Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko te wikitoria a te Allied i Awherika ki te Raki ka akiaki i a Patton raua ko Montgomery ki te haere mai me nga mahere whakataetae mo te
Te whakaekenga o Hiti. Ko te mahere a Patton, i ahu mai i te tohutoro ki te Pakanga Peloponnesian e whakaatu ana i te hiranga rautaki o Syracuse; mena ka hinga ki tetahi ope nohoanga, ka hoki mai nga Itariana. E kii ana a Patton kia mau a Montgomery ki a Syracuse, i te mea ka mau ia ki a Messina ka tapahi i te reti. Ahakoa e whakaatu ana te mahere i te whakaari me te hiahia, ka whakakahoretia e General Eisenhower mo te mahere tupato a Montgomery e tino whakaheke ana i a Patton ki te tiaki i te haerenga a Ingarangi. Ka whakaekehia a Sicily, engari i rite tonu ki ta Patton i matapae ai, ko te hinganga o Syracuse ka whakaoho i te tangohanga o nga hoia Tiamana me Itari mai i te moutere, a ko nga ope e toe ana ka whakaroa te anga whakamua o nga Allied. I te riri ki te korenga o te ahunga whakamua, ka oati a Patton kia kaua e whaaia a Montgomery ki Messina, engari ki te tango i a Palermo i te huarahi. Ahakoa i te mutunga ka angitu ia i roto i nga mahi e rua, he kino te riri a Patton ki ona kaitohutohu a Bradley raua ko Truscott. I a ia e toro ana ki te hohipera, ka kite a Patton i tetahi hoia e tangi ana i te ohorere o te pupuhi. I te whakaaro kaore te hoia i whara i te tinana, ka whiua e Patton te hoia ka tata te whakawehi ki te pupuhi i a ia mo tana ngoikore me te tono kia hoki mai ia ki te raina mua. Ka tono a Eisenhower i a Patton kia tono mihi ki tana whakahau katoa mo te pakanga. Ahakoa e whakaae ana a Patton, ka miharo ia ki te mohio ko Bradley, ehara i a ia, kua whakawhiwhia ki te whakahau i nga ope a Amerika e whakarite ana mo te whakaekenga o France.
