The Allied invasion of Sicily, codenamed Operation Husky, was a large scale amphibious and airborne operation followed by six weeks of land combat. It was the first step in the Italian Campaign. Husky began on the night of 9-10 July 1943. The campaign in Sicily ended a few weeks later on 17 August. The Allies continued their advance by landing the British 8th Army on the "toe" of Italy and the American 5th Army at Salerno (Operation Avalanche).
Previous to the invasion of Sicily was the North African Campaign. This campaign ended on 7 May 1943, when British armour entered Tunis, and American infantry from II Corps which had continued its advance in the north, entered Bizerte. Six days later the last Axis resistance in Africa ended with the surrender of over 230,000 prisoners of war.
