As you know, I enjoyed Sicily for two years at Sigonella. Fortunately the Sicilians had the good sense to preserve many of the bunkers built by the Germans, as well as their airfield at Gerbini, which can still be seen today.
Thanks again for the kind words!

As I read about Operation “Mincemeat ” today, we are in Messina, Sicily. Thanks for the reminder. Alice’s Uncle came through here with Patton but was killed further up the boot.
We still enjoy reading your history pieces.
