bermula dengan operasi amfibia dan airborne yang besar, diikuti oleh kempen darat selama enam minggu, dan memulakan Kempen Itali.

Husky bermula pada malam 9/10 Julai 1943, dan berakhir pada 17 Ogos. Secara strategiknya, Husky mencapai sasaran yang ditetapkan oleh para perancang Bersekutu; pihak Sekutu menghalau angkatan udara, darat dan laut Paksi daripada pulau itu dan jalan laut Mediterranean telah dibuka untuk kapal-kapal dagang Sekutu buat pertama kalinya sejak tahun 1941. Pemimpin Itali, Benito Mussolini, telah digulingkan dari  tampuk kuasa di Itali dan laluan dibuka untuk penyerbuan Bersekutu ke atas Itali. Pemimpin Jerman, Adolf Hitler, "membatalkan satu ofensif besar di Kursk hanya selepas seminggu, sebahagiannya untuk mengalihkan bala tentera ke Itali," mengakibatkan kekuatan Jerman berkurangan di Barisan Timur.
