Mussolini always wanted to prove that Italy was not a second-rate partner of the Axis powers, so he sent troops to invade Egypt, and as a result, the army of 300,000 was routed by the British army of less than 30,000, and the number of prisoners of war reached more than 100,000; Then came the invasion of Greece, which unfortunately was sent back to his hometown after only 3 days, not only did the invasion not succeed, but allowed Greece to occupy a large part of Italian territory ......

Italy during World War II was not just responsible for being funny, but really powerful.
OneThere are a lot of people who have been misled by the jokes on the Internet that Italy was only responsible for being funny during World War II. And I believe many people have seen this paragraph, Italy is portrayed as a starving ghost and a drunkard, both of which are very pompous. Constantly attacking the Italian army from the negative, but is the truth of the matter so?
The answer is no! Judging from the answers given to us by history, the Italian army, which was considered to be only responsible for funny, was not as exaggerated as we imagined, and the reason why he was able to become one of the three fascists at that time was definitely not just by selling cuteness, but by fighting with his fists.
IIAt that time, Germany was not a fool who would find Italy as an ally, everyone knew that when a group of people wanted to do great things together, they all needed to have an entry threshold, and no one wanted to bring oil bottles, which was irresponsible for their own behavior. At that time, under the rule of Mossolini, Italy's national strength has always been very strong, according to statistics, the industrial capacity at that time could be ranked among the top six in the world, although there is still a certain gap with Japan, but it belongs to the same size class, and even better than Japan in certain technical aspects. Moreover, the Italian army at that time was also very strong, especially the navy, and the Mediterranean fleet at that time was very strong, especially in the Mediterranean region, and it had absolute sea supremacy.
It is precisely because of this factor that General Rommel of Germany was able to become famous in the First World War in North Africa and was known as the "Desert Fox".
IIIIncluding in the war in North Africa, the Italian army also performed very well, very military, and was highly praised by Rommel at that time. The Italian army also told the world with its actions that its strength was actually not bad at all, so although the combat effectiveness of the Italian army was not the top at that time, its military strength still reached the level of a powerful country at that time, and it was not responsible for being funny in the war.
-
No, Italy is not without combat effectiveness, it's just that Italy is unwilling to carry out fascist aggression.
-
Yes, just responsible for being funny, because just 10 kilometers from the supply depot, the Italian soldiers suddenly stopped.
-
Yes, I think it's really just about being funny. And in Italy, it really makes a lot of people feel very high. Did you succeed in the end?
-
Be. The history of the Italian army in World War II is truly speechless. In Gao Xiaosong's "Xiao Shuo", there is a special part of World War II.
-
Of course there is, this nation is inherently unfit for war.
-
Most of these documented stories are big stories.
-
Absolutely, but probably not so exaggerated.
-
Either you are not afraid of death, or you are afraid of dying to death.

Tremble before the Italian army! Humanity can't stop this "noodle country"!
The first is about eating: on the battlefield 10 kilometers away from the supply station, because of hunger, the whole army cooks pasta to eat, and then is easily captured by the enemy.
Second, about armaments: the quality of the grenade is extremely poor, and I don't know if it will be ** and when it will be ** when it is thrown out, but it may explode when you let your guard down.
Thirdly, on combat effectiveness: the natives who could not defeat the bows and arrows with cannons and machine guns, and the only ones who could defeat wooden ships with steel ships were Italy.
Fourth, on surrender: In the North African theater, the British fought 10,000 Italian troops with 25 men and captured more than 8,000 Italians.
Fifth, on the campaign: In June 1940, when Hitler attacked France, Italy took advantage of the fact that France was ravaged by the Germans to the point of almost surrender, and as a result, the French occupied many territories.

The influence of feudal ideology was deep, so the reform was not very thorough. The international ** center has been transferred to the Atlantic coast, and it is a country that is very dependent on foreign trade. He occupied very few colonies, some of which were desolate.
Funny thing, the most aggrieved general in the world, during World War II, a senior Italian general returned to Italy by plane from North Africa, without prior notice, but was hit hard by Italian anti-aircraft artillery, and finally beat down, and happily reported to his superiors to prepare for the award, but was scolded bitterly
-
The first result of the Italian anti-aircraft artillery in World War II was a German aircraft.
The Italian pilot said the airtight cockpit"I can't feel the wind", so Italy did not produce high-speed fighters until it surrendered.
A German general said: "If the Italians are our enemy, then we can sweep them away with three divisions, and if the Italians remain neutral, then we can free up five divisions to fight the Soviets, but now the Italians are our allies, so we have to use ten divisions to protect them." ”

It can only be said that countries like Italy, France, and Spain have too charming landscapes, and they are typical places to enjoy life, and they are so romantic that they are not suitable for war.
-
If Germany's combat strength is 100, Japan is 1, and Italy is minus 100.
Italians are not used to war, and they think they should spend more time with their families and enjoy life.
Italy has been called "pauper-free imperialism".
Indigenous resources are scarce. Heavy industry is weak. At least at that time, Japan still dominated the three northeastern provinces of China to provide them with industrial resources.
As for always being defeated, it's because their hearts are not in battle at all, just look at them eating food and pasta on the battlefield
-
An Allied general who once took part in the attack on Sicily said that the greatest danger for the Allies in Sicily was not fighting, but being trampled to death by Italian prisoners of war ......
It is said that at that time, there was a joke that the most stubborn resistance of the Allies in Sicily was the ...... of wild animals who fled from the local zoo
-
The Italian army is the Indian army of the West.
Normandy landings! This is the so-called second battlefield! At that time, Germany's SEAL program failed, that is to say, the British air war failed, and Germany implemented the Barbarossa plan to attack the Soviet Union, leading to multilateral operations! >>>More

After World War II, the world pattern changed, and economic and political constraints also changed. After the war, a large number of high-speed reconstruction works required corresponding architectural forms. The United States has seen a surge in economic power since the end of World War II, and the momentum of flaunting wealth has also been reflected in the construction industry, while Japan has emerged as the economy has risen. >>>More

Because the United States plundered other countries' materials during the First World War, so that its economy developed rapidly, and the United States is an economic power, his industrial output value and export output value are the world's first, plus the United States ** Roosevelt under the leadership, the United States' economic strength continues to improve, it can be said that the United States reached the highest peak of economic development in history during World War II, the American economist Alzheutton said, the United States is the support point of the global economy, In the whole of Western Europe, the economic level of every country is less than one-third of that of the United States, and only Britain and Germany can compare with it, and the United States has led the economic development of the West.
