Fun Fact: Guillet died in 2010 at the age of 101. He was and probably will always be the last cavalry commander to live on this planet
-
everybody laughs until Italy brings out the horses
-
Italy: uses cavalry charges against tanks and succeeds Poland: "is it possible to learn this power"
-
Germans: Calvary cannot stand against tanks. Italians: Hold my wine.
-
Immagine chillin on your warship in Alexandria and than hearing the waves speaking Italian
-
Italian general: We need 6 months to prepare for an invasion of Greece. Mussolini: I'll give you 2 weeks, we got this, ok;
-
Never forget the sacrifice of El Alamein. Honour to Folgore, Ariete, and more. "We must honour the men that were the Lions of the Folgore." -Winston Churchill "The German soldier has astonished the world; the Italian Bersagliere has astonished the German soldier." -Erwin Rommel "Mancò la fortuna, non il valore!" "Luck was missing, not the valor!"
-
my (Italian) grandfather told me that when we ran out of ammunition and without heavy weapons, the Italians attacked the English tanks by climbing on it and throwing incendiary bottles, discovering the trap door, rather than giving up ... The Italians lacked the means, not courage. I speak of the war in North Africa
-
The Italians made arguably the most important invention in WWII, after the British embargo stopping chocolate imports, the Italians invented Nutella.
-
Imagine being a British tanker getting wrecked by cavalry.
-
Italy had some underrated moments in WWII.
-
Germany: here, contemplate the Tiger heavy tank! Italy: behold my CAVALLO
-
"Cavalry Charges are not effective in naval combat" Atlantis has entered the chat.
-
I honestly never thought the Italians were bad. It was just they weren’t prepared for war and most of their leadership was quite incompetent.
-
Admiral Cunningham was so impressed by the courage of the Italian frogmen at Alexandia that he insisted on having the dinner with those who had been captured.
-
If you give Italians proper equipment and commanded by smart commanders, they are just as competent as their axis counterparts.
-
"We cant use horses on water" Italians:*make sea horses that are manned by humans*
-
"Muh Italy bad" Bersaglieri, Alpini and Folgore: bruh hold my grappa
-
It's all fun and games until you hear "avanti Savoia, carica!" And a madlad with mounted askaris starts gallopping towards your tanks. Lt Guillet is the definition of a madlad. We have our very own Lawrence of Arabia. He died in 2010 at 101 years old. Even Death itself was afraid of him.
