World War II: Battlefield Europe - Season 1 Episode 16 Episodio 16
The world today is a product of the second world war in too many ways to count.

Consider both sides in this lecture on Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, and two key battles-at Monte Cassino and Anzio-that illustrate the incredible tenacity of Allied soldiers, but also the uninspired generalship that led to an enormous waste of lives.
