  1. Completely missing here: the Battle of the Straits of Messina. This was the battle to destroy the German Army as it withdrew from Sicily. One of the greatest coordinated land-and-sea operations that ever didn't happen. The Americans didn't show up. The British Army didn't show up. The British Navy didn't show up. Quietest battle of the entire war. The Germans won.
