Overview:
The loss of Agria, Regalbuto and Centruipe to XXX Corps had convinced the Germans to abandon their endangered defenses in front of Catania and to withdraw into the main defensive position around the foot of Etna. Montgomery urged XXX Corps to step up its efforts to capture Adrano, the loss of which would disrupt the German defense. 4 August, the 78th Division continued its push northwards across the Salso and Simeto rivers via Route 121, while the Canadians were to capture Monte Revisotto and Monte Seggio, then force their way through the valley of the Salso. Major-General Guy Simmonds saw one of the rare opportunities to properly utilize tanks.....Attacker: Canadian (Elements Booth Force, 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade)
Defender: German (Elements of Fallschirmjager Regiment 3)
