The controversial general that commanded the US 7th Army in the Allied conquest of Sicily was George S. Patton.
Explanation:
George Smith Patton, Jr. was a general in the United States Army during World War II. In his 36-year career, he was among the first to advocate for armored cars, commanding important units of them in North Africa and the invasion of Sicily, where he was the commander of US troops.
The answer is George S. Patton of the 7th Army. He led a successful campaign both in Africa
and Sicily where he defeated the Germans and led the allies closer to
liberating France. This overshadowed by
a slapping incident that caused him his command. He would later redeem himself when he landed
in France with the 3rd Army.
