Battle Description: In the early morning hours of 10 July 1943, Generalfeldmarschall Kesselring ordered the Hermann Goring Panzer Division to attack American forces which had landed in the Gela region of Sicily.  Division commander Conrath immediately assembled his forces which included the HG Panzer Regiment and Tigers from the 2nd Company, 504th Heavy Panzer Battalion.  The attack began on July 11, 1943 but quickly the Germans were introduced to an element of warfare that would plague them even more a year later - Allied naval gunfire.*
