The Italian army was considered a joke in World War II. What is the reason? Why are they called jokes?

Because in World War II, Italy's record was ridiculous. In World War II, Italy had a record of beating indigenous people with guns and machine guns with bows and arrows, and losing steel boats to wooden boats. Even in a battle, German Marshal Rommel patrolled the position early in the morning and found that the defense area of an elite Italian musket click battalion was empty, only a chicken feather. The most well-documented and famous oolong incident was1June 30, 940. Marshal Barbo, the Italian governor in Libya, was shot down by Italy's own anti-aircraft gun over the bloody sand, becoming the highest-ranking soldier who was accidentally injured in World War II. Before preparing for the war, there is one thing that must be considered in the Italian calculation: is there any way to eat delicious food on the battlefield? Under this belief, while other countries were busy developing new weapons, Italians invented the freeze-dried food preservation method because they wanted to eat delicious military food. In addition, there are three things that can prove that the Italians' pursuit of food really surpassed everything during World War II: First, on the battlefield 0/0 km away from the supply station/Kloc-0, the whole army cooked spaghetti, and then the whole army was easily captured by the enemy; Second, an Italian in a prisoner camp escaped from prison. Because there was no pizza to eat, they took pizza to another prison camp. Later, the former prison camp assured them that pizza would be provided, and they went back. Third, once the German army received a rescue request from Italy in the desert and sent a squadron to rescue it. When they met the Italians, they found that they were boiling macaroni with precious water. Source: Phoenix Information News
