Photo by Robert Capa

This man, along with other American soldiers, were on a reconnaissance mission to capture Troina, a strategically located town on the main road to Messina, Sicily’s main port to mainland Italy. The town was being fiercely defended by the Germans, in an attempt to evacuate all German troops from the island.
