Husky bermula pada malam 9/10 Julai 1943, dan berakhir pada 17 Ogos. Secara strategiknya, Husky mencapai sasaran yang ditetapkan oleh para perancang Bersekutu; pihak Sekutu menghalau angkatan udara, darat dan laut Paksi daripada pulau itu dan jalan laut Mediterranean telah dibuka untuk kapal-kapal dagang Sekutu buat pertama kalinya sejak tahun 1941. Pemimpin Itali, Benito Mussolini, telah digulingkan dari tampuk kuasa di Itali dan laluan dibuka untuk penyerbuan Bersekutu ke atas Itali. Pemimpin Jerman, Adolf Hitler, "membatalkan satu ofensif besar di Kursk hanya selepas seminggu, sebahagiannya untuk mengalihkan bala tentera ke Itali," mengakibatkan kekuatan Jerman berkurangan di Barisan Timur.[10]
