The 1st Battalion of the 505th Regimental Combat Team had the mission of 
blocking the route to the invasion beaches of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division 
at Gela. They were deployed in a valley astride the road leading from Niscemi 
to Gela when, at about 0700 Hrs, a column of the Western Kampfgruppe, Hermann 
Goering Division approached.

Aftermath: The German column was preceeded by a small advance guard which the 
Americans ambushed from their hidden positions. Hearing the gunfire the Germans 
deployed their infantry and advanced. The paratroopers maintained their concealment 
until the Germans approached to within 100 yards. They then opened fire  and pinned 
the Germans in the open. German tanks rushed forward, but these were driven off with 
accurate bazzoka fire. Most of the German infantry was killed or captured and the 
armor was forced to withdraw.
