Italy is the ultimate proof that its soldiers can be brave, but if: - their logistics are bad. - your technology lags behind your enemies. - your leaders do not know how to recognize your limitations in the war effort: your nation will be an eternal joke in military historiography.

As a German Historian from Munich focusing mainly on Contemporary History especially here in Central Europe including Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Hungary etc. For those into Italy in WW2, i just want to share an interesting Topic from the Italian Axis Forces in WW2 that deserves more Attention and is overlooked, most likely because "Italy had bad Military" is huge Trope i assume. Read up on "Decima Flottiglia MAS" - basically Italian Axis Navy Seals on a Flotilla during WW2 - who have done some of the craziest but still succesful Special Ops during WW2. I only came across recently myself via German Archives and the Fact that apparently those Italian Axis Navy Seals were asked by the Germans to train their Navy Special Forces. So i went "Italians teaching Germans?! In WW2?!" Kinda shows you how powerful bad Stereotypes are, especially regarding the different Military & Branches in WW2. Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

Prayers for any Italian guy who had to crew the CV/L3 Edit: shall all those who fought the great comment war down below rest in peace

Italy in real life: 🥲🥲🥲 Italy In hoi 4 Getting Dalmatia, Yugoslavia for free, defeating france with paratroopers and doing sealion + restoring roman empire in less than a year without any difficulty: 🗿🗿🗿

I still think it might be interesting to discuss WWII from the pretty obscure Latin American perspective. Other interesting perspectives on historical events might also be "Crusades from the Muslim perspective", "WWI from the Ottoman perspective" or "Cold War from the Soviet perspective".

Fun fact Marinos Mitralexis during the invasion of Greece he managed to shoot down two Italian planes we he run out of ammunition, skillfully crashing into them, and then safely landing his own aircraft. Afterward, he reportedly arrested the Italian pilots using his service pistol. Mitralexis's bravery and resourcefulness became a symbol of Greek resistance during the war.

Some People May find this Interesting: The Eighth Army's forces advanced north-northeast toward Venice and Trieste on the same day that the Italian Partisans' Committee of Liberation declared a general uprising and crossed the Po on the right flank. Divisions of the US Fifth Army advanced northward toward Austria and northwest toward Milan. The German-Italian Army of Liguria was caught off guard by the Brazilian division's quick advance towards Turin, which led to its collapse.

This is the guide to how to do a full historical Italy in hoi4

I absolutely love the meme references and comedy griffin puts in these vids. its such a shame YouYube hates on such golden content like this, but absolutely even allows elsagate to exist on the platform. i wish you only the best, Griffin.

I was glued to this video. It was so well done and so interesting. Incidentally, my dad was part of Patton's Seventh Army and was in the third wave in the invasion of Sicily on July 10, 1943.

A great book to read about the italian expeditionary force in Russia is "The sergeant in the snow" it talks about the experience of an Italian mountaneer during the retreat in the Don river encirclement.

Good video but noticed a mistake, Mussolini's puppet state was the "Italian Social Republic" not the "Italian Socialist Republic", they are very different things

Noticed at 1:01:57 during the Polish's artillery attack, a certain Iranian bear is visible with the human soldiers

Love the long format youtube vids you all do.

Hahaha the use of the Lion King reference (A Disney cartoon) with the the ‘you know who’ is hilarious on so many layers

Think we might see WWII from the Canadian perspective sometime? I know we had D-Day from the Canadian POV, but I’d like to see what the rest of the war was like from their perspective

Thank you SO MUCH FOR THIS I've been waiting for this for so long!!!! There aren't many videos covering Italy in WW2 although it was a major player

thank you for the video, loved all the effort on trying to use some italian words to further immerse the viewer

Another incredible video, keep up the amazing work!
