Invasion of Sicily 1943, Every Hour

- Take a look at the Invasion of Sicily by American, Canadian and British troops.
Details:
The last days of the invasion are not entirely correct, because I could not find enough accurate information. The days should be right. I also did not find the exact time of occupying the smaller islands around Sicily and they are only approximate (the days are right again).

I really appreiate how you differentiated between the allies so that we can see which country occupied what
I thought I would differentiate the color of the individual divisions, but that would be a little too much. :-D
@@d-mapper9395 agreed
@@d-mapper9395 Mhm, Amazing work.
@@d-mapper9395 how did you find that information out?
@@globe0147 in fact the 2nd World War is one of the best documented conflict in human history. Some battle have minute by minute records. If someone want to know for example everything about battle of budapest, he can find every combatant units, equipments, actions, etc. You just need some books, some online pages, and enough patience.
The mapping is really impressive. It shows something of note about the occupation: while the Americans were supposed to be in a supporting role to the British, George Patton was having absolutely none of it. The British didn't even get to occupy Messina, which they intended to do at the start of the offensive.
My favorite part of this battle was at 1:16 where American generals were bored with the status quo and decided to just take the rest of the island.
UK: "Alright, we're gonna take it slow. No need to rush, they already failed by letting us land. Let's not fuck it up now."
US: "Fuck it, we ball!"
(blitzes all the way to Palermo)
Ya, it looked like the British had trouble crossing a river to the north.
What American centric rubbisj@@Falor5151
For a small area (relative to the larger WW2 at large) you put in a lot of detail into it. Amazing!
it’s so detailed wow
Wow again im just impressed from the quality and all the small details on this video the music also fits good. Good job! Im looking forward for the next masterpiece!
omg hi ebm!!
I've been to Sicily many times. Some of the comments on here have zero understanding of the terrain involved and how it changes, and what the country was actually like in the dark ages. Also the crushing heat.. Superb and informative video.
On August the 15th 1943 after fierce negotiations Mount Etna sided with the British.
ahahah
You always show everyðing so detailed! I didn't even know WW2 was documented so well!
Thank you very much. If you search long enough and in depth, you will find almost everything.
This is amazing! Outstanding work!
Another great video! I like the music and how you showed the battles in the small towns up close.
Also, it's amazing how you were able to do an every hour video so props to you!
Great Video! Keep up the good work!
Nice work!
Perfect animation and adequate music👌
Good work!
Great Job video!.
Beau travail !
Wow great work
This was mainly a competition between the US and UK to see who could take the most Italian territory
But then that depends on strength of the enemy. Like Normandy Americans made so much progress because they were not facing the adversity the British and Canadians were which included multiple panzer divisions in the Normandy countryside.
The eastern part of Sicily had almost twice the concentration of axis troops stationed there.
The attention to detail is amazing! If you don't mind me asking, what do you use to make your videos? I use MS Paint, but I want to move to something that let's me do more.
Hi, I don't use MS paint almost at all, just for some small adjustments. For details like what I do, it is necessary to work with vector data. I primarily use Inkscape. To fine-tune the details, then Gimp. I use Movie Maker to make a video. If this channel were to do better financially, then I would be thinking of a better program, but I have not yet decided which one it would be.
@@d-mapper9395 Thankyou for the reply! I wish you the best of luck :)
Just brilliant and amazing.
You are the best WW2 mapper! What video you will do in future?
I completely agree with you on that because one thing for sure I would love to see operation overlord
@@chasemurraychristopherdola7108 I agree, you could see the rest of the Italian campaign or the French campaign June 6, 1944-May 16, 1945
@@fasolasuchustenax1420 right but I would love to see the battle of mount cassiano and the 1945 Italian campaign
Thank you for your support. As for the other videos: let yourself be surprised. :-)
Incredibile work 👏
IH 🎷🧽
What is the story behind the island chain to the north at 4:07? They all surrendered at the same time
This is really nice animation, where do you get your maps from?
Thank you. About maps: honestly, wherever I can. :-D
@@d-mapper9395yoo me too, i make them myself
Video Idea: Invasion of Sicily + Italian Civil War
you may conduct a limited scale recon operation
the limited scale recon operation: 1:15
WHY DID I THINK THIS WAS THE FIRST PUNIC WARS IN SICILY FOR THR THE FIRST MINUTE 😭😭
It weirdly fits. The british are Syracuse, the Americans are Carthage, and Italy is Rome.
As a Sicilian-American I always was interested in this campaign
incredible +1 sub
Underated
I'm no expert so I'll ask you.
What if? Allies were unable to push axis off
Sicily? Would it have cost the war?
In the long run Italy meant nothing to the war as whole, the battle of Kursk was going on during this time as well and it ended in a decisive soviet victory. A lot of alt history fans don’t like to hear this but the fate of the axis was pretty much sealed as early as Stalingrad.
Well there would be more german troops in the east (or west) but the allies would have still won anyways
Great map same about the soundtrack
What's that Etna area?
its a volcano
Its crazy at 2:27 watching them take regalbuto town😂😂
Bagration pls
what was Etna
most active volcano in the whole of europe. italy is an extremely active territory for european standards
this is satisfying
Is that Scilly being liberated by the Allies to Kayfabe Commentaries ECW theme?! Lololololol
I am from Sicily!
music reminds of windows xp end of life
Niceeeee

