Allies occupy Pantelleria — Italians give up
Friday, June 11, 1943 www.onwar.com
Allies land after the surrender of the island of Pantelleria [photo at link].
In the Mediterranean... The bombardment of the Italian island of Pantelleria continues. More than 5000 tons of bombs have been dropped on the island in the last month. Pantelleria’s 11,000-strong Italian garrison surrenders without a fight on the approach of an Allied assault force. The damage done by the lengthy, intensive bombardment is less than has been expected.
