From December 21st, two 1st Canadian Infantry Divisions, 2nd Brigade Battalions, the Loyal Edmonton Regiment, and a Canadian Seaforth Highlanders began with the advance through the narrow streets of Ortona. Soon they were engaged in a fearsome street fighting against men of the 2nd Battalion, the 3rd Parachute Regiment, 1st Parachute Division. Because the fighting raged for every street, building and room, the battle became known as "Italian Stalingrad".

Following successful landings on the shores of Sicily, which turned out to be considerably lighter and with much lower casualties than anyone expected, the following day, on July 11th, Axis forces launched a fierce counterattack on the port of Gela, in the area held by the American 1st Infantry Division. Although the combined Italian–German attack on Gela on July 11th was by far the strongest Axis counteroffensive of the campaign, and while it slowed the advance in the centre portion of the American landing zone, it had no long-term impact for the rest of the campaign.

The sacrifice of the 110th Regiment and the Combat Command Reserve from the 9th Armoured Division, which fought fiercely on the roads to Bastogne, slowing the German panzer columns, enabled the arrival of American reinforcements in Bastogne. By December 19th, the 101st Airborne Division and elements of the 10th Armoured Division had arrived. Armour immediately went to nearby villages to stop the German advance while the paratroopers formed an all-around perimeter around Bastogne. Two days later, the Germans bypassed the town, and The Siege of Bastogne began.

After securing the beachhead and a critical high ground above it and after the annihilation of large numbers of Japanese following their failed counterattack, the troops of the 3rd Amphibious Corps reached the turning point of the Battle of Guam.
In the following ten days, marine and army troops pushed north and fought remnants of the Japanese island garrison on the harsh terrain of northern Guam.
