(4) Operation Ladbroke

For all intents and purposes, Operation Ladbroke, part of the Allied Invasion of Sicily, was a full-scale assault. How it panned out in reality, however, was considerably less effective than the later invasions of France, the Netherlands, and Germany. Inexperienced pilots, faulty gliders and poor weather conditions caused the airborne from American and British regiments to be scattered all over the coast of Sicily, despite only departing from the recently conquered Tunisia. What they lacked in accuracy, however, these units made up for in chaos, which was wrought all over Axis positions by scattered soldiers, intent on collapsing their foe’s infrastructure from within.
