For June’s HistoryFare talk, we welcome guest speakers Laurence Allison, Matt Farmer and Hayley-Anne Allison who will be joining us from Oberkommando der Werhmact (OKW43).
Laurence and his colleagues are from the OKW43 re-enactment group and their talk “Between Campaigns: Sicily 1943” will focus on the rarely talked about period of time from April to July 1943.
During the talk, they will discuss a range of topics from the political and diplomatic stance on the Island to logistical issues posed by the evacuation of the German Africa Corps as well as the German and Italian build up of Forces and how that affected the local population, and ultimately why Operation Husky was such a speedy campaign.
Tickets £3/person payable on the door.
