Operation Avalanche was a series of military operations during World War II. The most famous and significant Operation Avalanche took place on September 9, 1943, when the Allied forces, primarily composed of American troops from Texas and British troops, landed on the Italian mainland as part of the larger Allied invasion of Italy. This operation was a crucial step in the campaign to liberate Italy from German occupation and advance further into Europe. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Christina Clardy)
