À propos de cet audio
In this episode of Special Forces in World War 2, we research Operation Ladbroke, the daring airborne assault that marked the beginning of the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943. This operation saw British glider-borne troops of the 1st Airborne Division attempt to capture key objectives around Syracuse, including vital bridges and coastal defences.
Despite meticulous planning, the mission was fraught with challenges—high winds, navigational errors, and strong enemy resistance led to heavy losses. Yet, the bravery and resilience of the troops paved the way for the larger Operation Husky, the full-scale invasion of Sicily.
Join us as we examine the strategic importance, execution, and the ultimate impact of this special forces operation.
