Biazza Ridge
July 10th and 11th, 1943, Sicily.
On the 10th of July 1943,  after very a very difficult landing (caused by evasive action from enemy and friendly ground 
anti-aircraft artillery by the troop-carrying pilots), the paratroops set up their defensive positions.
Soon they would meet with the anticipated German counter-attack: tanks from the Herman Goering Armored Division.
The fight at Biazza Ridge would be one of the fiercest and bloodiest battles of the invasion of Sicily. The battle to hold the 
junction raged on for hours, with about 250 lightly armed paratroopers against a German armored column.
With the aid of artillery units and a newly developed tactic - waiting for the heavily armored German tanks to expose their 
weak spots and then shoot them with bazooka's and canons- the Americans held the ridge and stopped enemy tanks from attacking 
the 45th US Infantry Division landing on the beaches. A machinegun crew from Battery D of the 456 Parachute Field Artillery 
Battalion shot down one German Messerschmidt ME-109 and damaged two others that were strafing and bombing the ridge.
Later, a battalion of the 45th Infantry Division, with the support of Sherman tanks and artillery, came up to the ridge with a 
naval liaison officer who radioed the offshore destroyers and cruisers. The Navy responded by firing their battleship canons at 
the German positions. At the end of the day a counterattack was ordered  and although the paratroopers came under heavy enemy 
artillery and mortar fire, the "All Americans" successfully overran the German positions.
