Messina, Battle of the final battle in the
World War II invasion of
Sicily, won by the
Allies on August 17, 1943. It was a noted triumph for the U.S. 7th Army under Gen.
George S. Patton, which reached Messina while British Gen.
Bernard Law Montgomery's troops were bogged down outside of it. One month later, however, Montgomery would lead the Allied invasion of the Italian mainland from there.
