Primasole, Sicily, 13 July 1943: After disembarking on July 10, the British 8th Army heads for Messina. Enroute, she must seize Catania. To accomplish that she will have to seize the bridge of Primasole before the Germans consolidate there. The 1st Parachute Brigade is in charge of the operation. Alas, during transport, planes flying over the Allied fleet are dispersed by AA fire. Only 540 paras arrive on the objective. The bridge is intact but communications with the 50th Infantry Division are broken. The paratroopers will have to withstand the inevitable German counter-attacks while waiting for the arrival of the units of the 8th Army.
