In this episode, on the 80th anniversary of the start of Operation Husky, Dr. John Curatola, US Marine Corps veteran and Military Historian at the National WWII Museum, joins me to talk about the components of amphibious assaults, how the Marine Corps ultimately made Operation Husky and all of these amphibious operations possible, and how the Allies in general, but the American Forces specifically are learning organizations and, at this time, 10 July 1943, they were learning organizations under fire. John also shares some quotes he included when writing his most recent book, which will hopefully be available before too long. In the meantime, I'll link to some of his other work below.
