Answer 3

On Sicily, in July 1943 the British landed on the southeastern coast and the US on the southwestern coast, in the vicinity of Gela.

In September 1943 the British landed on the instep - the bottom of the foot of the Italian boot, and the Americans landed on the shin, at Salerno, about twenty-five miles south of Naples.

After capturing Naples these troops bogged down against stiff German resistance in prepared fortified lines in the steep Italian mountains.

To try to outflank the German defenders a force was landed at Anzio-Nettuno, about twenty-five miles south of Rome, in January 1944.
