I like Mark Felton videos.
I watch his videos also. They are great.
Thank you.
No *wonder* it took so long to break out, I'd always blamed Montgomery. ;^)
I had seen this one before.
Very cool.
Thanks for posting.
FWIW, I had the opportunity to have a long talk with a veteran of the Sicily campaign. He said that if you mentioned the name Lucky Luciano to the locals you were golden. Not only would the locals give detailed info on where the Germans were, they would kill the fatted calf as it were. If no Germans were nearby you were loaded down with food and wine to carry with you.
Strange isn’t it how little bits of history come to light. Italians were not for the most part interested in Fascism or fighting against America.

Thank you sir
My pleasure. The computer does most of the work, but I'll take the credit. ;^)