Great map but couldn't see Brazil with USA :((
Since they sent more divisions than Canada to help the Allies
Cara o Brasil só entrou em ação em 1944, a invasão da Sicília foi em 43, aí é o começo da campanha italiana ainda mano!
Based
Me and the bois in Sicily
Etna?
It’s a volcano
Whats etna
Volcano. :-)
@@d-mapper9395 thx
FUCK YEAH ALLIES
Mama mia
Patton too OP pls nerf
I Imagine the Americans enjoyed a clear advantage with material and logistics, but also by this time, becoming very-seasoned like their European Allies.
The Eastern side of Sicily is a lot more hilly, with basically rocky ridgeline after rocky ridgeline. Great territory to defend, a lot more difficult and costly to attack (as both the British/Canadian progress and casualty figures show). Western Sicily is a lot flatter with open spaces - perfect for overwhelming Allied material superiority.
France also fought in Sicily..
Dude France was still under German rule when Sicily was invaded. When the allies reached Sardinia the Free France army occupied Corse and later mainland France
George Patton conquest Sicilia
Nah just an impatient ass, Sicily was a disaster for him, ordering a paratroop drop that got slaughtered by American ships, slapping shell shocked soliders and involved in the Biscari massacre of Italian prisoners of war.
I like how the US took like 3x more land than the British and Canada
With much less opposition!
it was shake and bake and we helped
Ah, the good old Patton vs. Montgomery rivalry. If the British had a more competent man, they might have taken Messina, but at the same time you might say that a lot of the Allies success was due to this petty rivalry.
Glory of generals 2)))
The one dislike is musollini
Why did they land in the south? Wouldn’t it have been better to land near Messina and cut of the point, thus preventing more Axis forces from escaping to the mainland?
Malta seeing this happen to Italy:
*Rip bozo*
British: ok, we'll handle the main parts of the invasion, you just support us
Americans: ok
*8 days later*
Americans: actually nvm we're doing this ourselves
What bollox
I loathe Montgomery so much it's unreal.
Why?! Have you met him?
@@Azog150 Yes. I was Patton I'm on my twentieth life.
Just by general statements of people who did speak and witness him, he just sounds like an insufferable guy
This must have been some of the most fun any army ever had invading a place. Not only was there minimal resistance, not only was the enemy so stereotypical that fascists and Nazis are still used as stock "bad guy" characters today, you were marching through f'ing SICILY. I'd love to visit!
ah yess WWII, very fun indeed. are you 12?
stereotypical? makes no sense. Most of the italians were refusing to fight because they saw their brothers on the other line
Italians did not fight, they knew that the war was lost and welcomed the Anglo-Americans as liberators. Only the German divisions fought, when Mussolini saw the images of Palermo cheering the Americans he had an ulcer attack
What about the Italian casualties then? They were higher than the german ones.
They definitely did fight back. The Allies had overwhelming firepower, manpower, and air support. The axis never stood a chance. This was after their disaster in Stalingrad as well. After they lost North Africa, Mussolini’s doomed fate was all but sealed. Mussolini’s Italy was going to be destroyed, a landing in Sicily the Allies were now within reach of all Axis cities in Southern and South East Europe to be bombed to smithereens.
The Italian Army (at least the pro-Fascist ones among others) DID fight in Sicily, their regime's very survival depended on keeping the Anglo-American coalition from establishing a foothold to invade the peninsula or launch major airstrikes further inland. To be honest, the Battle of Sicily and ESPECIALLY the invasion of the Italian mainland that followed is what brought down both Mussolini AND Hitler. Nazi Germany only had enough troops for one major front in Europe, so once the pressure on the Soviets was relieved, Germany's eventual downfall was likely secured. Hitler's only real chance from late 1943 onwards was either some miraculous shift in fortunes on the Eastern Front or to divide the Allies on reaching peace and making a separate agreement with the western powers (this is apparently part of the reason he launched the Battle of the Bulge, as long a shot as it was). Needless to say, neither situation happened.
Chiedi ai morti della Divisione Livorno se hanno combattuto o no. Come ti permetti di dire che hanno combattuto solo i Tedeschi?
Have you ever heard about Sergio Barbadoro?
