How did Germany react to the invasion of Sicily?

by TheBigGuns69

I'm writing an essay with the prompt "To what extent did Operation Husky achieve its aims?". I've mainly focused on how the Allied forces have accomplished their aims of removing Italy from the Axis powers and securing the central Mediterranean. However, the part that is giving me trouble is how Germany reacted to the invasion of Sicily. I can't find many sources that talk about how they reacted. If someone could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
