Maybe during the World War 2, the first waves of Amphibious Assaulters were considered also as "forlorn hope". : (

Here's the thing Patton won the battle but by going after the Sicilian Capital he allowed the Wermarcht and Italian forces in Sicily to escape to Mainland Italy making the Italian Campaign all the more difficult

After the battle, both sides studied the results. Rommel was largely contemptuous of both the U.S. equipment and fighting ability and considered them a non-threat. He did, however, single out a few U.S. units for praise, such as the 2nd Battalion, 13th Armored Regiment of Orlando Ward's 1st Armored Division. He characterized this unit's defense of Sbeitla "clever and well fought." For some time after the battle, German units deployed large numbers of captured U.S. vehicles.
