The amphibious Battle of Gela was the opening engagement of the American portion of the Allied Invasion of Sicily during World War II. United States Navy ships landed United States Army troops along the eastern end of the south coast of Sicily; and withstood attacks by Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica aircraft while defending the beachhead against German tanks and Italian tanks of the Livorno Division until the Army captured the Ponte Olivo Airfield for use by United States Army Air Forces planes. The battle convinced United States Army officers of the value of naval artillery support, and revealed problems coordinating air support from autonomous air forces during amphibious operations.

  • Per battaglia di Gela generalmente si indica il tentativo effettuato dalle divisioni Livorno ed Hermann Göring del Comando FF.AA. della Sicilia di rioccupare le spiagge di Gela dove stava sbarcando la 1ª Divisione fanteria statunitense durante lo sbarco in Sicilia. Il tentativo, sebbene le forze dell'Asse siano arrivate a poche centinaia di metri dalle spiagge, fu frustrato dalle artiglierie, dall'intervento di forze corazzate e dal supporto navale statunitensi.

  • La bataille de Gela est livrée du 10 au 12 juillet 1943 à la suite du débarquement allié en Sicile (Opération Husky). L'enjeu principal est la capture de l'aérodrome de Ponte Olivo situé à proximité.

Une fois la tête de pont établie, les Rangers sécurisent la ville tenue par les Italiens du 429e bataillon côtier. Le 11 juillet, la 4e division d'infanterie de montage Livorno et la 1re division Fallschirm-Panzer Hermann Göring soutenues par la Luftflotte 2 tentent une contre-attaque qui s'avérera être inf (fr)
