British Capture Catania as Etna Front Flows East
British Eighth Army seized Catania at 5:30 a.m. and wheeled around Mt Etna’s base, trapping German forces on Sicily’s east coast. Paterno, 10 miles northwest of Catania, fell with Mont gomery’s left hook driving toward Messina, while Taormina and Taormina road bombardments disrupted supply lines.
